This would be a good question to pose to James Wertsch, who uses the term
"agent-acting-with-mediational-means" as an irreducible unit of analysis.
Of course, this opens the debate on the individual/collective dimension
that Mike refers to.

For me, agentivity always conjures up intentionality, disposition and
significance, while subjectivity, a little like Bill says, is cloaked in a
more scientific/experimental robe.
