« More than a state of mind : the temporal unfolding of cooperative action
Abstract
I build on the critique of the notion of collective intentionality (or “we-intentions”) presented in The Anthropology of Intentions (Duranti 2015) and on the analysis of ritual glitches provided in Throop and Duranti (2016) to offer a view of cooperative action that goes beyond the mental model provided by analytic philosophers and cognitive scientists (e.g., Tuomela 1984 ; Tuomela and Miller 1985 ; Gilbert 1990 ; Searle 1990 ; Bratman 1993). By integrating a phenomenological approach to temporally unfolding collective activities with methods and concepts developed by anthropologists and sociologists interested in the details of human interaction, I analyze a number of video recorded cases of spontaneous activities that have often been mentioned as primary examples of collective intentionality : moving a piano together, making a toast, and playing a tune with a band. I argue that when “things go wrong” and participants’ actions require adjustments and “repairs” we become aware of some taken-for-granted properties of cooperative action and the importance of the often ignored or hidden dimensions of temporality, embodiment, ethics, and improvisation.
