具体描述

The Logic of Connective Action explains the rise of a personalized digitally networked politics in which diverse individuals address the common problems of our times such as economic fairness and climate change. Rich case studies from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany illustrate a theoretical framework for understanding how large-scale connective action is coordinated using inclusive discourses such as "We Are the 99%" that travel easily through social media. In many of these mobilizations, communication operates as an organizational process that may replace or supplement familiar forms of collective action based on organizational resource mobilization, leadership, and collective action framing. In some cases, connective action emerges from crowds that shun leaders, as when Occupy protesters created media networks to channel resources and create loose ties among dispersed physical groups. In other cases, conventional political organizations deploy personalized communication logics to enable large-scale engagement with a variety of political causes. The Logic of Connective Action shows how power is organized in communication-based networks, and what political outcomes may result.

用户评价

读到“The Logic of Connective Action”这个书名，我脑海中立刻浮现出各种各样的人们如何在网络时代聚在一起，为了共同的目标而努力的画面。我不太清楚书中具体的内容，但这个标题本身就给我一种强烈的预感，它可能在探讨一种新型的组织和动员方式，一种超越了传统层级结构、更加扁平化和去中心化的行动模式。我猜想，书中很可能会深入分析各种社交平台、在线社区是如何成为这些“连接行动”的温床，以及在这些虚拟空间中，人们是如何被激发、如何达成共识、并最终转化为线下实际行动的。我特别期待书中能对“连接”背后的驱动力进行细致的解读，比如是什么样的信息、什么样的情感、什么样的价值观，才能够有效地将个体连接起来，形成一股强大的合力。我希望这本书能够给我一些关于如何理解和参与这些新型集体行动的深刻洞见。

“The Logic of Connective Action”——这个书名本身就充满了力量感和探索性。我不知道它里面具体讲了什么，但“Connective Action”这个词组，让我感觉它触及到了现代社会行动模式的核心。我猜想，这本书可能是在探讨一种超越传统意义上的集体行动，一种更加分散、更加自发、但却同样具有强大影响力的行动模式。这种“连接”是如何形成的？它遵循怎样的逻辑？是基于共同的利益，还是情感的共鸣，或是对某种不公的共同反抗？我期待书中能够通过大量的案例分析，展示在网络时代，个体是如何被连接起来，形成一股不可忽视的力量，从而推动社会变革。我希望这本书能够给我带来一种全新的思考方式，让我理解如何在纷繁复杂的信息世界中，找到那些真正能够驱动改变的“连接点”，并参与其中。

这本书的名字听起来就非常引人入胜。“The Logic of Connective Action”，光是这个标题就勾起了我无限的遐想。我不知道这本书具体讲了什么，但“Connective Action”这个词组合，让我立刻联想到那些将分散的力量汇聚起来、形成强大合力的新型行动模式。在如今信息爆炸、个体声音容易被淹没的时代，如何实现有效的连接和协同，绝对是一个极具现实意义的课题。我猜想，作者一定深入剖析了“连接”背后的逻辑，不仅仅是简单的技术连接，更可能是指那些能够引发集体共鸣、激发共同行动的内在机制。或许书中会探讨社交网络、集体智慧、社群动员等方面，也可能更侧重于心理学、社会学层面的分析，去解释为什么某些连接能够产生如此强大的影响力，而另一些则销声匿迹。我期待这本书能为我揭示那些隐藏在日常连接背后的、驱动社会变革的深层动力。

“The Logic of Connective Action”这个书名，像是一道邀请，邀请我去探索那些隐藏在表面连接之下的深刻原理。在如今信息碎片化、个体主义盛行的年代，如何让分散的力量汇聚成一股能够推动改变的洪流，是一个令人着迷的挑战。我无法想象这本书的具体内容，但它的名字让我联想到那些在社交媒体上爆发的集体行动，那些由无数个体的微小贡献汇聚而成的巨大能量。我猜测，作者可能是在研究一种超越传统组织理论的“连接逻辑”，一种能够解释为何某些连接能够引发如此强大的集体行动，而另一些则悄无声息。也许书中会深入探讨情感的共振、叙事的传播、身份的认同等因素，是如何在“连接”的过程中扮演关键角色的。我期待这本书能够为我揭示，在这种“连接行动”的背后，是否存在着一套可循的、可被理解和掌握的逻辑。

“The Logic of Connective Action”这个书名，仿佛点亮了我思考的盲区。我总觉得，我们现在所处的时代，个体之间的互动越来越频繁，但也常常感到一种疏离和无力。我们能看到很多小的、分散的行动，但它们似乎很难汇聚成足以撼动现状的强大力量。这本书的名字，让我预感它会提供一种全新的视角，去理解这种“连接”是如何发生的，以及它为何能够转化为“行动”。我猜测，作者可能是在探索一种不同于传统组织模式的行动逻辑，一种更加灵活、去中心化，但又极其有效的协同方式。或许书中会用大量生动的案例来佐证，展示那些曾经看似不可能的集体行动，是如何在特定的“连接逻辑”下实现的。我特别好奇，这种“逻辑”是基于什么原理的？是情感的共鸣，还是共同的利益，或者是某种更深层次的社会需求？我希望这本书能给我一些启发，让我理解如何在信息洪流中找到真正有意义的连接，并转化为积极的改变。

politics, market and common understanding. 当方向越来越往common understanding走，当政治场域变成了一种market，有人有所求，就有人给所有，会变成什么样？内在的想法其实挺有趣的。 反过来，这本书我觉得是有一定的limitation的，比如，凭什么用一个例子去代表一个category，并且通过它来总结其特性？为什么network类型的变化是重要的参数？为什么不是其它因素？比如我们常说的Leadership?当然，后期的研究可以把这些面拓宽去证实它、去推翻它。只是单纯从逻辑角度出发，这一点让我无法信服。

导师之二的新作。深入严谨但难读，几乎是每天50页的节奏。最难得的是怎么把抽象的concepts和relations operationalize，这点Bennett做的很好，丰富的例证建立了足够的evidence. power relations in social network的阐发点有的可做，看来把ethnography和big data结合在一起才是王道哇。
