William H. Sewell Jr. is the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. He is the author of three previous books, including Work and Revolution in France and A Rhetoric of Bourgeois Revolution.
While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social science to history. Logics of History argues that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians.
Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying social theory emerge. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide.
Sewell这本书的主要目的是想把结构和行动带到一块去,把“文化”和“社会”带到一块去,以及最终是要把社会科学家和有人文学科倾向的历史学家带到一块去。他对“文化”和“结构”的理解,以及他对于事件史方法的应用,其实遵循的都是同一个思路。 不过上面那些我之前基本都已...
评分William Sewell traces the rise of positivism and quantification in social history of American academia. Social historians asked new questions about new categories of people with new forms of evidence. Thus a gold mine of documentation arose, including recor...
评分May be summarized as follows: culture, I have argued, should be understood as a dialectic of system and practice, as a dimension of social life autonomous from other such dimensions both in its logic and in its spatial configuration, and as possessing a rea...
评分除了吐槽之外,我还是再写点正经的吧。 ff老师说这本书对于她的启发在于,要去寻找历史事件发生背后的结构。刚才看到笔记人老师说,这本书对于他的意义主要在于,历史学家能从人类学家那里学到什么。但对我来说,这本书的价值在于给那些通过不同的途径生产出来的知识找一个各...

structure, culture, event, geo-temporality
评分Eventful sociology. Contingent event The world is under no obligation to confirm to the logic by which some people conceive of it.- Marshall Sahlins. Event, structure,cultural transformation and social change.Social construction.--Hermeneutical quantification--(Description--Explanation--Interpretation.) Not language, semiotic,Not articulation.
评分这本算是告一段落了,以后有需要再看~
评分六到九章只是粗讀了一下。一個歷史學家寫出(據說是)美國社會學引用第28高的論文(本書第四章),歎為觀止。
评分强推,前两章的社会史/新文化史综述,对cultural turn的反思以及自己的dual structure的概念建构都值得认真反思,最后提出的return of social也是我希望踏足的领域
