“文化-认知与社会治理”国际学术会议
会议通知
尊敬的 先生/女士：
人类社会的意义构建总是以历史传承和共享的文化为底色的。文化具有最小成本，最大的社会有序化功能，使个体在有限的生命中掌握并利用人类文明积累，与社会融合、协同。文化、认知与社会治理作为人类社会生存的意义环境、个体意义获得的心理过程、社会良性运转的基本依据与方式，越来越成为众多学科关注的领域。人类学和语言学家研究全球不同社会的文化认知方式，从而理解人类社会活动的共同性与差异性；心理学和神经科学运用实验方法，展示认知的丰富与内在机理；公共管理学家从认知机理出发，提出更符合社会治理合法性与有效性的行为政策。
中山大学致力于文化认知与社会治理研究，于2008年设立跨学科的文化与认知博士点，并于2016年设立中山大学文化与认知研究中心，力图整合人类学、哲学、社会学、心理学等多个学科，进行文化与认知的跨学科研究。
为进一步推进文化、认知、社会治理方面的研究，定于2019年6月14-16日召开“文化认知与社会治理国际学术研讨会”，拟邀请文化与认知不同领域的资深学者和年轻俊秀，探讨文化、认知与社会治理的基本原理，并讨论信息时代下的文化与认知的新趋势。

Call For Papers
The International Conference on
“Culture, Cognition and Governance”
The International Conference on “Culture, Cognition and Governance” will be held on June 15th - 16th, 2019. It is jointly organized by the School of Sociology and Anthropology and the Center for Culture and Cognition Studies at Sun Yat-sen University, and by the Committee on Cultural Psychology of the Chinese Psychological Society. Scholars from China, Europe, North America and beyond working on both experimental, ethnographic, linguisitc and historical studies of culture and cognition will be invited to submit their papers on the topic of “Culture, Cognition and Governance”.
The studies of culture and cognition, unlike most other fields in the cognitive sciences that study cognition in the restricted experimental contexts, explore the complex interactions among culture and mind in daily life situations. Scholars scrutinize various instances of these complex interactions and elaborations, such as cognitive dynamics and subject agency, personal experience and cultural knowledge, emotion and motivation, body and consciousness, embodied self, the individual in the collective and the collective as a thinking entity. In particular, in the contemporary world where modern science, physics and the neuro-sciences for example, has displayed striking similarities, and interacts, with centuries-long religions in both Western and non-Western societies (such as Buddhism), scholars specializing in culture and cognition studies also aim to understand two fundamental issues: 1) the complicated implications of science and technology to human cognition in this global era; 2) how human cognition expands its domain and dynamics when science interacts with non-science. Through these explorations, scholars situate human cognition into a network of relations with diverse fields in the cognitive sciences that include philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, psychology, artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
During the last decade, scholars at Sun Yat-sen University (China) have endeavored to the studies of culture, cognition and governance, and the Center for Culture and Cognition Studies has been established in 2016 aiming to integrate diverse perspectives from anthropology, philosophy, psychology and other disciplines for understanding human cognition in socially situated contexts and, in particular, in great social transformations of contemporary China.
Attending to the current development of culture and cognition studies, the International Conference on “Culture, Cognition and Governance” will invite schoalrs to address the following topics:
1) human cognitive schemes as elaborated in diverse cultural contexts;
2) modern governance and informational and biological technologies;
3) other relevant topics.
