Agent, person, subject, self : a theory of ontology, interaction, and infrastructure
Kockelman, PaulAuthor
Oxford : Oxford University Press,
2013.
This text offers both a naturalistic and critical theory of signs, minds, and meaning-in-the-world. It provides a reconstructive rather than deconstructive theory of the individual, one which both analytically separates and theoretically synthesizes a range of faculties that are often confused and conflated: agency, subjectivity, selfhood, and personhood.
