Abstract

Real estate plays an essential part in various sociological theories of political economy, state capacity, racecraft, stratification, and urbanization. However, since foundational insights about the novelty of commodified, emplaced private property from theorists like Du Bois and Polanyi, these disparate threads have not been tied together into a coherent field of study. Here, we review three areas of recent scholarship relevant to understanding real estate—the political economy of place, property rights, and financialization—in order to draw out key insights from each. Overall, the political-economic and socio-legal aspects of real estate have been well-studied, but contemporary research has been limited by its parochialism. We argue that for a sociology of real estate to move forward, it must take a broader, more relational perspective; must become more international; and must confront the climate crisis—and that Polanyi's and Du Bois's contributions can be effectively mobilized toward these ends. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Sociology, Volume 50 is July 2024. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

房地产社会学》：波兰尼、杜波依斯与气候变化未来中商品化土地的关系研究

房地产在政治经济学、国家能力、种族、分层和城市化等各种社会学理论中扮演着重要角色。然而，自从杜波依斯（Du Bois）和波兰尼（Polanyi）等理论家对商品化、地方化的私有财产的新颖性提出基础性见解以来，这些互不相关的线索一直没有被串联成一个连贯的研究领域。在此，我们回顾了近期与理解房地产相关的三个学术领域--地方政治经济学、产权和金融化，以从中汲取关键的见解。总体而言，房地产的政治经济和社会法律方面已经得到了很好的研究，但当代研究因其狭隘性而受到限制。我们认为，房地产社会学要想向前发展，就必须采取更广泛、更具关系性的视角；必须变得更加国际化；必须直面气候危机--而波兰尼和杜波依斯的贡献可以有效地促进这些目标的实现。社会学年刊》第 50 卷的最终在线出版日期预计为 2024 年 7 月。修订后的预计日期请参见 http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
