"This book completes Margaret Archer's trilogy investigating the role of reflexivity
in mediating between structure and agency. What do young people want from life? Using
analysis of family experiences and life histories, her argument respects the properties
and powers of both structures and agents and presents the 'internal conversation'
as the site of their interplay. In unpacking what 'social conditioning' means, Archer
demonstrates the usefulness of 'relational realism'. She advances a new theory of
relational socialisation, appropriate to the 'mixed messages' conveyed in families
that are rarely normatively consensual and thus cannot provide clear guidelines for
action. Life-histories are analysed to explain the making and breaking of the various
modes of reflexivity. Different modalities have been dominant from early societies
to the present and the author argues that modernity is slowly ceding place to a 'morphogenetic
society' as meta-reflexivity now begins to predominate, at least amongst educated
young people"-- ; "This book completes Margaret Archer's trilogy investigating the
