后现代对个人能动性社会学概念的挑战攻击了其经验的实质性，而是用哲学抽象术语和转瞬即逝的媒体图像来传达能动性。与此相反，我们认为日常解释性实践利用从普通经验轮廓中汲取的资源，反射性地构建了能动性。在正式和非正式的不同环境中收集的叙事和民族志材料，说明了普通事物的持久特征——当地共有的意义、传记细节和物质对象——如何被用来生产具有可识别的实质性的多重自我。
The postmodern challenge to sociological notions of individual agency assails its experiential substantiality, conveying agency instead in philosophically abstract terms and fleeting media images. In opposition to this, we argue that everyday interpretive practive reflexively constructs agency, utilizing resources drawn from the ordinary contours of experience. Narrative and ethnographic material collected in diverse settings, both formal and informal, illustrate how enduring features of the ordinary—locally shared meanings, biographical particulars, and material objects—are used for the production of manifold selves with recognizable substantiality.
