The Culture Concept as Theory, in Context
This essay presents anthropologys culture concept (hereafter culture) asformally, precisely, definablya scientific theory. Representing new knowledge, an emerging theory challenges, reconfigures, existing knowledge. It has a starting place, a context. To advance anthropologys idea of culture as theory is to place it in time, in relation to ideas it reconfigures or replaces. So situated, culture is seen to replace the existing theory of human orde…
Anthropological Knowledge and Native American Cultural Practice in the Liberal Polity

Providing the conceptual foundation for liberal polities, it largely underwrote U.S. Indian policy into the mid-20th century. Liberal theory recently has been superceded, as theory, by anthropological culture theory, which better accounts for variations between peoples an…

Commentary
Implicit Models of Social Knowledge Use
Many studies tacitly view social knowledge use as a transaction between knowledge producers (social scientists) and decision makers (bureaucratic managers, judges), thus framing analysis within an implicit bipolar model of use.

This is the question of how to bridge levels of systemic organization. This paper provides a solution to the problem via a consideration of the constraints placed on this process by one neuroanthropo…
