从个人兴趣来看,这本书对我有一定启发,但是并不是自己最喜欢的类型,其中提供的案例十分丰富,而对于理论的理解可能让我难以明确把握作者的旨趣。不知道作者的大量事例是否在打造畅销书,或便于科普。下述不过个人粗浅阅读的一点体会。 首先,既然强调情境,又强调不同形式的...
评分 评分 评分 评分三年前,当我第一次坐在兰道尔·柯林斯的当代社会理论课堂上,曾经难抑激动的心情:柯林斯是当代最伟大的社会理论学家之一,对于宏观与微观社会学都有深入的研究与建树。他所提出的互动仪式链理论结合了涂尔干的仪式理论、韦伯的冲突理论以及戈夫曼的微观研究方法之精髓,被视...

In the popular misconception fostered by blockbuster action movies and best-selling thrillers - not to mention conventional explanations by social scientists - violence is easy under certain conditions, like poverty, racial or ideological hatreds, or family pathologies. Randall Collins challenges this view in "Violence", arguing that violent confrontation goes against human physiological hardwiring. It is the exception, not the rule - regardless of the underlying conditions or motivations. Collins gives a comprehensive explanation of violence and its dynamics, drawing upon video footage, cutting-edge forensics, and ethnography to examine violent situations up close as they actually happen - and his conclusions will surprise you. Violence comes neither easily nor automatically. Antagonists are by nature tense and fearful, and their confrontational anxieties put up a powerful emotional barrier against violence. Collins guides readers into the very real and disturbing worlds of human discord - from domestic abuse and schoolyard bullying to muggings, violent sports, and armed conflicts. He reveals how the fog of war pervades all violent encounters, limiting people mostly to bluster and bluff, and making violence, when it does occur, largely incompetent, often injuring someone other than its intended target. Collins shows how violence can be triggered only when pathways around this emotional barrier are presented. He explains why violence typically comes in the form of atrocities against the weak, ritualized exhibitions before audiences, or clandestine acts of terrorism and murder - and why a small number of individuals are competent at violence. "Violence" overturns standard views about the root causes of violence and offers solutions for confronting it in the future.
其实只读了第五章bullying mugging holdups,但应该不会把全书读完了,等哪天找中文版再翻翻。例子太多,碎碎杂杂的,好处是内容简单读得快。以及果然微观,用人际互动解读暴力,如果能和更宏观的讨论结合就好了,然而不太可能吧
评分好书好书!居家旅行杀人越货必备!
