The studies on cognition traditionally have conducted in the area of psychology, but they are recently conducted by interdisciplinary approach. As the result of interdisciplinary approach, the cognition is not limited by only approach of individual cognition and shows the change to cultural cognition paradigm by reflecting research outcomes of several studies. With various discussions of anthropology of evolution, activity theory, etc, Christoph Wulf's historical & cultural anthropologic research provides new approach for cultural cognition. Wulf treats existing anthropologic researches integrally and shows new sight of anthropology. Wulf suggests historical & cultural anthropologic research by combining theoretical outcomes of anthropology of evolution, philosophical anthropology of Germany, Annales school's historical anthropology of France (histoire des mentalites), cultural anthropological research outcomes of England and America, etc. Under the background of new anthropology, it suggests the model of cultural learning by combining concepts of corporality, mimesis, performativity, ritual, image, etc. His theory will be able to explain the cognition of modern people who are living in postmodern period as a theoretical model of cultural cognition.
