Abstract

People are minded creatures; we have thoughts, feelings and emotions. More intriguingly, we grasp our own mental states, and conduct the business of ascribing them to ourselves and others without instruction in formal psychology. How do we do this? And what are the dimensions of our grasp of the mental realm? In this book, Alvin I. Goldman explores these questions with the tools of philosophy, developmental psychology, social psychology and cognitive neuroscience. He refines an approach called simulation theory, which starts from the familiar idea that we understand others by putting ourselves in their mental shoes. Can this intuitive idea be rendered precise in a philosophically respectable manner, without allowing simulation to collapse into theorizing? Given a suitable definition, do empirical results support the notion that minds literally create (or attempt to create) surrogates of other peoples mental states in the process of mindreading? Goldman amasses a surprising array of evidence from psychology and neuroscience that supports this hypothesis.

Abstract

Das Themenfeld "Kulturelles Gedächtnis" bzw. "Erinnerungskulturen" boomt in den Kulturwissenschaften. Obwohl der enge Zusammenhang zwischen Medien und gesellschaftlichen Erinnerungsprozessen stets betont wird, bleiben bisherige Konzepte hier oft vage, und insbesondere die Forschung zu gesellschaftlicher Erinnerung in Zeiten moderner Medientechnologien steht noch am Anfang. Der Band setzt an dieser Diagnose an und rückt den Zusammenhang von Medien, Kultur und gesellschaftlicher Erinnerung in der Gegenwart in den Mittelpunkt eines neuen Theorieangebots. Aufbauend auf einer Systematisierung und Kritik bisheriger Entwürfe wird eine medienkulturwissenschaftliche Terminologie und Modellierung von Gedächtnis und Erinnerung vorgeschlagen, die an den bisherigen Diskurs anschließt und zugleich durch eine Integration kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Überlegungen neue Perspektiven eröffnet.

Abstract

Ce livre explore le mécanisme de construction du réel sur les différentes scènes de la vie : de l'imaginaire national aux légendes contemporaines ; de la vie institutionnelle à la scène politique et médiatique ; de la vie quotidienne à la pensée savante. Les ressorts de l'imaginaire se révèlent souvent identiques ; les gens dans leur vie quotidienne, les dirigeants sur la scène du pouvoir, les journalistes sur la scène médiatique et les savants dans leurs pratiques institutionnelles recourent sans cesse aux symboles et aux mythes, au rituel et au cérémonial.

Abstract

This book surveys whether and how social classes differ in their views on important social issues, such as work and family, the economy and politics, rights and morals, and the distribution of justice. What accounts for such differences in opinion? Are class differences comparable and consistent across different nations? Do class differences change over time? In The Moral Economy of Class, Stefan Svallfors builds on data from large-scale comparative surveys to paint a picture of these class differences. Comparing the United States, Britain, Germany, and Sweden, he shows that class differences are highly persistent. Class remains one of the key dividing lines in society.

Abstract

This book is the first full-length study in English to examine the use of discriminatory language in Japan. As in other countries, there has been much debate about the public use of language deemed demeaning to certain groups within society especially in relation to the issue of minority rights versus freedom of speech. Adding a new dimension to the discussion of language and society in Japan, the book focuses on an aspect of language and power which highlights some of the dissent underlying Japan's officially promoted ideology of a harmonious society. The text presents a revealing e

Abstract

The aim of Evolution and Social Psychology is to give a complete overview of research and theory on evolutionary approaches to the understanding of social psychological topics. Evolutionary psychology is one of the most controversial topics in psychology. The last few years have witnessed an explosion of research in which evolutionary principles are applied to fundamental social psychological processes. Evolutionary thinking is now being integrated into the entire range of topic areas traditionally considered by social psychologists - from fundamental aspects of social cognition, to interpersonal interaction, social influence, and group behavior. This book showcases the multitude of ways in which an evolutionary framework informs social psychology. Not only does the book include chapters on aggression, cooperation, and interpersonal relationships (core topics in social psychology that are commonly associated with evolutionary psychology), it also includes chapters covering many additional topics such as impression formation, social identity, intergroup prejudice, coping with loss, and even the origins of cultural norms. Thus, the book should appeal not just to enthusiasts of evolutionary psychology, but also to anyone who wants to better understand the origins and contemporary workings of the human mind in social situations. The list of contributors is diverse and international, including some of the most well-known and highly-respected social psychologists in the world. These contributors have been asked to make a special effort to focus on the unique insights and novel hypotheses that can emerge from an evolutionarily-informed social psychology. Consequently, this book not only showcases the conceptual breadth of evolutionary social psychology, it also reveals an evolutionary social psychology that is conceptually sophisticated, empirically rigorous, and scientifically useful. This volume - while putting forward the arguments and evidence from supporters of evo
