Which theory is regarded as a summary of Giddens' sociological writing ?
Answer: A
The theory is structuration.
Anthony Giddens developed structuration theory through the 1970s and set it out fully in The Constitution of Society (1984). It draws together his work on classical theory, agency and structure, time and space and social reproduction, and is widely regarded as the summary of his sociological writing.
Structuralism, from Saussure and Levi-Strauss, is a tradition Giddens criticised. Deconstruction is Derrida's method, and post-modernism is a position Giddens rejected, arguing that we live in 'high' or 'late' modernity rather than a post-modern age.
