How can social scientists uncover the root causes of contemporary outcomes? Many scholars have assumed that a problem associated with identifying root causes—the problem of infinite regress—poses a central impediment to this endeavor. However, few have attempted to clearly conceptualize infinite regress or offer more than solutions in passing. This article undertakes the challenge. I begin by conceptualizing infinite regress as the potentially endless cycle initiated when assessing the relative weight of proximate versus antecedent causes in a causal chain. Next, how do we weigh causes in such causal chains? I build on Mahoney, Kimball, and Koivu’s “sequence elaboration” method, and argue that this method is best suited to approach the problem. Yet, sequence elaboration cannot tell us when to stop our search. How do we know we have arrived at a root cause? I evaluate six potential “stopping rules” using various historical examples and suggest that three of these offer coherent possible solutions: the “critical juncture stopping rule,” the “necessary and sufficient cause stopping rule,” and the “mechanism stopping rule.”
社会科学家如何揭示当代结果的根本原因?许多学者认为,与确定根本原因有关的问题——无限回归问题——是这一努力的主要障碍。然而,很少有人试图清楚地概念化无限回归,或者提供更多的解决方案。本文承担了这一挑战。我首先将无限回归概念化为在评估因果链中近因与前因的相对权重时所启动的潜在无限循环。接下来,我们如何衡量这些因果链中的原因?我以Mahoney、Kimball和Koivu的“序列细化”方法为基础,并认为这种方法最适合解决这个问题。然而,序列细化不能告诉我们何时停止搜索。我们怎么知道我们找到了根本原因?我使用各种历史例子评估了六种潜在的“停止规则”,并建议其中三种提供连贯的可能解决方案:“关键节点停止规则”,“必要和充分原因停止规则”和“机制停止规则”。

Queering Doing Gender: The Curious Absence of Ethnomethodology in Gender Studies and in Sociology 酷儿做性别:性别研究和社会学中族群方法学的奇怪缺失

“Doing Gender,” Candance West and Don Zimmerman’s famous 1987 article, has become a folk concept—a trope or commonsense resource within the sociology of gender. Yet at the same time, most gender scholars overlook its ethnomethodological premise, visible in both poststructuralist misunderstandings of its argument outside the discipline of sociology and what I term a realist misunderstanding of it in the study of structures and identities within the discipline. Reading West and Zimmerman queerly while clarifying ethnomethodology’s ontology, I refocus attention for critical scholarship on ethnomethodology’s analytic sensibilities for research on gender, race, and sexuality, among other embodiments. Specifically, ethnomethodology reframes a vision of actors as relational, practical actors; repositions gender as accountable, jointly produced social relations, not individual identity; and foregrounds resistance in addition to conformity. Hence, my gender (race/class/sexuality) is not mine; it is ours. Ethnomethodology’s ontological shift in temporality to reality-in-production enables interpretive-materialism: a queer, anti-racist, intersectional sociology that is future-facing and in motion.
Candance West和Don Zimmerman 1987年的著名文章《做性别》已经成为一个民间概念——性别社会学中的一个比喻或常识资源。然而,与此同时,大多数性别学者忽视了它的民族方法论前提,这在社会学学科外对其论点的后结构主义误解和我所说的在学科内结构和身份研究中对其的现实主义误解中都可以看出。在澄清民族方法论的本体论的同时,我很奇怪地阅读了West和Zimmerman,我将注意力重新集中在批判性学术上,即民族方法论对性别、种族和性行为研究的分析敏感性,以及其他体现。具体而言,民族方法论将行动者的愿景重新定义为关系的、实际的行动者;将性别重新定位为负责任的、共同产生的社会关系,而不是个人身份;以及除一致性之外的前景电阻。因此,我的性别(种族/阶级/性取向)不是我的;它是我们的。民族方法论在生产中从时间性到现实性的本体论转变使解释唯物主义成为可能:这是一种面向未来的、反种族主义的、交叉的社会学。

Contentious Tactics as Jazz Performances: A Pragmatist Approach to the Study of Repertoire Change 有争议的战术作为爵士表演:一个实用主义的方法来研究剧目的变化

The metaphor of “repertoire” is increasingly used in the study of contention to convey the fact that people act collectively through a limited set of cultural routines. Yet despite its broad adoption, the term is loosely defined and rarely subject to empirical verification. This has led to unfruitful scholarly disputes, with most perspectives assuming that change in repertoires is independent from how actors perform them. Drawing a parallel between the dynamics of repertoire performance and jazz improvisation, I propose a pragmatist definition of repertoires, understood as relational sets of collective practices that become routinized as habit-sets and become a baseline for innovation when actors face puzzling situations. I then provide a theoretical model for analyzing change in contentious repertoires, which relies on the study of the co-constitutive relation between tactical affordances, actors’ strategies and identities, and contexts. I illustrate this model with three secondary cases of unexpected tactical innovation.
在争论的研究中,“剧目”的隐喻越来越多地被用来传达这样一个事实,即人们通过一套有限的文化惯例集体行动。然而,尽管该术语被广泛采用,但定义松散,很少经过实证验证。这导致了毫无结果的学术争论,大多数观点认为剧目的变化与演员的表演方式无关。将曲目表演和爵士乐即兴创作的动态进行比较,我提出了一个实用主义者对曲目的定义,将其理解为集体实践的关系集合,这些集合被常规化为习惯集合,并在演员面临令人困惑的情况时成为创新的基线。然后,我提供了一个分析有争议剧目变化的理论模型,该模型依赖于对战术可供性、演员策略和身份以及背景之间的共同构成关系的研究。我用三个意想不到的战术创新的次要案例来说明这个模型。

Interpellative Styles: Choreographies of Identity Disruptions and Repairs 人际风格:身份颠覆和修复的编排

Drawing on ethnographic research with two Orthodox Jewish outreach organizations, this article conceptualizes interpellative styles and offers a framework to analyze how styles are variously situated, mediated, performed, and disruptive. I mobilize a micro-interactional approach to parse out how these four dimensions shape ideological recruitment and their roles in the choreographies of identity disruptions and repairs. The two case studies illuminate why and how groups deploy different interpellative styles and what elements shape whether styles are (in)effective. In these ways, the article contributes to scholarship on how people become persuaded to take on new identities and provides insight into the resistance and failures groups encounter when attempting to interpellate others. I conclude with a discussion of how a theory of interpellative styles can be applied more broadly and used to investigate the overlap between cultural, physiological, and psychological processes in identity formation and alteration.
本文借鉴了对两个正统派犹太外联组织的民族志研究,将互问风格概念化,并提供了一个框架来分析风格是如何不同地定位、中介、表现和破坏的。我运用微观互动的方法来分析这四个维度是如何塑造意识形态招募的,以及它们在身份破坏和修复的编排中的作用。这两个案例研究阐明了群体为什么以及如何部署不同的质询风格,以及哪些元素决定了风格是否有效。通过这些方式,这篇文章有助于研究人们是如何被说服接受新身份的,并深入了解群体在试图质问他人时遇到的阻力和失败。最后,我讨论了如何更广泛地应用提问风格理论,并将其用于研究身份形成和改变中文化、生理和心理过程之间的重叠。

“All the Old Illusions”: On Guessing at Being in Crisis “一切旧的幻觉”:关于危机中的猜测

Models of culture and action argue that crises can be generative of change, with changing contexts setting off reflexivity—a view of crisis as self-evident that is echoed in comparative historical work. Looking to the beginning of the Cold War in Romania and France, this article elaborates two instances when crises did not produce reflexive recognition. This echoes performative approaches that highlight actors needing to interpret crises into being yet underscores that crisis claims nonetheless take place in contexts potentially marked by shifting sociocultural scaffoldings. Rooted in the empirical finding that actors can live through—and be affected by—structural transformations without thinking of themselves as being in crisis, I put forward a conception of crises as unclear as they are taking place. Actors can guess at being or not being in crisis, with no guarantee their guess is fortuitous. Crisis management will be the result of these guesses: some informed, some lucky—and some, indeed, disastrous.
文化和行动模型认为,危机可以产生变化,不断变化的背景会引发自反性——这种对危机的看法是不言而喻的,在比较历史著作中也得到了回应。本文以罗马尼亚和法国的冷战开始为例,阐述了危机没有产生反射性认识的两个例子。这与强调行动者需要将危机解读为现实的表演方法相呼应,但也强调了危机主张仍然发生在可能以社会文化框架变化为标志的背景下。基于经验发现,行动者可以在不认为自己处于危机中的情况下经历结构转型,并受到结构转型的影响,我提出了一个危机发生时不清楚的概念。演员可以猜测是否处于危机中,但不能保证他们的猜测是偶然的。危机管理将是这些猜测的结果:有些是知情的,有些是幸运的——有些确实是灾难性的。

Signs and Their Temporality: The Performative Power of Interpretation in the Supreme Court 符号及其暂时性:最高法院解释的执行力

A. Moore
Building on pragmatist uses of semiotics as a heuristic for understanding social interaction, this article argues that temporality is a significant and undertheorized component of signs and their interpretation. Using transcripts from the oral argumentation of a Supreme Court case, I examine how different interpretations of the same sign (a burning cross) rely not only on differing understandings of the sign’s object and how that object is signified but also, more specifically, differing understandings of the sign’s relationship to the past, present, and future.
基于实用主义者对符号学的启发,本文认为时间性是符号及其解释的一个重要且理论不足的组成部分。利用最高法院一个案件的口头辩论记录,我研究了对同一个符号(燃烧的十字架)的不同解释如何不仅取决于对符号对象和该对象是如何表示的不同理解,而且更具体地说,还取决于对该符号与过去、现在和未来关系的不同理解。

Varieties of Misrecognition: Connecting Bourdieu and Fanon toward an Analysis of Racialized Islamic Fields 误认的多样性:连接布迪厄和法农对种族化的伊斯兰领域的分析

This article explains variations in misrecognition of domination among the racialized subaltern. I draw on a comparative analysis of the fields of Islam in France and India, informed by the work of Bourdieu and Fanon. I first argue that Bourdieu’s concept of the religious field provides a crucial reframing of the Islamic field whereby religious judgments represent classification struggles over legitimate Islam. Second, I approach misrecognition in the field by distinguishing the field’s discourse from its doxa. I argue that misrecognition varies according to the degree of (1) subaltern minority integration into educational institutions and (2) proximity of the subaltern to the dominant classes. I bring in the work of Fanon, whose writings on the psychological effects of racial domination are a crucial complement to a Bourdieusian analysis. Together, they provide a more refined understanding of misrecognition in racialized religious fields and, in turn, potential for political resistance.
这篇文章解释了在种族化的下层社会中对统治的误解的变化。我借鉴了布迪厄和法农的著作,对法国和印度的伊斯兰教领域进行了比较分析。我首先认为,布迪厄的宗教领域概念为伊斯兰领域提供了一个重要的重构,即宗教判断代表了对合法伊斯兰教的分类斗争。其次,我通过区分该领域的话语与其doxa来处理该领域的误解。我认为,误解的程度取决于(1)次等少数民族融入教育机构的程度,以及(2)次等少数民族与统治阶级的接近程度。我引入了法农的作品,他关于种族统治的心理影响的著作是对布尔迪厄分析的重要补充。总之,它们对种族化的宗教领域的误认提供了更精确的理解,进而对潜在的政治抵制提供了更精确的理解。

Theorizing from the Margins: A Tribute to Lewis and Rose Laub Coser 边缘化:对刘易斯和罗斯·劳布·科瑟的致敬

This article is an adaptation of the sixteenth Lewis A. Coser lecture, given virtually in 2021 for the American Sociological Association Meetings. In this article, I pay tribute to Lewis and Rose Laub Coser by engaging with their past work, which inspired a theoretical provocation about what it means to theorize from the margins. I specifically address the questions of who gets to be a theorist and what kinds of theoretical work get marginalized. I outline the process of epistemic oppression involved in trying to publish marginal ideas in mainstream journals. I argue that the relationship between mainstream sociology and what I refer to as “marginal” requires a relational perspective that (1) situates both marginalized scholars and their scholarship in the broader discipline of sociology and (2) examines the epistemic oppression of their theories regardless of their sometimes-powerful institutional positioning in highly ranked departments or as leaders within various professional associations.
这篇文章改编自刘易斯·A·科瑟的第十六次演讲,该演讲实际上是在2021年为美国社会学协会会议举办的。在这篇文章中,我通过参与他们过去的工作来向Lewis和Rose Laub Coser致敬,这激发了一场关于从边缘进行理论化意味着什么的理论挑衅。我专门讨论了谁能成为理论家以及什么样的理论工作被边缘化的问题。我概述了试图在主流期刊上发表边缘思想所涉及的认识压迫的过程。我认为,主流社会学和我所说的“边缘化”之间的关系需要一种关系视角,即(1)将边缘化学者及其学术置于更广泛的社会学学科中,(2)考察他们的理论的认识压迫,无论他们有时在高级别部门或各种专业协会的领导者。

Citizenship as Accumulation by Dispossession: The Paradox of Settler Colonial Citizenship 作为剥夺积累的公民权:移民殖民公民权的悖论

This article extends critical trends of citizenship studies and the theory of accumulation by dispossession to articulate how settler colonial citizenship is instantiated through the active accrual of land and resources and how the emerging settler colonial citizenship entrenches both structural subjugation and resistance. The article then examines the reformation of the boundaries of citizenship through indigenous agency. I do so through examining the Palestinian citizens in Israel, specifically centering the Internally Displaced Persons—Palestinians who received Israeli citizenship even as they were displaced from their places of origin. I conclude by asserting citizenship’s double paradox in settler colonial contexts: It regulates certain rights and mobilities but simultaneously entraps the indigenous in a structure in which recursive accumulation is constitutive, thus entrenching dispossession and the further loss of collective rights and other claims.
本文扩展了公民身份研究的关键趋势和剥夺积累理论,阐明了定居者殖民公民身份是如何通过积极积累土地和资源来实例化的,以及新兴的定居者殖民公民权是如何巩固结构性征服和抵抗的。然后,文章考察了通过土著代理对公民身份界限的改革。我是通过调查在以色列的巴勒斯坦公民来做到这一点的,特别是以国内流离失所者为中心——即使他们从原籍地流离失所,也获得了以色列公民身份的巴勒斯坦人。最后,我断言公民身份在定居者殖民背景下的双重悖论:它规范了某些权利和流动性,但同时将土著人困在一个递归积累构成的结构中,从而巩固了剥夺和集体权利和其他权利要求的进一步丧失。

I do so through examining the Palestinian citizens in Israel, specifically centering the Internally Displaced Persons—Palestinians who received Israeli citizenship even as they were displaced from their places of origin. I conclude by asserting citizenship’s double paradox in settler colonial contexts: It regulates certain rights and mobilities but simultaneously entraps the indigenous in a structure in which recursive accumulation is constitutive, thus entrenching dispossession and the further loss of collective rights and other claims.","PeriodicalId":48131,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46972140","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}

Contention in the form of protests, riots, and direct action is a central political practice in contemporary democracies. It is also a staple of sociological analysis, after slowly crystallizing as a distinct object of analysis from the 1970s onward. Lately, however, it has become unclear what this distinctiveness consists of and how it may help guide studies of contention: What distinguishes contention from other practices? I argue that contention can be seen as an ontologically distinctive experience. What sets this experience apart is that it expresses a potential for conflict that underlies all social formations. We can take these expressions of conflict as objects of analysis. This means asking how the conflict expressed in contentious practices is ascribed meaning. I develop this perspective theoretically and show how it may facilitate new empirical analyses of contention’s boundaries, its relation to truth, and ethical relations in contention.
抗议、暴乱和直接行动形式的争论是当代民主国家的核心政治实践。它也是社会学分析的主要内容,自20世纪70年代以来,它逐渐成为一个独特的分析对象。然而,最近,人们已经不清楚这种独特性是由什么组成的,以及它如何有助于指导争论的研究:争论与其他实践的区别是什么?我认为,争论可以被视为一种本体论上的独特体验。这种经历的不同之处在于,它表达了一种潜在的冲突,这种冲突是所有社会形态的基础。我们可以把这些冲突的表达作为分析的对象。这意味着要问在有争议的实践中表达的冲突是如何被赋予意义的。我从理论上发展了这种观点,并展示了它如何有助于对争论的边界、它与真理的关系以及争论中的伦理关系进行新的实证分析。
