Cultural Constraints: an approach to the transmission of unconscious cultural information
ILCLI Open Seminar
Over the last decades, when offering a characterization of culture, naturalistic explanations have used paradigmatic examples of cultural items that are explicit, like recipes, artifacts, ideas, beliefs, and tales. However, it is important to acknowledge that not all cultural items are explicit. Some are unconscious to us, like grammar, know-hows or implicit norms. Although naturalistic explanations of culture acknowledge the presence of implicit cultural items, there is a gap in explaining the mechanisms underpinning the unconscious transmission of cultural information. In this talk, I will introduce the concepts of "cultural constraints" and "attunement to constraints" as possible candidates for explaining the transmission of unconscious cultural information.

The research group on Language, Action, and Thought ---at the Institute of Logic, Cognition, Language and Information (ILCLI)--- mostly focuses on the Philosophy of Language and Mind as well as on the Philosophy of Action. Most of its members are philosophers but it also includes linguists, psychologists and logicians.
An important part of our research has evolved around Critical Pragmatics, a theory created and developed by some of us, with applications to the study of linguistic communication, and important assumptions and implications about thought and action.
During the last decade, we have received several grants from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Basque Government and the Government of Spain.
Address: ILCLI. UPV/EHU. Carlos Santamaria Zentroa.
