Summary
Cultural cognition is figurative, metaphorical, analogical, and participatory in nature.

These processes map or encode spatial cognition and relative cultural aspects dwelling in people’s minds onto new lands through daily human activities and physically spatial constitutions when people move. Therefore, analyzing spatial constructions of a social group during migration processes is a way to present metaphoric conceptualization processes and conceptual. It would then be possible to identify social groups and their cultural continuities and fluidities during historic processes and movements
