    Call Deadline: 31 Dec 2004

    CALL FOR PAPERS

    First special issue in the series Cognition and Technology: New Technologies and the Pragmatics of Cognition

    Editors: Marcelo Dascal and Itiel Dror

    For full details, see: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~id/technologySI1.html

    Unlike the Cartesian mind, whose cognitive activity was allegedly performed in isolation from the external world, today it is widely acknowledged that cognition is intertwined in the external context and extremely sensitive to it. In this sense, it is typically a pragmatic phenomenon. It is also widely recognized today that the technological environment became a major component of the context within which cognition occurs. Technology's interaction with cognition is so extensive that it perhaps changes the nature of cognition itself.

    This first of a series of special issues of Pragmatics & Cognition devoted to the relationships between technologies and cognition will explore the role of technology, particularly of the new cognition-related technologies, as an important factor to be taken into account in the pragmatics of cognition. We are calling for papers analyzing specific examples of such a role as well as discussing the broader implications of the pace and nature of technological innovation to the evolution of cognition. Whereas the following special issues will be each focused on a special kind of technology and/or cognitive process, this opening issue welcomes contributions dealing with the cognition-technology interface in any area. It also encourages submissions discussing the scientific, technological, philosophical, and human significance of the coming together of cognition and technology.

    Deadline for submissions: 31 December 2004
