Following Mills, several prominent sociologists have encouraged researchers to analyze actors’ motive talk not as data on the subjective desires that move them to pursue particular ends but as post hoc accounts oriented toward justifying actions already undertaken. Combining insights from hermeneutic theories of the self and pragmatist theories of action, we develop a theoretical position that challenges dichotomous assumptions about whether motive accounts reflect either justifications or motivations for action, instead illustrating how they can migrate from one status to the other over time. We develop this perspective through a comparative analysis of actors’ involvements in two quite different careers of social action—religion and mixed martial arts—documenting both how and when justificatory talk about actors’ motives for initiating a course of action at one point in time became formative of their subjective motivations for sustaining these same courses of action at another.
继米尔斯之后,几位著名社会学家鼓励研究人员分析演员的动机谈话,而不是将其作为促使他们追求特定目的的主观欲望的数据,而是作为旨在证明已经采取的行动的事后陈述。结合自我解释学理论和实用主义行动理论的见解,我们提出了一个理论立场,挑战关于动机账户是否反映了行动的正当性或动机的二分法假设,而不是说明它们如何随着时间的推移从一种状态迁移到另一种状态。我们通过对演员参与两种截然不同的社会行动职业(宗教和混合武术)的比较分析来发展这一观点,记录了正当地谈论演员在某个时间点发起行动的动机是如何以及何时形成他们在另一个

The High-hanging Fruit of the Gender Revolution: A Model of Social Reproduction and Social Change 性别革命的高悬果实:社会再生产与社会变革的典范

This article proposes an abstract sociological model of stable patriarchal social relations and feminist social change. I describe a patriarchal equilibrium of gender inequality and propose an approach for thinking about how various kinds of interventions can short-circuit the system, pushing it onto a new equilibrium path. In particular, I focus on possible interventions into parental leave policy, describing their social structural and cultural ramifications as well as a range of objections to them. However, more important than the specific interventions proposed is the general model itself, which depicts reinforcing structures of patriarchal culture, gender inequality in labor markets, and gender inequality in the home—and moreover, how this model can evolve. It describes a feedback loop that can lock structures of gender inequality in place but also provides a means for considering the spaces available to both blunt the social reproduction of gender inequality and reinforce “genderless” social relations.
本文提出了一个关于稳定的父权社会关系和女权主义社会变革的抽象社会学模型。我描述了性别不平等的父权制平衡,并提出了一种方法来思考各种干预措施如何缩短系统,将其推向一条新的平衡道路。我特别关注对育儿假政策的可能干预,描述其社会结构和文化影响,以及对这些政策的一系列反对意见。然而,比提出的具体干预措施更重要的是一般模型本身,它描述了父权文化的强化结构、劳动力市场的性别不平等和家庭中的性别不公平,以及这种模型如何演变。它描述了一个反馈回路,可以将性别不平等的结构锁定在适当的位置,但也提供了一种考虑空间的方法,既可以削弱性别不平等在社会中的再现,又可以加强“无性别”的社会关系。

Towards a Dynamic Theory of Civil Society: The Politics of Forward and Backward Infiltration 走向公民社会的动态理论:前后渗透政治

This article develops a conceptual framework to theorize the processes of mutual penetration between civil society, the state, and the economy, where incumbents and challengers continuously formulate new strategies against each other. We criticize the prevailing Weberian and Tocquevillian concepts of civil society, and then, drawing on research in social movements and comparative political economy, propose a new framework: the politics of forward and backward infiltration. Under each form of infiltration, we delineate three submodes: the politics of influence, the politics of substitution, and the politics of occupation, which correspond to strategies for discursive influence, functional replacement, and institutional takeover, respectively. We challenge the exclusive focus on the politics of influence as inadequate for analyzing these processes, while highlighting the other two modes as necessary additions. Finally, we elucidate the implications of our theory of forward and backward infiltration for the study of civil society and participatory democracy more generally.
本文提出了一个概念框架,将公民社会、国家和经济之间的相互渗透过程理论化,在位者和挑战者不断制定新的战略来对抗对方。我们批判了当时盛行的韦伯和托克维尔的公民社会观,然后借鉴社会运动和比较政治经济学的研究,提出了一个新的框架:前后渗透的政治。在每种渗透形式下,我们都划分出三个子模式:影响力政治、替代政治和占领政治,分别对应于话语影响力策略、功能替代策略和制度接管策略。我们质疑只关注影响力政治不足以分析这些过程,同时强调其他两种模式是必要的补充。最后,我们阐明了我们的前向和后向渗透理论对更广泛地研究公民社会和参与民主的启示。

Racial Ideology or Racial Ignorance? An Alternative Theory of Racial Cognition 种族意识形态还是种族无知?另一种种族认知理论

Directing attention to racial ignorance as a core dimension of racialized social systems, this article advances a process-focused Theory of Racial Ignorance (TRI), grounded in Critical Race Theory and the philosophical construct white ignorance. TRI embodies five tenets—epistemology of ignorance, ignorance as ends-based technology, corporate white agency, centrality of praxis, and interest convergence. TRI’s tenets explain how racial ignorance reinforces white domination, attending to mechanisms of white knowledge evasion and resistance that facilitate racial reproduction—in everyday life, through institutions, and across societies more broadly. I illustrate TRI’s assets by comparison to an extant theory of racial cognition—color-blind theory (CBT). I argue TRI generates returns by shifting from racial ideology to racial ignorance, and from era-defined structures to ongoing historical processes; and demonstrate TRI’s unique capacity to explain and predict changes in dominant logics, supporting more strategic resistance.
本文以批判种族理论和白人无知的哲学建构为基础,提出了一种以过程为中心的种族无知理论(TRI),将种族无知作为种族化社会系统的核心维度。TRI包含五个原则:无知认识论、作为目的的无知技术、企业白色代理、实践中心性和利益趋同。TRI的原则解释了种族无知是如何强化白人统治的,关注白人逃避知识和抵抗的机制,这些机制促进了种族繁殖——在日常生活中,通过制度,在更广泛的社会中。我通过与现存的种族认知理论——色盲理论(CBT)的比较来说明TRI的优点。我认为TRI通过从种族意识形态转向种族无知,从时代定义的结构转向正在进行的历史进程来产生回报;并展示了TRI解释和预测主导逻辑变化的独特能力,支持更多的战略抵抗。

Living One’s Theories: Moral Consistency in the Life of Émile Durkheim 活的理论:涂尔干生命中的道德一致性
IF 4.4 1区 社会学 Pub Date : 2019-03-01 DOI: 10.1177/0735275119830444

This article investigates the relation between a theorist’s theories and his daily life practices, using Émile Durkheim as an example. That theory and practice should be consistent seems not only scientifically proper but also morally right. Yet the concept of consistency conceals several different standards: consistency with one’s own theoretical arguments, consistency with outsiders’ judgments of oneself, and consistency within one’s arguments (and actions) across time and social space. Analysis of 750 pages of Durkheim’s letters shows that Durkheim lived a life consistent with and informed by his theories for most of his career. In his professional relations, his personal relations, and his political positions, Durkheim’s moral activity usually proceeds from his theoretical commitments. However, the death of his son in combat could not be theorized within the Durkheimian system, and it broke up this long stable pattern. The analysis concludes that under modern conditions, the issue of moral consistency relates closely to the general problem of solidarity and invites more complex theorization.
本文以Émile迪尔凯姆为例,考察了一个理论家的理论与其日常生活实践的关系。理论与实践的一致性不仅在科学上是正确的,而且在道德上也是正确的。然而,一致性的概念隐藏了几个不同的标准:与自己的理论论点的一致性,与外界对自己的判断的一致性,以及跨越时间和社会空间的论点(和行动)的一致性。对涂尔干750页书信的分析表明,涂尔干的生活与他的理论一致,并在他的大部分职业生涯中受到其理论的影响。在他的职业关系中,在他的个人关系中,在他的政治立场中,迪尔凯姆的道德活动通常源于他的理论承诺。然而,他的儿子在战斗中的死亡在迪尔凯姆体系内无法理论化,这打破了这种长期稳定的模式。分析的结论是,在现代条件下,道德一致性问题与一般的团结问题密切相关,需要更复杂的理论化。

Doing Abstraction: Autism, Diagnosis, and Social Theory. 做抽象:自闭症、诊断和社会理论。

Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic upsurge in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As researchers have investigated the responsible sociohistorical conditions, they have neglected how clinicians determine the diagnosis in local encounters in the first place. Articulating a position "between Foucault and Goffman," we ask how the interaction order of the clinic articulates with larger-scale historical forces affecting the definition and distribution of ASD. First, we show how the diagnostic process has a narrative structure. Second, case data from three decades show how narrative practices accommodate to different periods in the history of the disorder, including changing diagnostic nomenclatures. Third, we show how two different forms of abstraction-Type A, which is categorical, and Type B, which is concrete and particular-inhabit the diagnostic process. Our analysis contributes to the sociology of autism, the sociology of diagnosis, the sociology of abstraction, and social theory.

近几十年来,自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的发病率急剧上升。研究人员在调查相关社会历史条件的同时,却忽略了临床医生如何首先在本地接触中确定诊断。我们提出了一个 "介于福柯和戈夫曼之间 "的立场,询问诊所的互动秩序如何与影响 ASD 定义和分布的更大规模的历史力量相衔接。首先,我们展示了诊断过程的叙事结构。其次,三十年来的病例数据显示了叙事实践如何适应该疾病历史上的不同时期,包括不断变化的诊断术语。第三,我们展示了两种不同形式的抽象--A 型(分类)和 B 型(具体和特殊)--是如何在诊断过程中存在的。我们的分析有助于自闭症社会学、诊断社会学、抽象社会学和社会理论的研究。

The Structure of Causal Chains 因果链的结构

Sociologists are increasingly attentive to the mechanisms responsible for cause-and-effect relationships in the social world. But an aspect of mechanistic causality has not been sufficiently considered. It is well recognized that most phenomena of interest to social science result from multiple mechanisms operating in sequence. However, causal chains—sequentially linked mechanisms and their enabling background conditions—vary not just substantively, by the kind of causal work they do, but also structurally, by their formal properties. In this article, the author examines the nature of causal chains, identifies major structural dimensions along which they differ, and makes a case that a mechanism-based explanation would be enhanced if causal chains and their structures were brought to the analytical forefront.
社会学家越来越关注社会世界中因果关系的机制。但机械因果关系的一个方面还没有得到充分考虑。众所周知,大多数社会科学感兴趣的现象都是由多种机制依次作用产生的。然而,因果链——顺序连接的机制及其促成的背景条件——不仅在本质上因其所做的因果工作而不同,而且在结构上也因其形式性质而不同。在这篇文章中,作者考察了因果链的性质,确定了它们不同的主要结构维度,并提出了一个案例,即如果因果链及其结构被置于分析的前沿,基于机制的解释将得到加强。

Coleman’s Boat Revisited: Causal Sequences and the Micro-macro Link 科尔曼的船重访:因果序列和微观-宏观联系

Gustav Ramström
This article argues that empirical social scientists can be freed from having to account for “micro-to-macro transitions.” The article shows, in opposition to the (still) dominant perspective based on Coleman’s macro-micro-macro model, that no micro-macro transitions or mechanisms connect the individual level to the macro level in empirical social science. Rather, when considering that social macro entities and properties are micro manifest rather than macro manifest, it becomes clear that the micro-macro move in empirical social science is purely conceptual or analytical.
这篇文章认为,实证社会科学家可以从“微观到宏观的转变”中解脱出来。这篇文章表明,与基于科尔曼宏观-微观-宏观模型的(仍然)主导观点相反,在实证社会科学中,没有微观-宏观的转变或机制将个人层面与宏观层面联系起来。相反,当考虑到社会宏观实体和属性是微观表现而不是宏观表现时,很明显,实证社会科学中的微观-宏观运动纯粹是概念性的或分析性的。

Against Teleology in the Study of Race: Toward the Abolition of the Progress Paradigm 反对种族研究中的目的论:走向进步范式的废除

Louise Seamster, Victor Ray
We argue that claims of racial progress rest upon untenable teleological assumptions founded in Enlightenment discourse. We examine the theoretical and methodological focus on progress and its historical roots. We argue research should examine the concrete mechanisms that produce racial stability and change, and we offer three alternative frameworks for interpreting longitudinal racial data and phenomena. The first sees racism as a “fundamental cause,” arguing that race remains a “master category” of social differentiation. The second builds on Glenn’s “settler colonialism as structure” framework to describe race relations as a mutually constituted and place-based system of resource allocation. The third framework draws attention to racialized agency.
我们认为,种族进步的主张建立在启蒙运动话语中站不住脚的目的论假设之上。我们考察了对进步及其历史根源的理论和方法论关注。我们认为,研究应该考察产生种族稳定和变化的具体机制,我们提供了三种解释纵向种族数据和现象的替代框架。第一种观点认为种族主义是“根本原因”,认为种族仍然是社会分化的“主要类别”。第二个框架建立在格伦的“作为结构的定居者殖民主义”框架之上,将种族关系描述为一个相互构成的、基于地点的资源分配系统。第三个框架提请注意种族化的机构。

The third framework draws attention to racialized agency.","PeriodicalId":48131,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0735275118813614","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41550905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the centrality of the notion of “capital,” scholarship on international migration has yet to fully explore the generative potential of Bourdieu’s theory. This article “thinks with” Bourdieu to theorize how states, aspiring migrants, and migration brokers interact over the valorization, conversion, and legitimization of various types of capital for migration purposes. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theorization on the state, I identify the variegated ways in which state policies and their enactment by frontline gatekeepers constitute migration-facilitating capital. I show how migration brokers help migrants acquire adequate capital—or the semblance of possession of such capital—to contest the state’s monopolistic claim over the governance of identity, qualification, and mobility. Drawing on Bourdieu’s conceptualization of field, habitus, illusio, and symbolic violence, I analyze how migrants partake in “organized striving” for migration-facilitating capital, the uneven distribution of which produces material and symbolic stratification.
尽管“资本”这一概念处于中心地位,但关于国际移民的学术研究尚未充分探索布迪厄理论的生成潜力。本文“与布迪厄一起思考”,从理论上阐述了国家、有抱负的移民和移民经纪人如何在移民目的的各种资本的增值、转换和合法化过程中相互作用。根据布迪厄关于国家的理论,我确定了国家政策及其由一线看门人制定的各种方式构成促进移民的资本。我展示了移民经纪人如何帮助移民获得足够的资本,或者表面上拥有这样的资本,以挑战国家对身份、资格和流动性治理的垄断主张。借鉴布迪厄关于场域、习性、幻觉和象征暴力的概念,我分析了移民如何参与“有组织的努力”,以获得促进移民的资本,这种资本的不均匀分布产生了物质和象征的分层。
