ABSTRACT
For as long as psychology and anthropology have existed as distinctive disciplines, there have been those who contested the institutionalised division of labour initiated by their founding (Jahoda, 1992). We understand the current interest in the work of F.C.Bartlett to reflect, in part, the fact that disciplinary boundaries separating the social-behavioural sciences are again being actively questioned, and Bartlett’s ideas provide sources of inspiration for those who would like to re-establish the unity between the individual, culture, and the social group that was torn asunder immediately preceding and following the turn of the 20th century.
