学术话语权与中国社会学发展

新中国成立60年尤其是改革开放30年来,中国经济社会发展所取得的巨大成就,在一定程度上改变了现有的全球发展观念,对各种西方理论和学说提出了巨大的挑战,为当代人文社会科学的发展提供了新的契机。为回应时代的挑战和经济社会发展的需要,推动具有中国特色、中国风格、中国气派的人文社会科学学术体系的建构,中国社会科学杂志社先后与西北大学、黑龙江大学联合举办了"第三届中国社会科学前沿论坛"(2009年9月,西安)、"第四届中国社会科学前沿论坛"(2010年8月,伊春),围绕"中国学术话语体系的当代建构"这一话题展开讨论。根据两届论坛的研讨情况,我们组织了这组专题文章。中国人民大学社会学理论与方法研究中心郑杭生教授认为,中国社会学在大力推进社会学本土化,在创造学术话语、把握学术话语权方面,走过了从不自觉到自觉的长期探索之路。更好地掌握学术话语权,并在理论自觉基础上达致学术话语权的制高点,这是中国社会学从世界学术格局边陲走向中心的一条必由之路。

The great social and economic achievements in China since 1949,and especially in the past thirty plus years of reform and opening up,have to some degree remolded global ideas of development,offered a major challenge to various Western theories and doctrines,and provided new opportunities for the contemporary development of humanities and social sciences.In order to meet the challenges of our time and the demands of socio-economic development and to advance the construction of an academic system with Chinese characteristics,a Chinese style and a Chinese spirit,Social Sciences in China Press held its third(September 2009,Xi'an)and fourth(August 2010,Yichun)forums on social sciences frontier studies in China with Northwest University and Heilongjiang University respectively,on the subject of 'the contemporary construction of the Chinese system of academic discourse.'On the basis of the two forums,we have organized this set of articles.Zheng Hangsheng,from the Center for Studies of Sociological Theory and Method of Renmin University of China,believes that Chinese sociology has undertaken an odyssey from unconsciousness to consciousness in promoting the localization of sociology,creating academic discourse and grasping academic discourse power.To move from the periphery to the center,Chinese sociology must gain a better control of discourse power and reach the commanding heights of discourse power on a basis of theoretical consciousness.
