[Forwarding from SSRN, via Garrett Eastman. --Peter
Suber.]<br><br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce the creation of the Cognitive Science Network
(CSN). It will provide a worldwide, online community for research in all
areas of cognitive science, following the model of other subject matter
networks within SSRN.<br><br>
We expect CSN to become a comprehensive online resource for research in
cognitive science, providing scholars with access to current work in
their field and facilitating research and scholarship.<br><br>
CSN's founding director is Mark Turner, Institute Professor, Case Western
Reserve University - Department of Cognitive Science.<br><br>
Initially, CSN will begin with the following 7 subject matter eJournals,
and subscriptions will be free during the start-up phase until October
2009.<br><br>
<b>COGNITION & CULTURE: CULTURE, COMMUNICATION, DESIGN, ETHICS,
MORALITY, RELIGION, RHETORIC, & SEMIOTICS<br><br>

</a>Editor: Todd Oakley, Associate Chair, Associate Professor of
Cognitive Science, Case Western Reserve University - Department of
Cognitive Science<br><br>
Description: Cognition & Culture focuses on the cognitive study of
cultures as creations of human minds in environments. Its scope includes
research on cultural manifestations, their differences and
incommensurabilities, and their expressive and semantic regularities and
universals. This eJournal announces working papers, meetings, and events
associated with interdisciplinary research projects and aims at
encouraging collaboration across disciplines. It presents research in
cognitive science having to do with such fields as design, ethics,
history, jurisprudence, morality, philosophy, politics, religion,
sociality, science, and technology.<br><br>

</a>Editor: Mark Turner, Institute Professor, Case Western Reserve
University - Department of Cognitive Science<br><br>
Description: A publication dedicated to the artful mind and its
relationship to the full range of higher-order human cognition. All
scientific approaches are welcome, including developmental, evolutionary,
linguistic, and comparative. Cognition & the Arts construes artistic
behavior broadly, to include not only the various recognized genres of
the arts but also design, style, and performance, throughout the
lifecourse.<br><br>

</a>Editors: Gilles Fauconnier, Professor, Department of Cognitive
Science, University of California, San Diego, and Mark Turner, Institute
Professor, Case Western Reserve University - Department of Cognitive
Science<br><br>
Description: Mathematical insight, scientific discovery, and
technological innovation are hallmarks of higher-order human cognition.
Cognition in Mathematics, Science, and Technology is dedicated to the
cognitive science of mathematics, science, and technology - in
phylogenetic descent, ontogenetic transformation, and historical
action.<br><br>

</a>Editor: Mark Turner, Institute Professor, Case Western Reserve
University - Department of Cognitive Science<br><br>
Description: "Cognitive linguistics goes beyond the visible
structure of language and investigates the considerably more complex
backstage operations of cognition that create grammar, conceptualization,
discourse, and thought itself. The theoretical insights of cognitive
linguistics are based on extensive empirical observation in multiple
contexts, and on experimental work in psychology and neuroscience.
Results of cognitive linguistics, especially from metaphor theory and
conceptual integration theory, have been applied to wide ranges of
nonlinguistic phenomena." - Gilles Fauconnier. 2006. "Cognitive
Linguistics." Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. John Wiley &
Sons.<br><br>

Description: Cognitive Neuroscience is dedicated to research on the
neurobiological substrate of higher-order human cognition. All
methodologies are welcome - philosophical to physiological, modeling to
mapping, statistical to individual case study - in forging a research
initiative that transcends the limitations of any one discipline or
paradigm.<br><br>

</a>Editors: Mathew D. McCubbins, Professor of Political Science,
Chancellor's Associates Chair, University of California, San Diego -
Political Science, Adjunct Professor & Co-Director of the USC-CalTech
Center for the Study of Law and Politics, University of Southern
California - Gould School of Law, and Mark Turner, Institute Professor,
Case Western Reserve University - Department of Cognitive
Science<br><br>
Description: Mental events, however distributed, provide the defining
problems of the social sciences. What are our basic cognitive operations?
How do we use them in judgment, decision, action, reason, choice,
persuasion, expression? Do voters know what they need to know? How do
people choose? What are the best incentives? When is judgment reliable?
Can negotiation work? How do cognitive conceptual resources depend on
social and cultural location? How do certain products of cognitive and
conceptual systems come to be entrenched as publicly-shared knowledge and
method? Economists, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists,
and all other social scientists refer as a matter of course to mental
events and typically must assume some general outline of what those
mental events can be and how they can arise. They explore networks of
mental events in social systems and in social cognition. Given this
convergence of cognitive science and the social sciences at their
intellectual cores, and the increasing body of research activity at their
intersection, the Cognitive Science Network provides an eJournal to track
and distribute new and classic research in the emerging field of
cognitive social science.<br><br>
