Culture, Mind, and Society Culture, Mind, and Society Series Editor Yehuda C. Goodman, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel The Society for Psychological Anthropology—a section of the Amer- ican Anthropology Association—and Palgrave Macmillan are dedicated to publishing innovative research that illuminates the workings of the human mind within the social, cultural, and political contexts that shape thought, emotion, and experience. As anthropologists seek to bridge gaps between ideation and emotion or agency and structure and as psychologists, psychi- atrists, and medical anthropologists search for ways to engage with cultural meaning and difference, this interdisciplinary terrain is more active than ever.

At the same time it explores the cultural production and transfer of knowledge as carried out through the materiality of scientific work. Such work means that human knowledge is not merely a representation of nature but intimately part of it. The ethnography examines in particular how materials and interactions in the lab produce knowledge; how scientific practices combine the discursive, material and the social, and how implicit cognitive processes are sorted out through this work. The book is a contribution to the anthropology of knowledge— following on the ground the work of experimental biologists with an emphasis on the cognitive processes embedded in their work. Solberg is interested in developing the concept of “distributed cognition” and in following how “materiality” plays out in the lab. These concepts allow for following scientists’ work not just as individuals and not just by analyzing their sociality as such. The book is about understanding the v vi Series Editor’s Foreword broader experimental system of a lab—the physical, social, and concep- tual spaces in which scientists work. Solberg then asks how such a system is pragmatically shaped, and how cognitions are formed in such spaces. Solberg explores these analytical questions in the concrete world of Norwegian scientists (at the Sea Lice Research Centre) who interrogate salmon lice, and situates this site within the larger world of aquaculture and its history. The ethnography delves into new technologies of RNA- interference and how they are used in “reverse vaccinology”. Solberg demonstrates how cognition is pragmatically worked out by following collective and interspecies collaborations in the lab. He follows “chore- ographies” of enacted understanding in which scientists and technicians transform isolated, meaningless materials into meaningful wholes. Understanding how scientists repress gene expression in the lice genome means following the epistemological work in which researchers, materials (like lice tissues or microscopes), techniques, perceptions and various representations thereof (including imaging, semiotics, and note taking) are all put together and interact. This collaborative work forms what Solberg calls “ecological assemblies.” Analyzing them allows for understanding how “thinking through things” is worked out. Finally, Solberg draws attention to the ways distributed cognitive ecological systems are laden with values, emotions and political interests, which, Solberg suggests, should invite further inquiry and reflection. Jerusalem, Israel Yehuda C. Goodman Acknowledgments This book should not have come to fruition without generous assistance from the clever people at the Sea Lice Research Centre. Director Frank Nilsen and Ingunn Wergeland made this study possible, after I showed up at their door in May 2012, asking whether they would mind an anthropologist spending a few years alongside their crew, observing their work. With kindness they provided a workspace, access to the lab, and let me tag along on events big and small. No small favor to accord a stranger, and more than I could have hoped for. Your hospitality is deeply appreciated, and I remain impressed by the community you have built. A big thanks to Lars Hamre and Per-Gunnar Espedal for showing me the ropes in the wet lab, teaching me about the secrets of salmon lice, and for many laughs. Rune Male kindly let me attend his lectures on the structure and function of genes, and offered enlightening conversa- tions about the past, present, and future of molecular biology. The hard- working Ph.D.-students and postdocs at the Centre kindly answered my childlike questions about their work over the years, while they really had more important things to do. I owe them much. Christiane Eichner, Sussie Dalvin, and Sindre Grotmol gave generously from their time to vii viii Acknowledgments satisfy my curiosity about their work. Collaborating with Sussie on a conference paper on how salmon lice were framed in online resources for SeaLice 2014 in Portland (Maine), offered a great learning oppor- tunity. Heidi Kongshaug and Wenche Telle explained the minutiae of work in the DNA lab to a fledging observer. Michael Dondrup and Inge Jonassen helped me understand basic principles about the digitization of life, and the bioinformatics of salmon lice. I would also like to thank other members of the community who kindly answered my questions, big and small. Various members of the SLRC have offered close readings of various parts of the manuscript and given valuable feedback. For this I am eternally grateful. Grants from the Meltzer Foundation, the Mobility Fund at the University of Bergen’s Faculty of Social Sciences, and the Mobility Fund for the Norwegian Research School in Anthropology, made it possible to spend the winter quarter 2014 at the Department of Cognitive Science, University of California—San Diego. Edwin Hutchins kindly sponsored my stay and thought me how to better think about cognitive anthro- pology. Hutchins and co-director Jim Hollan offered me a desk in the DCOG-HCI lab, and let me attend their research seminars, as well as many excellent lectures. My gratitude goes to faculty and graduate students affiliated with the lab for teaching me about their work, crit- ically shaping this book in its infancy. Morana Alaˇc deeply influenced my thoughts about how to respecify cognitive studies of science from an interactional perspective, offering perceptive and invaluable comments on later versions of this text. Thanks to Beverly Walton for getting critical paperwork in order. I am grateful to John McNeil, who convinced me about the need to situate the science

  • A Cognitive Approach to Medieval Mode
    Empirical Musicology Review Vol. 3, No. 2, 2008 Commentary on “The Perception and Cognition of Time in Balinese Music” by Andrew Clay McGraw IAN CROSS, SATINDER GILL, SARAH KNIGHT, CHRIS NASH, TAL-CHEN RABINOWITCH, LYDIA SLOBODIAN, NETA SPIRO, GHOFUR WOODRUFF, and MATTHEW WOOLHOUSE[1] University of Cambridge ABSTRACT: We review the paper by Andrew Clay McGraw, noting that it represents an interesting and valuable contribution to the study of music in cognition in its informed exploration of non-western musical perceptions. We raise a number of concerns about the methods used, and make suggestions as to how the issues that were empirically addressed in the paper might have been tackled in ways that would have enhanced the interpretability of its findings. Submitted 2008 April 5; accepted 2008 April 14. KEYWORDS: experimental method, non-western music, collaborative research THIS fascinating paper takes as its starting point the idea that time in music and time in general, may be bound by culture in our conceptions, in particular, by processes of cross-domain mapping of the types that have been postulated as operational by ethnomusicologists, music theorists, and music psychologists. It explores by means of three experiments Becker's hypothesis that Balinese gamelan music reflects and perhaps embodies emic conceptions of time. The first uses an experimental paradigm known as the Implicit Association Test to investigate, by means of response times, the strengths of associations between musical and/or dance terms, music and/or instrument terms, and time and/or position terms, among Balinese musicians. It found evidence for a slight tendency for time-in music to be 'implicitly iconic' of time-in-general, though noted that the results showed high variability.

  • Seeger's Unitary Field Theory Reconsidered 142 Lawrence M
    131 Seeger 's Unitary Field Theory Reconsidered notion of a properly musical concept in greater detail in the latter half of this essay; in my own work it has been fundamental to addressing the question of how it is we structure our understanding of music and for developing an account of the relationship between language and music. Charles Seeger wrestled with the relationship between language and music throughout his long life. In 1913, only a year after he took charge 6 of starting a music program at Berkeley, he wrote, "The term 'Musicol- ogy' comprises, in its widest sense, the whole linguistic treatment of Seeger's Unitay Field Theoy Reconsidered music-the manual instruction, the historical study, the music-research \ of the psycho-physical laboratory, the piece of mugc criticism. Mu- Lawrence M. Zbikowski sic is not founded upon language or upon language studies. But its con- duct in our day depends customarily on an extensive use of language" (Seeger 1913: n.p.). In later years Seeger situated the paradox of music's dependence on language at the musicological juncture. Speaking to the Society for Ethno- musicology in 1976, Seeger described the musicological juncture as "the situation we place ourselves in when we talk about music and particu- larly when, as now, we talk about talking about music" (lgna:180). The essays of Seeger's final two decades repeatedly explored this situation, As musicians, we are aware of a certain tension between making music- examining the way speech was used generally, how it was applied to through composition, performance, or ritual-and talking about music.

New York: Oxford University Press, 1996. This is a remarkable book that will repay close study; it is by no means light bedtime reading. There are two poles to it, or more exactly, the second pole conflates two themes: "cognitive science" and late modernity. This interesting conflation comes off better, to my mind, than do Shore's heroic bridging efforts between cultural anthropology and recent cognitive science. He seems to attempt a tight-rope spanning of the Grand Canyon between Way Back When and Right Now. He was a Peace Corps member of astute abilities in Samoa, and followed up diligently into other anthropological researches. Then he was a student at Berkeley when the most current and extravagant ideas of psy- chology and symbolisms were bruited about.

  • Human Diversity and Human Nature: the Life and Times of a False Dichotomy
    Human Diversity and Human Nature: The Life and Times of a False Dichotomy Bradd Shore Anthropology Department Emory University Atlanta, Georgia In Being Human, Neil Roughley, ed. , Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 2001 1 I affirm, that if we consult History, both Ancient and Modern, and take a view of what has past in the World, we shall find that Human Nature since the fall of Adam has always been the same, and that the Strength and Frailties of it have ever been conspicuous in one part of thew Globe or another, without any regard to Ages, Climate or Religion . As Human nature always continues the same, as it has been for so many thousand years, so we have no great Reason to suspect a future Change in it, while the World endures. (Bernard Mandeville)1 It is very strange how certain modes of thought become general, and can, for some length of time, be maintained, and for long be regarded as something actually existing in human nature. (Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe)2 At first glance, it seems like a straightforward proposition. Anthropology is the study of human nature in light of human variation. Specifically, anthropologists focus on group variation, which, depending on the subfield of anthropology, entails some combination of biological, cultural or social differentiation. But what exactly does it mean to study human nature in light of human variation? A moment’s reflection suggests that defining human nature in light of human variation appears to be more a paradox than a simple definition. It defines not so much a discipline as a dilemma, one that has been at the heart of anthropology since its inception.
