Notes
These arguments are connected to Giddens' (Citation1979, Citation1984) structuration theory in which there is a dual relationship between the agents (actors) of society and the structures (social networks and norms) in which they participate. See Westlund and Nilsson Citation(2005) for a more developed discussion.
