content: Notions of agency and the paradoxical relations of personhood and agency constituted another thematic thread in Karp's work. This folder contains several versions of the bibliography that he kept on work relevant to this (and one file has labels for file folders for hard copies of the articles), various notes and jottings Karp made related to agency, and the introduction that he wrote with Michael Jackson for their edited book Personhood and Agency. Also included is an abstract for his paper "Agency, Agency, Who's Got the Agency?" presented at  the1995 AAA conference (session organized by Laura Ahearn) and several versions of a paper titled "Paradoxes of Structure and Agency." This is likely the same paper as "Agency, Agency, Who's Got the Agency?" – the first version of it is in a November 1995 file called "AGENCY2.PAP" which does not show a title. It is possible that that version was presented at the AAA conference and that Karp changed the title in subsequent versions.
