Orientation in the Wild: The Shared Cognition of Hai || | om Bushpeople

Widlok, Thomas·1997·The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

Abstract

Les competences en matiere d'orientation des chasseurs-cueilleurs d'Afrique du Sud, denommes collectivement Bushmen ou San, continuent a mystifier les observateurs. Tandis que les non-specialistes ont tendance a attribuer les competences exceptionnelles des San au domaine de l'instinct, les anthropologues ont ete en desaccord sur la question pour autant qu'ils se basaient sur des modeles differents adoptes de la psychologie. Il y a plus d'une decennie, des contributeurs a ce journal (Frake 1985 ; Gell 1985) ont discute les theories de cartes mentales et de maitrise pratique sur la base d'informations sur la lecture de cartes et la navigation en mer. Cet article tente d'apporter une reponse aux questions qui restent a resoudre en analysant de nouvelles donnees empiriques obtenues chez les Bushpeople Hai||om (ou Akhoe) de Namibie et en adoptant une perspective nouvelle sur le partage social de la connaissance. Au cours d'une re-evaluation du probleme pose par l'orientation, le bavardage topographique et les facons d'indexer les connaissances sur l'environnement emergent comme constituants d'un systeme socio-culturel independant d'une grille latitude-longitude et incompatible avec l'attribution de l'orientation a l'esprit individuel en isolation

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • People are able to navigate across long distances even to places they have never been before without the invention of the map through use of topographic gossip and the association of locations either to important resources for their culture's economy or stories from their culture's ideology.

    “Second, the use of cardinal directions is not a human universal and people are able to navigate across long distances even to places they have never been before without the invention of the map through use of topographic gossip and the association of locations either to important resources for their culture's economy or stories from their culture's ideology (Widlok 1997, Lewis 1976).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
