  • Evolutionary Games
    Chapter 10: Evolutionary Games We have so far studied games with many different features - simultaneous and sequential moves, zero and non-zero sum payoffs, strategic moves to manipulate rules ofgames to come, one­ shot and repeated play, and so on. However, one ground rule has remained unchanged in all ofour discussions, namely that all the players in all these games are rational- each player has an internally consistent value systems, can calculate the consequences of his strategic choices, and makes the choice that best favors his interests. In this we merely follow the route taken by most of game theory, which was developed mainly by economists. Economics was founded on the dual assumptions of rational behavior and equilibrium. Indeed, these assumptions have proved useful in game theory. We have obtained quite a good understanding of games in which the players participate sufficiently regularly to have learnt the best choices by experience. The assumptions ensure that a player does not attribute any false naivete to his rivals and thus does not get exploited by these rivals. The theory also gives some prescriptive guidance to players as to how they should play. However, other social scientists are much more skeptical ofthe rationality assumption, and therefore ofa theory built upon such a foundation. Economists, too, should not take rationality for granted as we pointed out in Chapter 7. The trouble is finding a viable alternative. While we may not wish to impose conscious and perfectly calculating rationality, we do not want to abandon the idea that some strategies are better than others. We do want good strategies to be rewarded with higher payoffs; we do want players to observe or imitate success, and to experiment with new strategies; we do want good strategies to be used more often, and bad strategies less often, as players gain experience playing the game.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.
