Thanks a lot, Michaels (Cole and Evans)
and by "good places" I mean institutions.
Cheers,
Luiz

Luiz,
If you haven't already seen this, MIT Press (in conjunction with the
MacArthur Foundation in the US) has just released a six-volume series that
might assist with your efforts:
http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/browse/browse.asp?btype=6&serid=170
I'm currently using "The Ecology of Games" in my course...
BTW, when you say you're searching for "good places to pursue this kind of
research" - were you referring to institutions, conferences, or something
else?
Best of luck!
Michael~
