How We Think They Think

Anthropological Approaches To Cognition, Memory, And Literacy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How We Think They Think focuses on issues of cognition, memory, and literacy as they relate to anthropology. It deals in different ways with what is a central concern: the relation between what is explicit and conscious and what is inexplicit or unconscious, but perhaps more fundamental.
