The relationship between everyday experience and culture - seen as a set of ideas, values, or symbolic codes - has challenged social scientists and especially anthropologists, for more than a century. As a comprehensive and critical account of knowledge and research in the field of culture theory, leading social scientists explore the implications for understanding different aspects of subjective experience, social practice, and individual behavior. The focus of the volume is on the role of symbols and meaning in the development of mind, self, and emotion. They examine the content of culture and how it interacts with cognitive, social, and emotional growth; how ideas relate to attitudes, feelings, and behavior; how concepts and meanings are historically transmitted. They also explore methodological and conceptual problems involved in the definition and study of meaning, and revisit the perennial problem of 'relativism' in light of topical advances in semantic analysis and in culture theory. This book will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of anthropologists, psychologists, philosophers, historians, and linguists, as well as those interested in hermeneutics and a science of subjectivity.
Major figures in American anthropology, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy have contributed to this study of the relationship between everyday experience and culture. The volume focuses on the role of symbols and meaning in the development of mind, self, and emotion, examining such questions as how culture interacts with cognition and social and emotional growth, and how concepts and meanings are historically transmitted. It also tackles the methodological and conceptual problems involved in the study of meaning and reexamines the problem of 'relativism'.
