Anthropological Inquiry into the Embodied Mind

这个项目的目的是通过田野调查和理论调查相结合的方式，阐明地方社会的结构以及人们组织他们的实践的方式。在我们的田野工作中，我们尽了最大的努力来产生能够超越思想/身体或文化/自然等二分法的描述和分析，同时通过我们的理论研究，我们成功地建立了一个新的范式，它超越了专注于表征的主导理论。我们关注这种体现，从一个新的角度，揭示了认知和语言活动，揭示了社会行为和实践的地方礼仪。

The purpose of this project is to elucidate the structure of local societies, as well as the ways in which the people organize their practices, by integrating the fieldwork researches and theoretical investigations. In our fieldworks, we made the fullest effort to produce the descriptions and analyses that could overtake the dichotomy such as mind/body or culture/nature, while through our theoretical investigations we succeeded in establish a new paradigm that transcends the dominant theories focusing on representations. Paying our attentions to the embodiment, we threw light onto the cognition and language activities, and revealed local manners of social acts and practices, from a new vantage point.
