Cognitive Cultural Studies

CogWeb is a research tool for exploring the relevance of the study of human cognition to communication and the arts. It is edited by Francis Steen, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at UCLA. CogWeb contains a few thousand items on cognitive cultural theory, evolutionary psychology, and cognitive science, but it has not been actively maintained since 2001. I'm looking for a new formal for my current work. Some relatively speaking new pages are posted below; see also the annotated bibliography. The historical content is largely restricted to the print culture of the Early Modern period (1500-1800). Frames or no frames. Revised 23 August 2007.
