Document Summary

Boundaries and entities: social entities come into life when social actors tie social boundaries together. Social entity: connecting local oppositions and differences into a single unit that has a thingness, this thingness can be described as having a property of endurance, something that keeps occurring in the same way. The main property is endurance : yoking: connecting two or more proto-boundaries with one on each side that become defined as inside the same entity. What makes a historical event is the independent standing as a site of causation with consequences. Creating difficulty for theorizing social process because it tends to consider everything. Entity: ability to originate social causation to social action; go beyond from creating entity elsewhere. Scripting: phase in the construction of entities, putting action into that entity. Manifestation and management of historical change that has ruptured in lived experience. A rupture is considered as a break in historical time experience.
