Sociological Theory (社会学理论下) 一、课程简介 本课程为一学期的课程。上学期以古典社会学理论为主,下学期则讨论当代社会学理论。因为上学期进度落后,本学期将先教完上学期未完成之部分,然后才进行本学期预定的课程。 This is a one semester course. Last semester dealt mainly with classical social theories, this semester will cover various contemporary ones. Due to a falling short of the expected progress from last semester, this one will begin with where we left off last semester, proceeded by what’s already in store for this semester. 本学期讨论到的当代社会学理论家有习惯被称为「结构功能学派(或理论)」的帕深思和莫顿;被称为「冲突学派(或理论)」的柯塞和达伦道夫、被称为「社会交换学派(或理论)」的布劳、霍门史和爱默森;被称为「符象互动学派(或理论)」的米德、布鲁默和库恩;被称为「现象学派(或理论)」的舒兹;被称为「俗民方法学派(或理论)」的葛芬柯;被称为「戏剧学派(或理论)」的高夫曼;被统称为「新(或西方)马克思主义学派(或理论)」的葛兰西、卢卡奇和阿图塞;被称为「法兰克福学派(或批判理论)」的霍克海默、阿多诺和哈伯玛斯;以及几位在一九八零年代影响力大的欧洲社会学家布赫迪厄、纪登斯、爱里亚斯和陆曼。 The contemporary social theorists covered in this semester include: Parsons and Merton, customarily branded structural functionalism; Coser and Dahrendorf, known as conflict theory, Blau, Homans and Emerson, labeled as social exchange theory; Mead, Blumner and Khun, identified as symbolic interactionism; Schultz, labeled as phenomenology; Garfinkel, known for his ethnomethodology; Erving Goffman, of dramaturgical theory fame; Gramsci, Luckacs and Althusser, collectively known as neo-Marxism; Horkheimer, Adorno and Habermas, labeled as Frankfurt school; and several prominent European sociologists of the 1980s, Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens, Elias and Luhmann. 这学期要讨论到廿世纪美国社会学理论以及欧洲的思想风潮,例如:西方马克思主义、法兰克福学派,以及当前名声响亮的几位欧洲社会学家。因为要谈到的人物和思想涵盖范围很广,本人很难面面俱到,因此在授课时,对于某些部份会有或详或略的差异,希望学生在听课之余,还能自行找寻相关参考书籍,以便有更广泛的理解。特别是对于本人没有特别心得的社会学理论家,各位同学自行阅读相关读物,就不会比本人知道的少,所以课堂上就不多做讨论,而将重点放在本人比较有心得的社会学理论家以及他们相关的理论。 American sociological theories and European trends of thinking (e.g. Western Marxism, Frankfurt school and the eminent European sociologists of today) comprise the body of this semester. Due to the breadth of people and ideas and the implausibility of allotting extensive treatment for each topic, the degree of elaboration will inevitably vary. Therefore apart from lectures, the student is encouraged to seek additional reading material for the purpose of achieving broader understanding of the given subject. The class will focus on the social theorists and theories which the instructor is better versed in. Regarding the social theorists addressed less frequently in the class, students need only read autonomously to achieve superior sense than the instructor. 这学期会讨论到的社会学理论家很多。许多老师是以学派为讨论的主轴,在同一学派之下讨论几位不同理论家的类似看法。本人因为相信每位社会学理论家都有其独特性,不适用学派就可以加以规范的,所以本人的教学仍将本着和上学期教授古典社会学理论一贯的做法,以每位社会学家为讨论的主体,从其生平着作、思想脉络、着作脉络以及主要概念四个方向着手讨论。不过,当代理论家的着作脉络的问题往往不如古典前辈来得大,所以多半予以省略。 Many social theorists will be discussed during the course of this semester. There are many professors who are school-oriented, covering several theorists’ similar views according their respective schools. Due to my belief that each and every social theorist possesses unique attributes, which renders “schooling” an inappropriate means of confinement, the class is consistent with last semester’s fourfold method of centering on the individual sociologist, and from his/her life’s work, progression of thought, and sequence of works come to grips with the essence of the sociologist. However, the problem of contemporary theorists’ sequence of works pales under their classical counterparts, for this reason much of it is curtailed. 本课程依上学期往例,并不指定教课书,而以本人的讲义为主。但是同学应该养成主动去寻找课外相关读物或是网路资料的习惯,这样才会有更丰硕的学习成果。 In accordance with the previous semester, no textbook is assigned for this course, which is based on my lecture notes. Nevertheless, students ought to develop the habit of independently seeking relevant non-class reading or internet material to magnify the upshots of learning. 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/3457ca4af7ec4afe04a1df9f.html
