Culture as Embodiment: The Social Tuning of Behavior

Voestermans, Paul; Verheggen, Theo

Culture as Embodiment utilizes recent insights in psychology, cognitive, and affective science to reveal the cultural patterning of behavior in group-related practices.

• Applies the best of the behavioural sciences to contemporary issues of behavioural cross-fertilization in global exchange
• Presents an original theory to be used in the gender and integration debates, about what the acceptance of newcomers from different cultural backgrounds really entails
• Presents a theory that is also applicable to youth culture and the split in modern society between underclass, modal class, and the elite
• Contains an original approach to the persistence of religion, and relates religious thought to the cognitive capacity of generic belief
