It explores the idea that culture and communication studies should be seen predominantly in relation to struggles and conflicts within the social arena. It criticizes the conventional heritage of the social sciences and humanities. Culture and communication are conceived not merely as means of integrating social actors, but as semiotic ways of providing fitness indicators that allow for the resolution of competition between individuals. From the perspective of Peircean semiotics and the Darwinian understanding of life processes, Communication Games redefines culture in terms of Darwin's notion of sexual selection. Moving on from the realization that sexual selection creates individual organisms with conflicting interests, Communication Games emphasizes the contribution of game theory to semiotics and communication studies. The book demonstrates how cooperation and shared conventions eventually emerge, and how conflicts are resolved through the display of costly and inflated signs. It is from these inflated signs and the escalation of excessive messages that cultures gain a certain degree of stability. Communication Games proposes a new way of understanding culture, communication, and semiotic exchange in terms of game theory. 606 $aCommunication and culture 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aGame theory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunication and culture. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a302.2 686 $aAP 14000$2rvk 700 $aNeiva Ju?nior$b Eduardo$01043533 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464237303321 996 $aCommunication games$92468564 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00893cam0-2200277 --450 001 9910758697403321 005 20231128112348.0 010 $a978-88-7541-902-8 100 $a20231128d2022----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $aa 001yy 200 1 $aDopo Venezia: verso altre patrie$eI Savorgnan d'Osoppo tra Friuli, Piemonte, Egitto$fLiliana Cargnelutti 210 $aUdine$cGaspari$d2022 215 $a191 p.$cill.$d28 cm 300 $aIn testa al frontespizio: Deputazione di storia patria per il Friuli 610 0 $aSavorgnan d'Osoppo $aStoria 676 $a929.20945$v23$zita 700 1$aCargnelutti,$bLiliana$0470479 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9910758697403321 952 $aSTO 126$b1590/2023$fFSPBC 959 $aFSPBC 996 $aDopo Venezia: verso altre patrie$93598519 997 $aUNINA
