【内容提要】既有互动理论多聚焦于人类主体之间的关系，忽略了让互动初始阶段得以可能的物质维度。本文主张，在现代社会，互动准入身份是由物所建立的，日常互动的开端始于“身份物”。“身份物”是一种物质实体，其通过主体定置、信息简化与复杂化、人称区分等环节，将人转译进互动关系中。此外，依据身体—社会和制度—文化两条轴线，可将身份物划分为不同类型，并揭示出不同的具体转译方式。身份物理论不仅为后续有关社会互动物质维度的经验研究提供了理论基础，也揭示了现代社会中存在的一种道德困境，即对主体身份的辨识正日益呈现“认物不认人”的趋势。

Identity Objects: Entry and Identity Translation in Modern Social Interaction

Abstract: Prevailing theories of interaction have predominantly concentrated on relations among human subjects, overlooking the material dimensions that render the initiation of interaction possible. This paper argues that in modem society, access to interaction is established by objects. The beginning of everyday interaction originates from "identity objects". An "identity object" is a material entity that translates individuals into interactive relationships through processes such as subject positioning, information simplification and complexification, and personal differentiation. Furthermore,based on the axes of body-society and institution-culture, identity objects can be classified into various types, revealing distinct specific translation methods. The theory of identity objects not only offers a theoretical foundation for subsequent empirical studies on the material dimensions of social interaction, but also reveals a moral dilemma in modern society: the identification of subject identity is increasingly trending toward "recognizing objects rather than humans".
