Abstract

As field change is often explained by recourse to agentic efforts of a few or revolutionary turbulence of many, this paper provides a complementary explanation of change grounded in the quotidian dynamics of physical objects and settings. Using the culinary and mountaineering fields, we demonstrate how attending to the materiality of objects and settings offers analytical leverage into the ways fields conflict and change. More specifically, we argue field instability is normal because, at the level of social action, mass and energy are inherently finite. As a result, actors responding to effects from distal fields may nevertheless collide over the objects and settings in which they are compelled to act.

社会领域的物质性与变化
人们通常通过少数人的努力或多数人的革命性动荡来解释领域的变化,而本文则以实物和环境的日常动态为基础,对变化做出了补充性解释。通过烹饪和登山领域,我们展示了关注对象和环境的物质性如何为领域冲突和变化的方式提供分析杠杆。更具体地说,我们认为领域的不稳定性是正常的,因为在社会行动层面,质量和能量本身就是有限的。因此,行动者在对来自远场的影响做出反应时,可能会与他们被迫采取行动的对象和环境发生碰撞。

期刊介绍: The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
