Abstract

CAETANO, Ana. For a sociological analysis of personal reflexivity. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2011, n.66, pp.157-174. ISSN 0873-6529.

The main goal of this paper is to present a theoretical proposal for the empirical analysis of personal reflexivity. Considering the challenges posed by the study of reflexivity, the contributions of different authors from sociology are discussed. A model for the analysis of the reflexive processes at the individual level is then proposed, based on the articulation between elements of critical realism and propositions from dispositionalist theory and structuration theory. This model distinguishes internal and external dimensions of action and it is structured around different levels of analysis.

Keywords : reflexivity; agency; internal conversation; structure.
