American organizational theorists have not taken up the call to apply Bourdieu’s approach in all of its richness in part because,
for better or worse, evidentiary traditions render untenable the kind of sweeping analysis that makes Bourdieu’s classics
compelling. Yet many of the insights found in Bourdieu are being pursued piecemeal, in distinct paradigmatic projects that
explore the character of fields, the emergence of organizational habitus, and the changing forms of capital that are key to
the control of modern organizations. A number of these programs build on the same sociological classics that Bourdieu built
his own theory on. These share the same lineage, even if they were not directly influenced by Bourdieu.

The current crisis of neoliberalism is calling into question the relevance of key international institutions. We analyze the
origins, nature, and possible impacts of the crisis through comparing two such institutions: the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both originated in the post-World War II U.S.-led hegemonic order and were transformed
as part of the transition to global neoliberalism. We show that while the IMF and the WTO have been part of the same hegemonic
project, their distinct institutional features have put them on significantly different trajectories. Historical differences
in the two institutions’ systems of rules have placed the IMF in a more vulnerable position than the WTO, which provides clues
to the future contours of global economic governance.

Using ethnographic data collected in the downtown nightlife of Athens, Georgia, we explore black males’ responses to being
rejected from nightclubs via dress code enforcement in predominately white settings. We contrast these responses to the general
experiences of other black males who gained access. Although race is a factor in the enforcement of dress codes, we find a
fluid relationship between race, class, and taste that influences black males’ responses and experiences. We illustrate how
the nuanced reality of lived racial and class experiences for many young black males problematize the narrow interpretation
of a black cultural essence.

How to model an institution 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Institutions are linkage mechanisms that bridge across three kinds of social divides—they link micro systems of social interaction
to meso (and macro) levels of organization, they connect the symbolic with the material, and the agentic with the structural.
Two key analytic principles are identified for empirical research, relationality and duality. These are linked to new research
strategies for the study of institutions that draw on network analytic techniques. Two hypotheses are suggested. (1) Institutional
resilience is directly correlated to the overall degree of structural linkages that bridge across domains of level, meaning,
and agency. (2) Institutional change is related to over-bridging, defined as the sustained juxtaposition of multiple styles
within the same institutional site. Case examples are used to test these contentions. Institutional stability is examined
in the case of Indian caste systems and American academic science. Institutional change is explored in the case of the rise
of the early Christian church and in the origins of rock and roll music.

The social order of markets 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Jens Beckert 《Theory and Society》2009,38(3):245-269
In this article I develop a proposal for the theoretical vantage point of the sociology of markets, focusing on the problem
of the social order of markets. The initial premise is that markets are highly demanding arenas of social interaction, which
can only operate if three inevitable coordination problems are resolved. I define these coordination problems as the value problem, the problem of competition and the cooperation problem. I argue that these problems can only be resolved based on stable reciprocal expectations on the part of market actors, which
have their basis in the socio-structural, institutional and cultural embedding of markets. The sociology of markets aims to
investigate how market action is structured by these macrostructures and to examine their dynamic processes of change. While
the focus of economic sociology has been primarily on the stability of markets and the reproduction of firms, the conceptualization
developed here brings change and profit motives more forcefully into the analysis. It also differs from the focus of the new
economic sociology on the supply side of markets, by emphasizing the role of demand for the order of markets, especially in
the discussion of the problems of valuation and cooperation.

In the late twentieth century, many social scientists and other social commentators came to characterize the world as evolving
into an “information society.” Central to these claims was the notion that new social uses of information, and particularly
application of scientific knowledge, are transforming social life in fundamental ways. Among the supposed transformations
are the rise of intellectuals in social importance, growing productivity and prosperity stemming from increasingly knowledge-based
economic activity, and replacement of political conflict by authoritative, knowledge-based decision-making. We trace these
ideas to their origins in the Enlightenment doctrines of Saint Simon and Comte, show that empirical support for them has never
been strong, and consider the durability of their social appeal.

As President Nixon once observed, “we are all Keynesians.” And we do indeed live in a macroeconomic world, essentially, as
defined and elucidated by Keynes. But Keynes himself is underrepresented in both political science and in mainstream economics.
This is a costly intellectual error. Keynes’ prodigious writings, as well as his actions, offer a treasure trove of inspiration,
analysis, and insight. This article considers four themes in Keynes’ oeuvre that are especially worthy of revisiting: the
importance of economic inequality, the potentially fragile underpinnings of international economic order, the inherent dysfunctions
of the international monetary economy, and, perhaps most important, Keynes’ philosophy and its relationship to economic inquiry.

Although a central construct for sociologists, the concept of institution continues to elude clear and full specification.
One reason for this lack of clarity is that about 50 years ago empirical researchers in the field of sociology turned their
gaze downward, away from macro-sociological constructs in order to focus their attention on middle-range empirical projects.
It took almost 20 years for the concept of the institution to work its back onto the empirical research agenda of mainstream
sociologists. The new institutional project in organizational sociology led the way. Since then, scholars in this tradition
have achieved a great deal but there is still much more to accomplish. Here, future directions for research are considered
by reviewing how the concept of the institution has come to be treated by mainstream philosophers, sociologists of science
and technology studies, and social network theorists.

Bourdieu and organizational analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Despite some promising steps in the right direction, organizational analysis has yet to exploit fully the theoretical and
empirical possibilities inherent in the writings of Pierre Bourdieu. While certain concepts associated with his thought, such
as field and capital, are already widely known in the organizational literature, the specific ways in which these terms are
being used provide ample evidence that the full significance of his relational mode of thought has yet to be sufficiently
apprehended. Moreover, the almost complete inattention to habitus, the third of Bourdieu’s major concepts, without which the
concepts of field and capital (at least as he deployed them) make no sense, further attests to the misappropriation of his
ideas and to the lack of appreciation of their potential usefulness. It is our aim in this paper, by contrast, to set forth
a more informed and comprehensive account of what a relational – and, in particular, a Bourdieu-inspired – agenda for organizational
research might look like. Accordingly, we examine the implications of his theoretical framework for interorganizational relations,
as well as for organizations themselves analyzed as fields. The primary advantage of such an approach, we argue, is the central
place accorded therein to the social conditions under which inter- and intraorganizational power relations are produced, reproduced,
and contested.

A new version of the age-old controversy between religion and science has been launched by today’s intelligent design movement.
Although ostensibly concerned simply with combating Darwinism, this new creationism seeks to drive a “wedge” into the materialist
view of the world, originating with the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and manifested in modern times by Darwin, Marx,
and Freud. Intelligent design proponents thus can be seen as challenging not only natural and physical science but social
science as well. In this article, we attempt to explain the long history of this controversy, stretching over millennia, and
to defend science (especially social science) against the criticisms of intelligent design proponents – by defending science’s
materialist roots.

Neutrality has been the classic answer of the liberal state to religious and cultural difference. A number of multicultural
critics recently debunked it as “myth” and group power in disguise. Comparing Islamic headscarf laws in France and Germany,
I argue that neutrality is more complex and multifaceted than this. The comparison shows that neutrality leaves space for
particularistic and universalistic, unity- and rights-oriented stances, the first located in the sphere of democratic politics, the second in the legal–constitutional sphere.
Recent headscarf laws may then be understood as political backlash against the rights-oriented neutrality that has emerged
in the legal spheres of both countries.

Elite college admissions exemplify processes of social closure in which status-group conflict, organizational self-interest,
the strategic use of cultural ideals of merit, and broader social trends and contingent historical events interweave to shape
institutional power in the United States. The Chosen, Jerome Karabel’s monumental study of the history of college admissions at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton from 1900 to 2005,
offers a political sociology of elite recruitment and a cultural and social history of the definition of merit that has guided
these three schools and shaped much current thinking about college admissions. As Max Weber reminded us, the very definition
of cultural ideals of an epoch bear the stamp of elite group domination: not cultural ideals but cultural interests and their
strategic uses guide institutional power. The book provides an impressive empirical demonstration of that proposition: it
identifies four different definitions of merit as organizational gatekeeping tools that have guided Harvard, Yale, and Princeton
over the last hundred years and shows how these definitions were molded by status-group conflict and organizational interests.
This essay outlines the central arguments of Karabel’s book; it identifies key contributions for our understanding of the
history, culture, organizational interests, and politics of these three institutions; it highlights the social closure framework
guiding the analysis; and it reflects on a fundamental ambiguity in Karabel’s thinking about meritocratic ideals as governing
principles for modern stratified societies.

The dichotomy between emotion and rationality has been one of the most enduring of sociological theory. This article attempts
to bypass this dichotomy by examining how emotion and rationality are conjoined in the practice of the choice of a mate. We
posit the fundamental role of culture in determining the nature of this intertwinement. We explore the culturally embedded
intertwining of emotion and rationality through the notion of modal configuration. Modal configuration includes five key features: reflexivity, techniques, modal emphasis, modal overlap, and modal sequencing.
We apply this framework to the topic of partner selection. Comparing primary and secondary sources on pre-modern partner selection
and on internet dating, we show that emotion and rationality were intertwined in both periods but that what differs between
them is precisely the emotion-rationality modality.

Not many years ago both anthropology and political science experienced internal disputes—in the first case over the publication
of a book accusing a noted anthropologist of endangering indigenous subjects and in the second over the nature of the field.
While the first led to polarization, the second produced a partial convergence and modest reforms. This article examines the
two processes and seeks the key mechanisms that produced those differences, closing with a call for broadening the study of
contentious politics to cover non-public controversies like the ones examined in this article.
Sidney Tarrow teaches Political Science and Sociology at Cornell University, where he specializes in social movements and contentious politics. Tarrow’s first book was Peasant Communism in Southern Italy (Yale, 1967). His next project on contentious politics was a reconstruction of Italian protest cycle of the late 1960s, Democracy and Disorder (Oxford, 1989). With Cambridge Press, he published Power in Movement (1998), Dynamics of Contention (2001, along with Doug McAdam and Charles Tilly), and The New Transnational Activism (2005). His latest book (with Charles Tilly) is Contentious Politics (Paradigm, 2007). Tarrow is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is currently working on a project on “human rights at war.” 相似文献

By virtually dominating French intellectual life (literature, philosophy, culture) during the early post-World War II period,
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) embodied what Pierre Bourdieu calls a “total intellectual” – one who responds to and helps frame
public debate on all the intellectual and political issues of the day. During his lifetime and even after his death in 1980,
Sartre’s thinking and political engagements provoked sharp reactions, both positive and negative, in France and abroad. Marxism,
decolonization struggles, and violence are three key themes on which Sartre’s public positions continue to generate considerable
debate – a debate that remains relevant today.

This article argues that while elements of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology are increasingly employed in American sociology, it
is rare to find all three of Bourdieu’s master concepts—habitus, capital, and field—incorporated into a single study. Moreover,
these concepts are seldom deployed within a relational perspective that was fundamental to Bourdieu’s thinking. The article
“Bourdieu and Organizational Analysis” by Mustafa Emirbayer and Victoria Johnson is a welcomed exception, for it draws on
all three of Bourdieu’s pillar concepts to propose a relational approach to the study of organizations. It both reframes existing
thinking about organizations, particularly from the neo-institutional and resource dependence schools, and indicates new directions
for research in organizations to move. This paper evaluates their contribution calling attention to its many strengths and
suggesting a few points that need future clarification and elaboration.

Remittances by immigrants and temporary workers of Indian origin in industrialized countries are a growing part of India’s
economy. In this exploratory study we examine the social and economic characteristics affecting the remittance pattern of
working households (or families) of Indian origin residing in the United States. As most previous studies have been undertaken
at the macroeconomic level, our main contribution lies in identifying the household level factors that may influence remittances.
Using an online and a mail-in survey of 39 households we find some of the significant factors affecting remittances. We also
validate some of the remittance-related policies of the Indian government.

Transference enactments play a central role in clinical supervision regardless of whether supervisors or supervisees consciously
recognize or acknowledge their presence. Supervisors who do recognize enactments better understand the core issues that interfere
with supervisees’ capacity to relate therapeutically to patients. Supervisory process is markedly enhanced when supervisors
consciously study manifestations of transference within the supervisory relationship and respond to them correctively. Corrective
interventions, whether purposeful or unintentional, expand supervisees’ relational and self-reflective capacities.
