Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does ?structure? (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the ?agency? of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals?
