The course offers a brief overview of theories focusing on mental models of culture defined as cultural mind, cultural knowledge, consciousness, and some research on the human brain and prefrontal cortex function as a base for human intellectual activity. Our objective is to discover what "cultural cognitive structure," "cultural conceptual system" and "cultural cognitive representation" are. We will start with the cognitive anthropology of Goodenough, D'Andrade, Lacoff's and Johnson's theorems, and then move on to modern brain science in relation to neuroscience.

KU1_W01

The student is familiar with key concepts, ideas and methods of research from the traditions of cultural studies and cultural sciences and their contemporary currents including cognitive anthropology, generative anthropology and brain research in relation to neurocognitive science. Student understands the most important theories developed within these disciplines and knows the history and context of their

emergence and the interrelationships between them.

KU1_U01

Students are able to use a variety of databases to independently search the literature on the subject relevant to a given research problem in cultural studies and cultural sciences, including cognitive and neurocognitive research, as well as to analyze and synthesize the acquired information and critically evaluate their source.

KU1_K01

The student is ready to critically evaluate and update of one's knowledge based on the latest theories in the field of cultural studies and cultural sciences related to cognitive, and neurocognitive area and related disciplines of the humanities and also social sciences, as well as in relation to the ongoing transformations and current socio-cultural phenomena.

Learning outcomes are verified by continuous, ongoing assessment.
