How do we reflect upon ourselves and our concerns in relation to
society, and vice versa? Human reflexivity works through 'internal
conversations' using language, but also emotions, sensations and
images. Most people acknowledge this 'inner-dialogue' and can
report upon it. However, little research has been conducted on
'internal conversations' and how they mediate between our ultimate
concerns and the social contexts we confront. In this book,
Margaret Archer argues that reflexivity is progressively replacing
routine action in late modernity, shaping how ordinary people make
their way through the world. Using interviewees' life and work
histories, she shows how 'internal conversations' guide the
occupations people seek, keep or quit; their stances towards
structural constraints and enablements; and their resulting
patterns of social mobility.
