  • Performing Arts and Affordances

    Open AccessCamille Zimmermann, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2025Cited by: 1References: 26

    We suggest that performing arts help us to understand how to use embodied experience and agency to resist and transform oppressive social practices and environments. We draw from dance studies, 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, and enactive) cognition, and feminist epistemology to reveal connections between performing arts, embodied knowing, and epistemic and social justice. Epistemic injustice consists in being unduly undermined in one's capacit…

  • Communication as Socially Extended Active Inference

    Rémi Tison, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEEcological Psychology2021

    In this paper, we introduce an ecological account of communication according to which acts of communication are active inferences achieved by affecting the behavior of a target organism via the modification of its field of affordances. Constraining a target organism’s behavior constitutes a mechanism of socially extended active inference, allowing organisms to proactively regulate their inner states through the behavior of other organisms. In thi…

  • A framework for thinking about distributed cognition

    Paul Poirier, Pierre Poirier et al.ARTICLEPragmatics & Cognition2006

    As is often the case when scientific or engineering fields emerge, new concepts are forged or old ones are adapted. When this happens, various arguments rage over what ultimately turns out to be conceptual misunderstandings. At that critical time, there is a need for an explicit reflection on the meaning of the concepts that define the field. In this position paper, we aim to provide a reasoned framework in which to think about various issues in …

  • Psychologie évolutionniste et théories interdomaines

    Open AccessLuc Faucher, Paul Poirier et al.ARTICLEDialogue2001References: 51

    Evolutionary psychology presupposes relations between theories of different domains that the two traditional models, reduction and autonomy, cannot properly account for. We aim to construct a model of relations between theories that succeeds where traditional models fail. We show that the multiple realizability argument, on which the autonomist model is thought to rest, is compatible with reductionism and, following Kim, that an autonomist readin…
