This book portrays one day in the communicative life of the owner
of an auto repair-shop in Texas. He walks, looks, points, shows and
explains engines, makes sense by gesture, speaks, manages, makes
his life-world, and in the process reproduces social structures and
himself as individual. Self-Making Man is the first comprehensive
study of a communicating person; it reveals socially shared and
personal practices, as well as improvisational actions by which a
person inhabits and makes sense of the world with others. After
decades of discussion on embodiment, this study is the first to
investigate one body in its full range of communicative activities.
Grounded in phenomenology and committed to the methodological rigor
of context analysis and conversation analysis, Self-Making Man
departs radically from contemporary research practice: it shows
that, to take embodiment in human interaction seriously, we must
conceive of it as individuation and organic, self-sustaining life:
as autopoeisis.
