Participant Objectivation
Speaking about oneself in third person?
Why is it so hard for people to subject oneself to the same kind of analysis which they purport to be subjecting the external world, other subject, other persons, other intersubjective interactions? Taking Foucault or Bourdieu seriously would demand penetrating the very core of the power/knowledge nexus and of course also subjecting the own activity to the same scrutiny. This would be the very least denominator for any serious act of reflexive sociological account of the epistemic process: What are the conditions of possibility of this account? What does it mean to be involved in constructing a theoretical account of practical and theoretical approaches?
