Brekhus, Wayne H, Culture and Cognition: Patterns in the Social Construction of Reality (original) (raw)
2016, Canadian Journal of Sociology
AI-generated Abstract
The sociological study of culture and cognition synthesizes cultural sociology with cognitive psychology to explore how cognitive processes are influenced by social contexts. Brekhus highlights five key cognitive processes: perception, classification, meaning-making, identity construction, and memory. The book also engages with theoretical debates around automatic and deliberative cognition, providing a comprehensive overview of contemporary traditions in Culture and Cognition, and serving as a resource for further academic exploration.

This paper seeks to conceptualize some of the issues at stake when cognitive science seriously takes up the question of culture. A number of approaches have begun to consider cultural context as more than yet another variable, the complexity of which will simply require more sophisticated computational models. Rather these approaches have undertaken to research the very form of cognition differently, as situated, distributed, and as a social practice. In these new endeavors, what is the implicit model of culture that is being used? This paper raises this essential theoretical question and takes Michael Tomasello's work on cognition, language, and culture as an example of how recent approaches in cognitive science can raise foundational questions on the relationship of culture to cognition. Introduction: The Culture Question is Big In the wake of a growing interest in the relationship between cognition and culture, it is important to supplement descriptive research and disciplina...
Rethinking Culture and Cognition
Annual Review of Sociology, 2021
Paul DiMaggio's (1997) Annual Review of Sociology article urged integration of the cognitive and the cultural, triggering a cognitive turn in cultural sociology. Since then, a burgeoning literature in cultural sociology has incorporated ideas from the cognitive sciences-cognitive anthropology, cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience and philosophy-significantly reshaping sociologists' approach to culture, both theoretically and methodologically. This article reviews work published since DiMaggio's agenda-setting piece-research that builds on cross-disciplinary links between cultural sociology and the cognitive sciences. These works present new ideas on the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of culture, on how forms of personal culture interact, on how culture becomes shared, and on how social interaction and cultural environments inform cognitive processes. Within our discussion, we point to research questions that remain unsettled. We then conclude with issues for future research in culture and cognition that can enrich sociological analysis about action more generally.
Folksociology and the Cognitive Foundations of Culture
RESUME : Folksociology et les fondements cognitifs de la culture. Une caractéristique de la vie sociale humaine est sa variabilité au cours de l'histoire et entre les cultures. Il y a cependant une constante, qui réside dans l'importance du sentiment d'appartenance au groupe, dans le raisonnement à propos du comportement des autres. Le fait que des modes de raisonnement soient acquis en fonction du groupe auquel on appartient a typiquement été considéré comme problématique pour les théories de l'apprentissage selon lesquelles ce sont les mêmes processus cognitifs qui sont utilisés dans le raisonnement quels que soient les domaines, indépendamment du contenu. Nous avancerons ici que l'accent mis sur la l'idée d'un apprentissage général et sur la variabilité culturelle obscurcit le fait que les processus spécifiques à un domaine jouent un rôle crucial dans la solidification et le maintien de la vie sociale humaine et dans sa variabilité culturelle. On explore cette hypothèse en examinant les éléments en faveur d'une compétence modulaire évoluée pour la 'folksociology' gouvernant le développement du raisonnement de groupe ; compétence cruciale pour comprendre à la fois l'invariabilité trans-culturelle et la variabilité culturelle. Tous les animaux sociaux doivent nécessairement coordonner leur comportement avec les membres de leur propre groupe social et les membres d'autres groupes sociaux. Pour ce faire, ils ont probablement des compétences cognitives particulières correspondant aux catégories conspécifiques, en tant que membres de catégories ou de groupes sociaux divers. Le cas humain est cependant particulier. La socialité humaine, et en particulier les catégories et les groupes humains, sont culturellement et historiquement constitués ; ainsi les compétences sociales sont acquises dans des environnements culturels différents. Une capacité cognitive, dont les entrées déclenchant et les sorties sont globalement figées (comme pour la plupart des espèces sociales non humaines) ne serait ainsi pas pertinente pour rendre compte des systèmes variables de la catégorisation sociale humaine. ABSTRACT: A hallmark of human social life is its variability across cultures and history. One constant, however, is the importance of group membership in reasoning about the behavior of others. The acquisition of group-based reasoning has typically been viewed as a problem in social learning, in which the same cognitive processes are used that support reasoning across any number of domains regardless of content. Here I argue that emphasis on domain-general learning and cultural variability obscures the crucial role that domain-specific processes play in securing and sustaining human social life and its cultural variability. The hypothesis is explored by reviewing evidence in favor of an evolved modular competence for folksociology that governs the development of group-based reasoning and is crucial to understanding both pancultural constancy and cultural variability.
