Game Theory and Minorities in American Literature

This interdisciplinary monograph applies the theory of games of strategy (or game theory) to an important subset of American literature: minoritarian texts. Fittingly, John von Neumann''s game theory, as a mathematical subdiscipline practically abandoned by its founder after the publication of ''Zur Theorie der Gesellschaftsspiele'' (1928), but purposefully reengaged with on his permanent relocation to America in 1938, carries the minoritarian credentials of a Hungarian-born national of Jewish descent. The state of international politics in the late 1930s certainly contributed to von Neumann''s renewed interest in his theory, but a socioeconomic environment built on the legacy of slavery focused a reengagement with coordination problems that would last until his death. In these strategic situations, people must make choices in the knowledge that other people face the same options and that the outcome for each person will result from everybody''s decisions. The four most frequently encountered coordination problems are the Stag Hunt, the Prisoner''s Dilemma, Chicken, and Deadlock Minoritarians find majoritarian attempts to control these social dilemmas particularly challenging. Hence, a game-theoretically inflected hermeneutic that identifies the logical, rational, and strategic state of human interrelations not only helps to categorize, but also to analyze minoritarian texts. The authors under detailed consideration are Benjamin Franklin, Frederick Douglass, Harriet A. Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, and Mohsin Hamid.

If game theory, the mathematical simulation of rational decision-making first axiomatically established by the Hungarian-born American mathematician John von Neumann, is to prove worthy of literary hermeneutics, then critics must be able to apply its models to texts written without a working knowledge of von Neumann's discipline in mind. Reading such iconic novels as Fahrenheit 451, In Cold Blood, and Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye from the perspective of the four most frequently encountered coordination problems - the Stag Hunt, the Prisoner's Dilemma, Chicken, and Deadlock, Game Theory and Postwar American Literature illustrates the significant contribution of mathematical models to literary interpretation. The interdisciplinary approach of this book contributes to an understanding of the historical, political, and social contexts that surround the texts produced in the post-Cold War years, as well as providing a comprehensive model of joining game theory and literary criticism.

The Rational Shakespeare: Peter Ramus, Edward de Vere, and the Question of Authorship examines William Shakespeare’s rationality from a Ramist perspective, linking that examination to the leading intellectuals of late humanism, and extending those links to the life of Edward de Vere, Seventeenth Earl of Oxford. The application to Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets of a game-theoretic hermeneutic, an interpretive approach that Ramism suggests but ultimately evades, strengthens these connections in further supporting the Oxfordian answer to the question of Shakespearean authorship.

AvMichael Wainwright

Inbunden, Engelska, 2021

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book offers the first comprehensive investigation of ethics in the canon of William Faulkner. As the fundamental framework for its analysis of Faulkner’s fiction, this study draws on The Methods of Ethics, the magnum opus of the utilitarian philosopher Henry Sidgwick. While Faulkner’s Ethics does not claim that Faulkner read Sidgwick’s work, this book traces Faulkner’s moral sensitivity. It argues that Faulkner’s language is a moral medium that captures the ways in which people negotiate the ethical demands that life places on them. Tracing the contours of this evolving medium across six of the author’s major novels, it explores the basic precepts set out in The Methods of Ethics with the application of more recent contributions to moral philosophy, especially those of Jacques Derrida and Derek Parfit.

Kantian Dignity and Trolley Problems in the Literature of Richard Wright

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book examines the literature of African-American author Richard Wright and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, arguing that Wright was not only the foremost proponent of minoritarian protest literature, but also a groundbreaking minoritarian exponent of philosophical literature. In presenting this argument, the volume defends trolley problems from the criticism that some philosophers level against them by promoting their use as an interpretive tool for literary scholars. Starting with Martha C. Nussbaum’s interventions in literary theory concerning Henry James and perceptive equilibrium, this book draws on the philosophical thoughts of her contemporaries—Philippa Foot, John Rawls, Judith Jarvis Thomson, and Derek Parfit—to analyze Uncle Tom’s Children, especially “Down by the Riverside,” alongside other works by Wright. This approach emphasizes Wright’s recognition of the importance and integrity of Kant’s concept of dignity.

Faulkner's Conditional Conception

Nietzsche, Matisse, and If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem

AvMichael Wainwright

Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

1 536 kr

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This book reexamines William Faulkner's If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem (1939), a novel of increasing sociohistorical importance despite being one of Faulkner's lesser known and studied works. Wainwright traces Faulkner's 1925 visit to Paris, where he frequented major and minor art galleries and exhibitions and gained a formative appreciation of color and form, color as form, and form as color. Fauvism, the art movement of "wild beasts" led at the time by Henri Matisse and inspired by Nietzsche, offered Faulkner this depth. Wainwright argues that the chain of recognition from Nietzsche to Matisse to Faulkner, while fundamental to Faulkner’s canon, comes startlingly to the fore in If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem, a book that measures the sociopolitical as well as the cultural situation of an epoch, a period of episodic violence on a global scale, a time of individual bloodshed and collective loss. In surveying the Fauvist bedrock to Faulkner’s career as a writer, this book draws together philosophy, art, and literature before analyzing their influence on him. This process harnesses the thoughts of Faulkner’s contemporaries, both relevant authors and relevant critics, voices that often go unheard in Faulkner studies. The result is a profound meditation on the secular eschatology of If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem, a doctrine comprising conception, abortion, birth, and death.

Oavsett om en människa avrättas med en kula i huvudet i ett mörkt gathörn, hittas livlös efter elva timmar i en städskrubb utan övervakning på akuten, eller dör ensam med liggsår på ett underbemannat äldrevårdshem, finns det någon som ligger bakom. Någon som gett en order. Någon som bär ett ansvar.

New York, sommaren 2013. Med ett djärvt ingrepp räddar den unga svenska läkaren Peter Larsson livet på en svårt skadad bilförare. Ett halvår senare ser Peter – som nu tjänstgör på Malmö sjukhus – en gymnasieelev brutalt skjutas ned på gatan. Än en gång försöker han rädda ett människoliv. De två händelserna bildar upptakten till ett rafflande kriminaldrama där Peter och flickvännen Erika dras in i en våldsam värld präglad av oväntade vändningar, stark psykisk påfrestning och tvära kast mellan Malmös hårda gatuliv och Lunds akademiska elegans.

Judaskyssen bygger vidare på den starka traditionen av politiskt engagerad skandinavisk kriminallitteratur som bär en tydlig social och politisk agenda. Alla patientfall bygger på verkliga händelser.

Det här är Print on Demand-utgåvan.

Om författarna: Kristina och Michael är gamla kollegor som bestämde sig för att skriva en bok tillsammans, då båda brinner för att väcka insikt om det stegrande gatuvåldet och problemen inom sjukvården. Kristina är journalist och Michael jobbar som engelsk copywriter. Han är född i England men båda bor nu i Uppsala.
