How We Think They Think
Author: Maurice E F Bloch
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429979614
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
“Maurice Bloch is so ferociously smart that one can always enjoy tangling with his ideas, even when—perhaps especially when—one doesn’t agree with him. This is an important and provocative book.” —Sherry Ortner Columbia University These essays by one of anthropology’s most original theorists consider such fundamental questions as: Is cognition language-based? How reliable a guide to memory are people’s narratives about themselves? What connects the “social recalling” studied by anthropologists to the “autobiographical memory” studied by psychologists? Now gathered in accessible form for the first time and drawing frequently upon the author’s fieldwork among the Zafimaniry of Madagascar for ethnographic examples, the twelve closely linked essays of How We Think They Think pose provocative challenges not only to conventional cognitive models but to the basic assumptions that underlie much of ethnography. This book will be read with interest by those who study culture and cognition, ethnographic theory and practice, and the peoples and cultures of Africa.

Biological and Cultural Bases of Human Inference
Author: Riccardo Viale
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134812779
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Biological and Cultural Bases of Human Inference addresses the interface between social science and cognitive science. In this volume, Viale and colleagues explore which human social cognitive powers evolve naturally and which are influenced by culture. Updating the debate between innatism and culturalism regarding human cognitive abilities, this book represents a much-needed articulation of these diverse bases of cognition. Chapters throughout the book provide social science and philosophical reflections, in addition to the perspective of evolutionary theory and the central assumptions of cognitive science. The overall approach of the text is based on three complementary levels: adult performance, cognitive development, and cultural history and prehistory. Scholars from several disciplines contribute to this volume, including researchers in cognitive, developmental, social and evolutionary psychology, neuropsychology, cognitive anthropology, epistemology, and philosophy of mind. This contemporary, important collection appeals to researchers in the fields of cognitive, social, developmental, and evolutionary psychology and will prove valuable to researchers in the decision sciences.

The Problem of Context
Author: Roy Dilley
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9781571817730
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Various disciplines use context to elucidate and interpret objects and events, but rarely is the idea of "context" itself examined. What meanings are evoked by this term? How do social anthropologists and those in related disciplines construe this idea? What analytical strategies are adopted in order to suggest that the relevant context is "self-evident"?
