Session Type: Oral


The purpose of my session is to discuss the transformation of reflexivity, to study reflexivity from various points of view and to study application of reflexivity to many fields.
Reflexivity is the concept of reflecting on oneself in the presence of others, and changing oneself in relation to others. By repeating this process, the agent changes who he/she is.
Scott Lash and John Urry criticize the reflexive modernization theory of Urlich Beck and Anthony Giddens, as they presuppose that reflexivity is cognitive and institutional. Lash draws attention to the aesthetic dimension of reflexivity over the cognitive. He insists capitalism opens up possibilities for, not only cognitive but also, aesthetic reflexivity. He also discusses hermeneutic reflexivity.
In addition, I suggest that new reflexivities can be born and transform in and through markets, which I call market reflexivity. I also suggest media reflexivity that can be born and transform in and through media.
In this session,I would like to discuss aesthetic reflexivity, hermeneutic reflexivity, market reflexivity, media reflexivity and other reflexivities including these application in order to predict its future affects of our society.
