This new Companion traces the development of cognitive anthropology from its beginnings in the late 1950s to the present, and evaluates future directions of research in the field. In 29 contributions from leading anthropologists, there is an overview of cognitive and cultural structures, insights into how cognition works in everyday life and interacts with culture, and examples of contemporary research. A Companion to Cognitive Anthropology is essential for anyone interested in the questions of how culture shapes cognitive processes.
