The Coming Era of Representations

  • Conference paper
Cognitive Analysis of Social Behavior

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASID,volume 13))

Abstract

I find myself in a peculiar situation. Here I have been advocating a social psychology focused on cognitive and linguistic phenomena for over twenty years. And now that this social psychology is taking shape under our very eyes, I am obliged to explain today what I had in mind and wanted to do in the past. And this is something that I must do not only here, for you, but for others who are challenging me and urging me to jump aboard the moving “cognitivistic” train. As though I had meanwhile climbed off that train ! As though I had abandoned my advocacy or stopped my research in my chosen direction !
