1996 The Social Construction Of Ethnicity: Intuition, Authenticity, Authenticators. Paper presented in the Symposium on Culture as Distributed Cognition. American Anthropological Association Annual Meetings, 20 November 1996, San Francisco, California. This is a more extended treatment of Norway's Sami (and of US Jews) regarding how it becomes decided who is more or less "authentic"--how the politics and economics work re the semantics and re group membership. ca. 20 pages.

Collective Representations: a Distributed Cognition Perspective. Paper
presented at "Vive Durkheim !": An
Interdisciplinary Conference on Emile Durkheim and Religion.
1998 Formal Rules, Cognitive Representations,
and Learning in Language and Other Cultural Systems. Paper presented in
the Symposium on Cognitive Anthropology and Formal Linguistic Models: Their
Uses and Their Limitations. American Anthropological Annual Meetings,
November 1998. Why formal rules (a la Chomsky's grammar or
various anthropological characterizations of kinship terminological structures)
even if/when highly accurate as technical descriptions do NOT represent any
necessary theory (or direct description) of the cognitive operations that
produced the regularities being described.
