Abstract

This article develops an ecological framework for understanding collective action. This is contrasted with approaches familiar from the collective intentionality debate, which treat individuals (with collective intentions) as fundamental units of collective action. Instead, we turn to social ecological psychology and dynamical systems theory and argue that they provide a promising framework for understanding collectives as the central unit in collective action. However, we submit that these approaches do not yet appreciate enough the relevance of social identities for collective action. To analyze this aspect, we build on key insights from social identity theory and synthesize it with embodied and ecological accounts of perception and action. This results in the proposal of two new types of affordances. For an individual who enacts her “embodied social identity” of being a member of a particular collective, there can be what we call embodied social identity affordances. Moreover, when several individuals dynamically interact with each other against the background of their embodied social identities, this might lead to the emergence of a collective, which we understand as a dynamically constituted and ecologically situated perception-action system consisting of several individuals enacting relevant embodied social identity affordances. Building on previous work in social ecological psychology, we suggest that there can be genuine collective affordances, that is, affordances whose subject is not an individual, but a collective.

集体负担

摘要

本文为理解集体行动建立了一个生态框架。这与集体意图辩论中所熟悉的方法形成了鲜明的对比,后者将个人(具有集体意图)视为集体行动的基本单位。取而代之的是,我们转向社会生态心理学和动力系统理论,认为它们为理解集体作为集体行动的中心单元提供了一个有希望的框架。但是,我们认为,这些方法尚未充分认识到社会认同与集体行动的相关性。为了对此方面进行分析,我们基于社会认同理论的关键见解,并将其与感知和行动的体现和生态学描述相结合。因此,提出了两种新型的供款建议。体现社会身份的提供。此外,当几个人在其体现的社会身份的背景下彼此动态互动时,这可能会导致一个集体的出现,我们将其理解为一个动态构成且生态定位的感知-行动系统,该系统由几个人扮演相关的体现社会身份能力。在社会生态心理学以前的工作的基础上,我们建议可以有真正的集体支付能力,即对象不是个人而是集体的支付能力。
