GENDER OF EVERYDAY SPACE. FEMINIST-BASED COMMENTARY ON WITOLD WACHOWSKI’S DISTRIBUTED COGNITION. FROM HEURISTICS TO MECHANISMS [POZNANIE ROZPROSZONE. OD HEURYSTYK DO MECHANIZMÓW]

Summary/Abstract: This article reflects on the gender dimensions of space in response to Witold Wachowski’s Distributed Cognition. From Heuristics to Mechanisms [Poznanie rozproszone. Od heurystyk do mechanizmów]. Wachowski’s work belongs to the so-called “turn to space,” according to which we treat the environment as an integral part of culture, and culture as a cognitive process. By focusing on relevant examples, it illustrates how space, broadly understood, can shape and perpetuate gender stereotypes. It aims to inspire further, in-depth research on the relationship between gender and space (and, more broadly, on cognition and cognitive processes) in the framework of distributed cognition.
