What is Agency Troubles: a Review of Isaac Reed’s Power in Modernity: Agency Relations and the Creative Destruction of the King’s Two Bodies (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2020) about?
Interpretation and Social Knowledge has left a mark in the cultural sociological discourse and the broader field of interpretative analysis. Thoroughly reviewed and discussed in symposia, the book has become a staple for teaching interpretative analysis and its core concept, "landscape of meaning," has entered the disciplinary usage. In the meantime, its author broke to new intellectual frontiers, publishing several high-profile articles on power and agency relations, often with an empirical focus on early state formation in the USA. Reed's new book, Power in Modernity, mainly draws upon these already published works and ties them together into a coherent framework, addressing some lacunas of its predecessor, namely, questions of materiality, body, and power. Power in Modernity can be read in many ways, as application and extension of Reed's methodological book on interpretation, as elaboration and demonstration of a novel theory of power, and finally, as reflection on modernity through the lenses of shifting imaginations of power. Reed's new book consists of three parts: the first, theoretical, section develops a theory of agency relations and power; the second, empirical, section
