昆德拉之重

昆德拉之重在于生命不能承受之轻;在于生命中无以数计的“非如此不可”;在于不解之词所诏示的萨比娜的叠加式的背叛;在于镜子所裸现的特蕾莎别样亦可的身体;在于凭藉对残酷现实的幻化所构建的必然之舟上的别样女性与偶然女性。通过对生命不能承受之轻作一女性主义的胜揽和存在主义的洞见,旨在达成某种程度上的文学性和学术性兼具的批评向往。     

The Visibility of Feminist Thought in Family Studies

We assessed feminist visibility in family journals by tallying the feminist content of articles in Journal of Marriage and Family, Journal of Family Issues, and Family Relations. There was an increase in feminist visibility from 1972 to 1992, at which point the growth of visibility stalled. From 1992 to 2002, almost 1 out of 4 articles appeared to be influenced, at least minimally, by feminist scholarship when including in our tally a measure of articles' mentioning of gender in its abstract or title without a detectable feminist perspective in the article. Only about 6% of articles, however, involved an explicit feminist analysis. We offer explanations for this apparent glass ceiling for feminist visibility and make suggestions for future research.

Studying one's own in the Middle East: Negotiating gender and self-other dynamics in the field

This article uses examples of the experience I had in the field as an indigenous researcher in Turkey in order to problematize claims to knowledge. I contend that for researchers who are positioned as relative “insiders,” whether indigenous or bicultural, such aspects of the researcher identity as gender, class, professional and relationship status are made especially salient, perhaps even more so in Middle Eastern contexts. I also argue that while indigenous status can be both empowering and restricting, the insider/outsider position can be employed as a useful vantage point for “rethinking the familiar.” I discuss with examples how this position informed my researcher role and my perspective on what is traditional.     

Women and toxic waste protests: Race,class and gender as resources of resistance

In recent years, women have been at the forefront of grassroot toxic waste protests in the United States. Out of their experience of protest, women construct ideologies of environmental justice, which reveal broader issues of inequality underlying environmental hazards. I examine the environmental discourse of white working class, African American and Native American women activists. The voices of these women show the ways in which their traditional role as mothers becomes a resource for their resistance. At the same time, their emerging analysis of environmental justice is mediated by different experiences of class, race, and ethnicity.     

高度现代性条件下知识缺失与风险叠加

知识缺失有制度化的因素,但是也有规律性的特征.在人类知识高速增长的同时,我们还严重缺乏知识.知识的缺失导致行动无据,过度防御行为使得本原风险出现叠加效应.知识史上知识饱和与知识缺失相伴而生,一方面我们拥有不断增长的社会知识,这些知识在提高人类战胜各类灾害减少风险和获取较高安全保障水平的同时也增强了我们制造风险的能力;另一方面我们应对突发性社会风险的知识又严重短缺,知识缺失使我们更加脆弱和易损,从而使我们的社会进入风险时代.     

Classical sociology and cosmopolitanism: a critical defence of the social

It is frequently argued that classical sociology, if not sociology as a whole, cannot provide any significant insight into globalization, primarily because its assumptions about the nation-state, national cultures and national societies are no longer relevant to a global world. Sociology cannot consequently contribute to a normative debate about cosmopolitanism, which invites us to consider loyalties and identities that reach beyond the nation-state. My argument considers four principal topics. First, I defend the classical legacy by arguing that classical sociology involved the study of 'the social' not national societies. This argument is illustration by reference to Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parsons. Secondly, Durkheim specifically developed the notion of a cosmopolitan sociology to challenge the nationalist assumptions of his day. Thirdly, I attempt to develop a critical version of Max Weber's verstehende soziologie to consider the conditions for critical recognition theory in sociology as a necessary precondition of cosmopolitanism. Finally, I consider the limitations of some contemporary versions of global sociology in the example of 'flexible citizenship' to provide an empirical case study of the limitations of globalization processes and 'sociology beyond society'. While many institutions have become global, some cannot make this transition. Hence, we should consider the limitations on as well as the opportunities for cosmopolitan sociology.     

《罗生门》与三种科学观

电影《罗生门》隐喻了一个被多重建构的事件。科学观或者说科学的社会形象,也是类似的建构产物。科学观是多样且变化的,其中有三种是深具代表性的,即传统的科学观、"还俗"的科学观,以及公众的混杂的和个人化的科学观。在高度科学技术化的现时代,科学的形象已经成为一种重要的政治资源和经济资源,而这三种科学观之间的张力,可以成为民主社会中的一种健康的力量,即在竞争性的解读中达到对科学的更加全面的理解。     

文学想象与“文化共同体”——从《鲁迅〈故乡〉阅读史》一书谈起

《鲁迅〈故乡〉阅读史》一书,是藤井省三从事鲁迅研究二十年来的总结之作。本书从鲁迅的短篇小说《故乡》入手,以文学社会学方法透视现代中国知识群体的阅读情况,考察＂想象的共同体＂如何发挥民族国家建构的作用。其＂小题大做,旁敲侧击＂,力图呈现的可谓是＂文学的社会史＂。从《鲁迅〈故乡〉阅读史》的脉络转到村上春树的中国阅读史研究,藤井为自己的研究对象构筑了开阔的时空关系,看似天马行空的论述背后,其一以贯之的文化体认也蕴蓄其中。
