Institutions and Actorhood as Co‐Constitutive and Co‐Constructed: The Argument and Areas for Future Research
主张制度与行动者在沟通过程中相互构成与建构，以克服制度理论中的还原论和本质主义，并指出未来研究应关注制度的多模态性、现代沟通的媒介化特征以及社会秩序的争议性。
Abstract We argue that in order to overcome the reductionism and essentialism in institutional theory there is a need to acknowledge that institutions and social actors are co‐constitutive and co‐constructed in processes of communication. We elaborate this argument by drawing on the phenomenological foundation of institutional theory and point to promising areas of future research: the multimodal nature of institutions, the mediated and mediatized character of modern communication, and the contestedness of all social orders and their legitimation.
