摘要

本文敦促研究者尊重不同类型实体的代理之间的差异，以及被理解为实体和事件组合的代理特征的“分布式代理”类型之间的差异。此外，与IS中对社会物质性的强烈态度相反，本文认为，人类作为整体的大多数纽带聚集了构成它们的实体和事件的不同机构。本文通过仔细整理代理的不同概念，并通过消除歧义和探索代理与实体和事件的组合相关联这一观点中包含的四个重要主张，来发展这些论点。对不同的代理概念的梳理也表明，代理就是因果关系，即因果关系的特定形式。总体结果是对代理概念作为人类语言名动结构反映的完整性的辩护。

Agency

This essay urges researchers to respect differences among the agencies of different kinds of entities as well as among types of “distributed agency” understood as the agentic character of combinations of entities and events. In opposition, moreover, to the strong approach to sociomateriality in IS, the essay holds that most nexuses to which human people are integral aggregate the different agencies of the entities and events that compose them. The essay develops these theses by carefully sorting out different conceptions of agency and by both disambiguating and exploring four prominent claims contained in the idea that agency is tied to combinations of entities and events. Sorting out different conceptions of agency also shows that agency is causality, that is, particular forms of causality. The overall result is a defense of the integrity of the concept of agency as a reflection of the noun-verb structure of human languages.
