| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
Rather than accept contemporary patterns of individuality as natural and universal, sociologists need to problematize such patterns, and deconstruct the processes through which specific forms of individuality emerge. Particular forms of human individuality and subjectivity are historically constructed, as human beings experience and engage in social practices and relations. In societies such as ours, individuation is central to the constitution of human subjects. I conceptualize individuation as a process through which human beings become objectively knowable to others through distinctive biographies and personal characteristics, and subjectively known to themselves through habituated patterns of consciousness and practice..
