GWD 3-35急问！

  Historians who study European

       women of the Renaissance try to mea-

       sure “independence,” “options,” and

Line       other indicators of the degree to which

  (5)      the expression of women’s individuality

was either permitted or suppressed.

Influenced by Western individualism,

these historians define a peculiar form

of personhood:  an innately bounded

(10)      unit, autonomous and standing apart

from both nature and society.  An

anthropologist, however, would contend

that a person can be conceived in ways

other than as an “individual.”  In many

(15)      societies a person’s identity is not

intrinsically unique and self-contained

but instead is defined within a complex

web of social relationships.

      In her study of the fifteenth-century

(20)      Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

historian who specializes in European

women of the Renaissance attributes

individual intention and authorship of

       actions to her subject.  This historian

(25)      assumes that Alessandra had goals

and interests different from those of her

sons, yet much of the historian’s own

research reveals that Alessandra

acted primarily as a champion of her

(30)      sons’ interests, taking their goals as

her own.  Thus Alessandra conforms

more closely to the anthropologist’s

       notion that personal motivation is

embedded in a social context.  Indeed,

(35)      one could argue that Alessandra did

       not distinguish her personhood from

that of her sons.  In Renaissance

Europe the boundaries of the con-

ceptual self were not always firm

(40)      and closed and did not necessarily

coincide with the boundaries of

the bodily self.

看完这篇文章后很晕,结构都不清楚.请哪位大侠帮我理一下结构

第一段: 第一句就不懂. 然后historian给出了个概念:personhood。 然后however，anthropologis又给出了个概念。可能是全文第一句就不懂，不知道这些人要干什么，所以第二段要干什么不清楚，第二段中举的AS人的例子又不懂。真的郁闷了。
