With insights gained from interviews and fieldwork, John Tofik Karam examines how Brazilians of Syrian-Lebanese descent have gained greater visibility and prominence as the country has embraced its globalizing economy, particularly its relations with Arab Gulf nations. At the same time, he recounts how Syrian-Lebanese descendents have increasingly self-identified as ""Arabs.""

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 610 $aCommunication studies. 610 $agame theory. 610 $asemiotics. 615 0$aCommunication and culture. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a302.2 686 $aAP 14000$2rvk 700 $aNeiva Ju?nior$b Eduardo$01466105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788553103321 996 $aCommunication games$93676412 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00935nam0-2200241 --450 001 9910837499403321 005 20240311130237.0 100 $a20240311d1985----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $a<>recezione italiana della Existenzphilosophie nel dopoguerra: problemi interpretativi e significati etico-politici$fGiuseppe Cacciatore 210 $a[Napoli]$cFrancesco Giannini & figli$d1985 215 $aP. 46-67$d24 cm 300 $aEstr. da: Atti dell'Accademia di Scienze morali e politiche, Vol. 95 (1984) 700 1$aCacciatore,$bGiuseppe$f<1951- >$05242 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aLG 912 $a9910837499403321 952 $aDAM OPUSC. 12 (12)$b2024/1646$fFLFBC 959 $aFLFBC 996 $aRecezione italiana della Existenzphilosophie nel dopoguerra: problemi interpretativi e significati etico-politici$94131200 997 $aUNINA
