There has been a movement in recent years to combine anthropology with neuroscience with some issues being directly relevant to psychologists. One source of information on this movement is a blog on the PLoS One website named aptly enough "Neuroanthropology". Here is general info about the blog: http://blogs.plos.org/neuroanthropology/about/ And here is a blog entry on the role of Franz Boas in providing a framework for integrating the two disciplines: http://blogs.plos.org/neuroanthropology/2012/06/29/franz-boas-and-neuroanthropology/
I'm stepping out on a limb here but doesn't some of this approach map onto the Brunswik-Heider lens models as expressed, say, here: http://www.brunswik.org/notes/HeiderBrunswik-Wolf2003.pdf I don't know enough about either Brunswik or Heider or Boas to make an informed judgment but it seems to me that they are tackling similar issues in the neuroanthropology approach. Anyone more knowledgeable about these things? -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
