This paper commends some ideas that Torill Christine Lindstrøm presented in this journal on the subject of ‘object agency’ (2015) and contends, against Tim Flohr Sørensen's reaction paper (2016), that object agency subsists on philosophically questionable premises. I argue that Sørensen relies on a definition of ‘agency’ which is too labile and virtually indistinguishable from ‘cause’. Moreover, certain premises that Sørensen supports lead to some contradictions with regard to social responsibility. Finally, I argue that object agency is part of a larger intellectual trend which perceives agency as a dynamic global force – and that a return to a more constrained understanding of agency would be of more benefit to archaeology.

反对对象代理。对 Sørensen 的“锤子和钉子”的反响

本文赞扬了 Torill Christine Lindstrøm 在本期刊中提出的关于“对象代理”(2015 年)主题的一些想法,并反对 Tim Flohr Sørensen 的反应论文(2016 年),认为对象代理存在于哲学上有问题的前提下。我认为 Sørensen 依赖于“代理”的定义,该定义过于不稳定,与“原因”几乎无法区分。此外,Sørensen 支持的某些前提导致了一些关于社会责任的矛盾。最后,我认为物体能动性是更大的知识趋势的一部分,这种趋势将能动性视为一种动态的全球力量——回归到对能动性的更受约束的理解将对考古学更有好处。
