The production and consumption of art is an embodied practice, firmly based in perception and action, and supported by features of the local, agent-centered and global, socio-cultural contexts.

That embodiment implies embeddedness is an insight from ecology: A physical body will always exist in a surrounding context (cf. Gibson 1979). Since cognition is embodied, it is as well embedded, which means that any type of cognitive process is adapted to and depends on the setting in which it occurs.

In line with this, TSC disagrees with theories that model cognition on conscious reasoning, as reflecting the ways thought processes are conceptu- alised in language. Instead, TSC states that cognition is ‘active’ in the sense that cognitive processes emerge in concrete situations of physical action and socio-cultural practices.

While only lasting twenty minutes on average, fam- ily mealtimes are embedded in a social, cultural and eco- nomic context.

The reports from which we draw include diversity in family structure, ethnicity, and socio-economic context.
