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.
