Davies - 1991 - The Concept of Agency A Feminist Poststructuralist Analysis

This article analyzes the concept of agency from a feminist poststructuralist perspective. It challenges traditional views of agency as something one possesses, arguing instead that agency is socially constructed and dependent on power relations. Agency is shaped by available subject positions in different discourses and is never fully free or autonomous but rather constrained and enabled in complex ways.
