社会学是什么

社会学是什么

若不引用雷蒙·阿隆的俏皮话就难以给出社会学的定义,他说社会学家仅在一件事上意见一致:难以定义社会学. 要确定社会学家们自己认定的社会现象的种类肯定是不容易的.翻阅一遍任何社会学的专业期刊,我们会发现各式文章,论及社会变迁、闲暇、犯罪、自杀、革命、精神病院、社会流动、时尚和其他主题.     

何谓正义:罗尔斯与哈贝马斯

社会学的传记取向：当代社会学进展的一种维度

20世纪80年代前后,传记取向成为社会（科）学中众多转向或取向的一种。相较于20世纪二三十年代由芝加哥学派引领的传记研究,这一取向的范围更为宽广。它关注个人经历、历史与文化之间的交互作用,反对奉实证主义为圭臬的社会科学研究,重视人的主体性与能动性。这一取向消解或者说超越了传统的二元论或二分法,促使社会学家反思自己的概念架构、研究方法以及书写实践。虽然在晚近的发展中,一些学者甚至提出了自传/传记社会学这一具有分支学科性质的指称,但这一取向还是“浮现中的实践”,尚处于晚熟状态,因此还存在不少争议,布尔迪厄甚至从根本上将传记视为一种幻觉。随着“传记时代”的来临,传记社会学势将成为一个开创性的研究领域。

Clinical Practice with African American Men: What to Consider and What to Do

Abstract

The special needs of growing numbers of international students and other sojourners in the US. can be addressed preventively. Confusion about American academics, customs, and interpersonal relationships may lead to loneliness and stress. Students often present to a medical provider with physical symptoms, but few accept referral to a counselor or clinician. Close teamwork among all staff serving international students is needed to lessen adjustment problems and prevent crises. Special issues of technique in counseling international students are discussed. A model for learning key aspects of an unfamiliar culture, using the student as teacher, is presented.     

Supervision Training: What We Know and What We Need to Know

In this article, the authors explore supervision training, with special emphasis on the theoretical underpinnings and empirical evaluations of supervision for training social work field instructors and clinical staff in professional practice. The authors present an overview of the current literature and research on approaches to supervision training, including the content, format, and effectiveness of contemporary training models. The authors highlight findings from their recent studies, in which they examined a supervision-training model they designed and implemented, based on the relationship between attachment styles, affects, supervisory working alliance, and student competencies. Finally, the authors examine the implications and suggestions for future supervision training and research.     

The Meaning of Meaning in Sociology. The Achievements and Shortcomings of Alfred Schutz's Phenomenological Sociology

Phenomenological sociology was founded at the beginning of 1930s by Alfred Schutz. His mundane phenomenology sought to combine impulses drawn from Husserl's transcendental phenomenology and Weber's action theory. It was made famous at the turn of 1960s and 1970s by Garfinkel's ethnomethodology and Berger & Luckmann's social constructionism. This paper deals with the notable accomplishments of Schutz and his followers and then proceeds to a shared shortcoming, which is that the phenomenological approach is unable to understand meaning in any other way but as actors's knowledge. Therefore, phenomenological sociologists are forced to describe the actor's interpretations of meaning as transparent to the actor him/herself, even if they sometimes make heroic attempts to escape the limitations of the phenomenological conception. The limitation is apparent in Husserl's and Schutz's definition of meaning as a “reflective intentional act”, Garfinkel's use of the term “accounting” to refer to a signifying effect, and the way Berger and Luckmann describe their social theory as “sociology of knowledge”. Today, similar confusions are present in Michael Polanyi's “tacit knowledge”and in Giddens' structuration theory.     

情感社会学：研究的现状与趋势

近年来,情感已成为社会学中一个相对新颖的主题。学者们对情感的研究兴趣日益浓厚,相关的论文和书籍也越来越多,情感社会学理论初见端倪。事实上,许多古典社会学家与当代的社会学家在其理论建构中都曾提及情感。比如迪尔凯姆曾分析过宗教式情感对团结的作用;韦伯的四种行动类型之一就是情感行动,他还指出科层制发展得越完善,就越容易去除所有个人的情感因素;在霍曼斯的理论中,情感是一种可以用来交换的社会资源;戈夫曼也曾分析过互动中的“脸面”与羞耻感。当然,这些社会学家对情感的分析是在其特定的研究背景下产生的,并未对情感做过系统的…
