| 内容記述 | Many have convincingly argued that the self, rather than an acultural, essentialist entity, is locally constituted from a matrix of age, class, gender, occupation, politics, and other variables. However, there still seems to be an implicit notion that willing, deciding, choosing, wishing ―― i.e., volitional acts ―― originate from an essentialist, asocial “executive ego.” I offer the question: is decision-making ability itself a social construct? If so, how is our sense of agency built by society? I propose that: (1) there are no essentialist, indissoluble selves; (2) society does not merely “influence” but builds selves; (3) as a social construction, selves were invented sometime in history; and (4) therefore it is possible to be a person without a self. I offer suggestions for how personal decision-making capabilities and volition are socially grounded in mental models of agency. In short, I discuss how overt, public power exchanges become covert, private intentions; how social relations construct psychological events; how “society is in the self.” I start my line of reasoning with three basic propositions, and then marshal evidence to support these statements and my main contention, which is that without a learned agency-model of some sort, we would not be persons with volition. I do not rely on data about culturally specific and local understandings of self, but rather, adopt a more extensive approach and assume that there are cross-cultural parameters that frame ―― though only in the most general way ―― mental models of self in all current societies. Then in order to delineate these cross-cultural parameters and to glean clues about how “society becomes subjectivity,” I examine two varieties of sociopsychological experience, namely spirit possession and hypnosis, that question our assumptions about agency. | |||||||||
