In case you don't know, the
Cognition & Culture group blog is of some interest. One of the contributors is Dan Sperber,
who I interviewed a few years ago. Sperber et al. work within the
naturalistic paradigm in cultural anthropology. I like to think of it as anthropology that comes not to praise gibberish, but bury it. In all likelihood the models are mostly wrong,
but that's a feature. In much of American cultural anthropology the models can't even be wrong because of the incredibly obfuscatory word-play.
