Abstract
George Ritzer (2010) recently conceptualized globalization in terms of liquidity and, especially, flows. This conceptualization is largely rooted in Zygmunt Bauman's theory of a world dominated by increasing liquidity. However, neither Bauman nor Ritzer put these ideas in the context of their intellectual genealogy. This essay seeks to do that by reviewing the surprisingly rich history of thought pertaining to these ideas, especially flows. Through this review we also hope to call attention to some long-debated philosophical questions that inform how a theory of flows (and structures) can be applied to our contemporary globalized world.
George Ritzer(2010)最近将全球化概念化为流动性，尤其是流动。这一概念在很大程度上植根于齐格蒙特·鲍曼(Zygmunt Bauman)关于流动性增加主宰世界的理论。然而，鲍曼和里策尔都没有把这些观点放在他们的知识谱系中。这篇文章试图通过回顾与这些思想有关的惊人的丰富的思想史来做到这一点，特别是流动。通过这篇综述，我们也希望引起人们对一些长期争论的哲学问题的关注，这些问题告诉我们如何将流动(和结构)理论应用于我们当代全球化的世界。
期刊介绍：
Current Perspectives in Social Theory presents essays on major issues in contemporary theoretical sociology, providing both critical overviews of major debates and original contributions by specialists working in social theory, sociological theory, and critical theory. While the series presents a forum for a wide range of theoretical issues in sociology and related disciplines, each volume collects contributions that share a common orientation, theme or challenge. Authors are encouraged to address and assess the continuing relevance of classical and twentieth-century contributions to social theory, as individual societies as well as human civilization continue to undergo changes at an accelerating pace.
