Culture in Mind: Toward a Sociology of Culture and Cognition
Editat de Karen A. Ceruloen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2001
Rather than considering thought as just an individual act, Culture in Mind considers it in a social and cultural context. Provocatively, this suggests that our thoughts do not function in a vacuum: our minds are not alone. Covering such diverse topics as the nature of evil, the process of storytelling, defining mental illness, and the conceptualizing of the premature baby, these essays offer fresh insights into the functioning of the mind. Leaving the MRI behind, Culture in Mind will uncover the mysteries of how we think.

Recenzii
"A spendid volume on cognitive sociology...Cerulo has done sociologists a great service." -- Judith R. Blau, University of NC at Chapel Hill
"Social scientists can choose among three approaches to the lively field of cognitive science: they can dismiss it as irrelevant to social structure; they can try reducing all social processes to straightforward expressions of cognitive events; or they can undertake the difficult effort of integrating cognitive processes with social relations. Karen Cerulo and her collaborators have boldly and rightly chosen the third way. They display the rich promise of taking the intersection of cognitive and interpersonal processes seriously." -- Viviana Zelizer, author of The Social Meaning of Money
"An outstanding collection..This volume makes a compelling case for the cultural and societal character of cognition. Culture in Mind speaks powerfully to the seamless relationship of individuals to culture and society. The volume is a fine read." -- Judith A. Howard, co-author of Gendered Situations, Gendered Selves
"How very welcome is this splendid volume on cognitive sociology. Karen Cerulo has done sociologists a great service by bringing together the various strands of this field and providing readers with clear examples, conceptual clarity, and a broad framework that will stimulate interest and research." -- Judith R. Blau, author of The Shape of Culture
