“北京学”刍议

在分析北京学与地方学、首都学的关系和学科研究区域范围等一些争议问题的基础上探讨了北京学学科的属性。假设北京学是一门独立学科,根据研究对象,它是一门自然、人文科学相结合的多范式综合学科;根据社会学学科属性分析方法,它又是一门应用性较强的“软”科学和一门“分野度”较高的“城市化度”较低的学科。所以,北京学发展过程中既要加强与地方学、首都学的联系和扩大研究的区域范围,还应不拘泥于研究范式,加强应用理论研究,扩大研究队伍的同时增加批判性交流的机会。

Discussing Beijing Studies

The disciplinary attribute of Beijing studies has been approached after a discussion over such controversial issues as the relationship among Beijing studies,local studies and capital studies and the disciplinary area coverage of Beijing studies.If Beijing studies form an independent discipline,according to its research objects,it is an integrative discipline linking physical science and social science.According to the analytical methods of disciplinary attribute in sociology,Beijing studies establish a "soft" discipline with extensive "application" and a discipline with higher "divergence" but lower "urbanization".Therefore,it is significant to strengthen relations among Beijing studies,local studies and capital studies,to broaden area coverage,to develop various research models,to enhance research of applied theories,and to increase the chances of critical intercourses.
