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.
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.
Sewell這本書的主要目的是想把結構和行動帶到一塊去,把“文化”和“社會”帶到一塊去,以及最終是要把社會科學傢和有人文學科傾嚮的曆史學傢帶到一塊去。他對“文化”和“結構”的理解,以及他對於事件史方法的應用,其實遵循的都是同一個思路。 不過上麵那些我之前基本都已...
評分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...
評分我一開始對社會學産生極大的興趣——想來可能同很多其他社會學學生一樣——是上本科理論課讀韋伯齊美爾一摩爾經典理論傢讓我腦洞大開,覺得他們既能極好的勾勒齣從傳統社會到現代社會的變遷,又能極犀利地鋪陳齣對現代社會的反思和批判。這種求知的興趣往往到瞭當代理論就遇到...
評分 評分我接觸休厄爾這本書的時間不算早,之前在課上和其他作品中大緻知道瞭一些這本書中的觀點。後來寫畢業論文時又找來翻過瞭一遍,以求能尋找一些靈感。中譯本齣來時很是興奮,但讀過第一章後,覺得這本書的翻譯暫時沒有符閤我原有的期待。 不過先要肯定兩位譯者非常用心。凡是做過...
這本算是告一段落瞭,以後有需要再看~
评分:無
评分曆史社會學:結構的崩潰與轉型。結構與能動性相互構成,結構的縫隙帶來市民社會能動性的可能,集體的能動性則帶來結構的變革。
评分六到九章隻是粗讀瞭一下。一個歷史學傢寫齣(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。
评分比一般的人類學教材受用多瞭,內容和用詞也比較平易近人,
