书籍介绍
社会理论常被视作高悬于象牙塔尖的术语迷宫,而这本书最打动人的地方,恰恰是它主动走下神坛,把社会理论还原为你早已践行的日常。读者反复提到:作者从康德和黑格尔讲起,而非从孔德等“社会学家”入手,正是为了提醒我们——社会理论处理的从来不只是“社会”,而是意义、动机与人际互动:一个骑自行车的人撞上石头而摔倒不算社会现象,唯有当警察、爱人、保险代理人介入时才成为研究对象。全书以“结构—能动性”的对立、偏重与超越为主线,把纷繁的范式收束为一条清晰脉络,让初读者感到“框架再巩固”而非“重新受难”。它适合已修过社会学课程、渴望为碎片知识找到坐标的人,也适合被书名“邀请”二字打动、愿意重新打量自身所知的普通读者。

精彩摘录
  • "Previous social theories are seen by structurationists as privileging one of these dimensions over the other. Marxism and functionalist theory overly focuses on how social systems reproduce themselves, regarding individual actors as mere ‘cultural dopes’ who carry out actions and interactions which "
  • "Structuration theory therefore seeks to overcome what it sees as the failings of earlier social theory, avoiding both its ‘objectivist’ and ‘subjectivist’ extremes, seeking to overcome these by forging a new terminology to describe how people both create and are created by social order, and how the "
  • "The two most important contemporary theorists of structuration are Anthony Giddens and Pierre Bourdieu. Both have attempted to escape what they see as the endless oscillation in previous theoretical endeavours between ‘objectivist’ and ‘subjectivist’ orientations. Both have attempted to abolish the "
  • "Instead of seeing what individuals do as ‘actions’ produced by conscious choices (as does Weberian Action Theory and Rational Choice Theory), a focus on practices draws from phenomenology the idea of ‘practical consciousness’, the notion that what most people do most of the time is neither wholly co"
  • "Bourdieu looking more to certain ideas about power in Weber, Marx and Durkheim, and Giddens looking more to ethnomethodology and the philosophy of Wittgenstein for understandings of interaction."
  • "Habitus is meant to describe both how social conditions act upon and shape individuals’ actions, and also how people are – within certain limits – capable of creative responses to the situations they find themselves in (Reay, 2004). That is the essence of structuration for Bourdieu."
  • "Habitus involves both the socially shaped dispositions and creatively generated activities (practices) of individuals belonging to a particular group. It describes the conjunction between how social structures act on individuals in that group, and how individuals actively respond to the social situa"
  • "Returning to habitus, Bourdieu sees it as encompassing both objective and subjective, passive and active, and ‘material’ and ‘ideal’ elements. The more ‘objective’ and ‘material’ aspects of a habitus are the life-conditions of the group possessed of that habitus (e.g. whether they are economically w"

巴拉巴拉巴拉巴拉巴拉一大堆
译文流畅现在都是表扬了?是原著写的好,译者虽然当时是研究生,但不故弄玄虚,比较流畅。对比下这也讽刺了一帮所谓学者的译书,天天卖弄西化语言,根本不好好说话。本书不但适合对社会学有兴趣的读者,也适合对文学理论,哲学有兴趣的各界人士,是非常好的入门读物。强烈推荐!感谢这几位踏实的译者,我给5分!你们辛苦了!
娘啊译者翻译得真的超级棒
在万圣书园逛的时候瞥见,翻了目录后便一直念念不忘,最后还是带回了家。算是第一本正式接触的理论梳理,框架很清晰,常有灵光闪现处。好多次边读边忍不住内心暗叹社会学的魅力。是忍不住想给认识的刚入学的社会学师弟师妹们安利的程度。翻译很流畅,看到书末写到是给研究生所译,功力确实深。也好希望明年九月能顺利去到芬兰,再搭个两个小时的大巴,去作者的赫尔辛基大学看看。
我的评价是:确实。
