都市运动研究：理论传统的界定和中国经验的嵌入

在西方学术语境中，都市运动（或称都市社会运动）代表了和主流社会运动研究截然不同的学术和理论传统。都市运动成为近年中国社会学研究领域的一个热点，但没有被置于一个系统的理论框架之中。本文从批判性地考察中国学者对“都市运动”这一术语的“借用”开始，然后对西方的都市运动研究的理论脉络进行梳理，突出揭示都市运动研究和主流社会运动在理论观点和研究旨趣方面的差异。文章认为，西方都市运动研究注重学者参与和立足社区的传统，对今天中国的实证研究具有启示意义。

Studying Urban Movement:Clarification of Theoretical Traditions and the Insertion of the Chinese Experience

Urban movement(or urban social movement) has a different theoretical tradition from that of the mainstream social movement studies in the western academia.While urban movement has recently stimulated considerable interest among Chinese scholars,it is yet to be incorporated into a systematic theoretical paradigm.This paper starts with its critical examination of Chinese scholars' adoption of the term of "urban movement" and then reviews the evolution of western urban movement theories,highlighting the difference between urban movement studies and mainstream social movement studies in terms of their theoretical perspectives and research approaches.The paper argues that the urban movement in the west with its tradition of emphasizing scholars' involvement and intervention at the community level can enlighten the empirical research in current China.
