PDF-(BOOK)-Reckonings: Numerals, Cognition, and History

Insights from the history of numerical notation suggest that how humans write numbers is an active choice involving cognitive and social factorsOver the past 5000 years more than 100 methods of numerical notationdistinct ways of writing numbershave been developed and used by specific communities Most of these are barely known today where they are known they are often derided as cognitively cumbersome and outdated In Reckonings Stephen Chrisomalis considers how humans past and present use numerals reinterpreting historical and archaeological representations of numerical notation and exploring the implications of why we write numbers with figures rather than wordsChrisomalis shows that numeration is a social practice He argues that written numerals are conceptual tools that are transformed to fit the perceived needs of their users and that the sorts of cognitive processes that affect decisionmaking around numerical activity are complex and involve social factors Drawing on the triple meaning of reckonto think to calculate and to judgeas a framing device Chrisomalis argues that the history of numeral systems is best considered as a cognitive history of language writing mathematics and technologyChrisomalis offers seven interlinked essays that are both macrohistorical and crosscultural with a particular focus throughout on Roman numerals Countering the common narrative that Roman numerals are archaic and clumsy Chrisomalis presents examples of Roman numeral use in classical medieval and early modern contexts Readers will think more deeply about written numbers as a cognitive technology that each of us uses every single day and will question the assumption that whatever happened historically was destined to have happened leading inevitably to the present.

Vivid narratives, fresh insights, and new theories on where gender theory and research stand today Since scholars began interrogating the meaning of gender and sexuality in society, this field has become essential to the study of sociology. Gender Reckonings aims to map new directions for understanding gender and sexuality within a more pragmatic, dynamic, and socially relevant framework. It shows how gender relations must be understood on a large scale as well as in intimate detail. The contributors return to the basics, questioning how gender patterns change, how we can realize gender equality, and how the structures of gender impact daily life. Gender Reckonings covers not only foundational concepts of gender relations and gender justice, but also explores postcolonial patterns of gender, intersectionality, gender fluidity, transgender practices, neoliberalism, and queer theory. Gender Reckonings combines the insights of gender and sexuality scholars from different generations, fields, and world regions. The editors and contributors are leading social scientists from six continents, and the book gives vivid accounts of the changing politics of gender in different communities. Rich in empirical detail and novel thinking, Gender Reckonings is a lasting resource for students, researchers, activists, policymakers, and everyone concerned with gender justice.
