Is navigation a way of observation? Use different technologies and methods to determine their own position in the time-space relationship, the history of navigation, that is, a history of observation.
Cognition in the WILD is Edwin Hutchins' work on cognitive science. He combines the background of anthropologists, oceangoing sailing sailors and navigators, and combines anthropological methods with cognitive theory, thus putting forward a new interpretation of cognitive science. His theoretical insight is based on his expanded analysis of navigation, including computational basis, historical roots, social organization relationships, and implementation details of navigation practices of large ships. In the activities of cultural composition outside the laboratory (i.e. "in the wilderness"), this interpretation forms a distinctive interdisciplinary cognitive research.
This workshop will lead you to read Chapters 1 and 2 of Cognition in the Wilderness on the "Yuanwang 1" (space survey ship), discuss the author's comparison of modern western navigation (US Navy) and Micronesian Islands navigation practices in the paper, and try to practice various eastern and western navigation instruments and charts, so as to arouse the ecological significance of thinking through different marine navigation practice texts. In this sense, human cognition, as a computing system, interacts with the environment with rich organizational resources, triggering metaphors for marine thinking and the uniqueness of marine Asia.
导航是一种观察之道吗？使用不同的科技和方法来确定自身在时间空间关系中的位置，导航的历史，即一种观察的历史。
《荒野中的认知（Cognition in the WILD）》是埃德温·哈钦斯的认知科学著作，他结合了人类学家、远洋竞技帆船水手和导航员的背景，将人类学方法与认知理论相结合，从而对认知科学提出了一种新的解读。他的理论性洞悉是以其对航海导航的扩展分析为基础的，包括计算基础、历史根源、社会组织关系以及大型船只导航实践的执行细节。在实验室之外的文化构成活动（即“荒野中”）中，该解读形成了一种与众不同的跨学科的认知研究。
本次工作坊将在“远望1”号（航天测量船）上带领大家阅读《荒野中的认知（Cognition in the WILD）》的第1、2章节，讨论作者在文中对现代西方导航（美国海军）和密克罗西亚群岛导航实践进行的比较，并尝试实践东西方各种导航仪器与海图，通过不同的海洋导航实践文本唤起思维的生态学意义。在这个意义上，作为计算系统的人类认知与有丰富组织资源的环境发生交互作用，引发对海洋性思维和海洋亚洲独特性的隐喻。
The mission of the Yuanwang 1 space survey ship is to take charge of the reentry phase measurement of the long-range rocket flight test; Undertake the whole process test of submarine launching missile from water to impact point; It is responsible for the tracking, observation, telemetering and remote control of artificial satellites and spacecraft, and serves as an active observation station in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In 1965, Premier Zhou Enlai chaired a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and put forward and studied the proposal to build an aerospace survey ship. On August 31, 1977, Yuanwang 1 was launched successfully at Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard. On April 24, 1980, Yuanwang 1, together with 17 other ships, made its first expedition to the South Pacific to participate in the launch mission of a world-famous carrier rocket. After successfully completing the 32 year maritime scientific research mission, the ship was officially retired. On October 22, 2010, it was presented to Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. by China Satellite Maritime Measurement and Control Department. At about 15:00 on November 26, 2011, the ship successfully entered Dock 2, the original site of Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard (on the west bank of Huangpu River, near the World Expo Museum).
“远望1”号航天测量船的任务是担负远程火箭全程飞行试验的再入段测量；担负潜艇水下发射导弹出水至落点的全程试验；担负人造卫星和宇宙飞船的跟踪、观测、遥测和遥控，并作为长江下游的活动观测站。1965年，周恩来总理主持召开中央常委会议，提出并研究了建造航天测量船的建议。1977年8月31日“远望1”号在上海江南造船厂胜利下水。1980年4月24日，“远望1”号会同其他17艘舰船，首次远征南太平洋，参加举世瞩目的运载火箭发射任务。在圆满完成32年的海上科研任务后，该船正式退役。2010年10月22日，被中国卫星海上测控部赠予江南造船（集团）有限责任公司。2011年11月26日15时许，该船成功驶入上海江南造船厂原址2号船坞（黄浦江西岸，近世博会博物馆）。
