Echoes of Agency: Mexican Existentialism and Ecological Agency

Professor Manuel Vargas (UC San Diego)

Professor Vargas discusses the cultural specificity of agency as theorized in the work of mid-20th century Mexican existentialism. Is human agency purely a matter of individual will and desire? Or is agency sustained and constrained by the particular arrangements of institutions and norms of an agent's context?
