| Note: | The first chapter of the sociology of the constitution of a society offers a model for the interrelationship of social structures and the agency of the people, who act on different levels of consciousness within structures and for transforming structures. The “stratification model of the action … involves treating the reflexive monitoring, rationalization and motivation of action as embedded sets of processes” (p. 3). Very generalised, agency is the reflexive monitoring capacity in the continuous process of action (p. 9), which happens within structures (“rules and resources”, p. 25) within a system (“reproduced relations between actors or collectives, organized as regular social practices”, p 25) and its “conditions governing the continuity or transmutation of structures” (p 25). The “conditions governing the continuity or transmutation of structures, and therefore the reproduction of the social systems” is covered be the term of structuration. |
