Structuration
Details
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The theory of structuration, proposed by Anthony Giddens (1984) in The Constitution of Society (mentioned also in Central Problems of Social Theory, 1979), is an attempt to reconcile theoretical dichotomies of social systems such as agency/structure, subjective/objective, and micro/macro perspectives. The approach does not focus on the individual actor or societal totality "but social practices ordered across space and time". Its proponents adopt this balanced position, attempting to treat influences of structure (which inherently includes culture) and agency equally.
