(reprinted here from <i>Worlds Apart<\/i>) briefly introduce the<br \/>\nconcept of distributed cognition, which recognizes &quot;that &#8216;people appear to <i><br \/>\nthink in conjunction or partnership<\/i> with others and with the help of<br \/>\nculturally provided tools and implements&#8217;&quot; (199). The authors lead with a<br \/>\ncomparison of Hutchins&#8217; research on the complexly coordinated efforts involved<br \/>\nin navigating a ship; Dias et al. compare ship navigation to the work of<br \/>\nmanaging economic policy done by the Bank of Canada (BOC). A brief few pages of<br \/>\ntheorization (drawing on Lave, Hutchings and Engestrom) sets up a protracted<br \/>\nanalysis of the activities at the BOC. Unlike the ship, however, which is eased<br \/>\nby routines, the cognitive load for workers at the BOC requires &quot;extended pieces<br \/>\nof reasoning&quot; (201d). Their research focuses on genre, which seem to align with<br \/>\nMiller&#8217;s &quot;social action&quot; model: &quot;It is through complex webs of discursive<br \/>\ninteractions and, in particular, genres that the cognition of the BOC is<br \/>\naccomplished distributively&quot; (202). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Hutchings points out that the maps used in navigation look more like<br \/>\ncoordinate charts in geometry rather than like amps in an atlas; this is true as<br \/>\nwell of the mathematical models and graphs guiding the progress of the BOC&quot;<br \/>\n(200). This gets at the role of images, of maps, and the distinction between<br \/>\ngeometries and geographies (like Moretti). <\/p>\n<p>^See &quot;thought styles&quot;: &quot;the recurrence of certain lexical phrases (which<br \/>\nrepresent categories of experience) and argumentative warrants&quot; (203c). The idea<br \/>\nof recurrent and shared categories of experience rings of folksonomy somewhat.<br \/>\nFolksonomy, in this arrangement, becomes a feature of the organization and its<br \/>\ngenre-based activities, which include introducing &quot;alternative scenarios&quot; (203c)<br \/>\nand &quot;decision making&quot; (204b). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;It is a commonplace at the BOC that what is expected in writing (and in oral<br \/>\npresentations based on written analysis) is more than elevator economics: that<br \/>\nis, this went up and this went down. There must always be interpretation,<br \/>\nanalysis, comparison with forecasts, and possibly suggestions for revision to<br \/>\nthese forecasts&quot; (206d).<br \/>\n&quot;All in all, then, the BOC thinks and distributes its cognition through sets of<br \/>\ngenres, each with its expected form&quot; (207c).<br \/>\n&quot;Of particular interest to our work is the role of verbal discourse in the<br \/>\ndistribution of cognition&#8211;especially in the form of sets of interweaving genres<br \/>\nthat are not just the media and shaping agents for the interpretation but also<br \/>\nthe sites for both social sharing and communal creation as well as the sites for<br \/>\nidentifying and negotiating internal contradictions&quot; (208d).<\/p>\n<dl>\n<dt>Related sources<\/dt>\n<dd>Cole and Engestrom. 1993. &quot;A Socio-cultural approach to distributed<br \/>\n  cognition.
