All Roads Lead to Polenta: Cultural Attractors at the Junction of Public and Personal Culture

چکیده
In the process of retelling information, individuals often inadvertently transform it to be more consistent with their cultural schemas. We explore long-term change inherent in this process, focusing on utterances about tastes as our case study (e.g., music, food, and outdoor hobbies). use a word embedding model simulate “telephone game” where each actor partially hears an utterance, uses schemas guess missing word, tells result next actor. While laboratory games” short transmission chains approximately four steps, approach lets us these out 1000 steps. find that are pulled toward powerful “cultural attractors”—essentially points least resistance communications end up through error alone. Moreover, some attractors operate across taste domains: gravitate regardless which domain they begin in. The most such attractor we located concerns high-status, broadly liked food. Taste food may thus have underappreciated centrality within personal taste: verbal accounts describing particularly stable multiple retellings, while other domains become transformed into

Legendary mathematician Paul Erdos liked to talk about the perfect proofs of mathematical theorems maintained by God. In [1], six different proofs are given to the infinity of prime numbers. Unlike mathematical proofs which are mentally reproducible objects, signal processing researchers can have an intimate discussion with God by creating computational algorithms which are experimentally repro...

During malignant transformation, cancer cells acquire genetic alterations that surmount the normal controls regulating proliferation and cell survival. High-resolution comparative genomic analyses reveal that genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer development and that cancer-causing mutations are only a tiny fraction of the genetic modifications, most of which are “bystander” mutations. Th...

the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...
