海洋社会学学科发展面临的挑战及其突破

The Challenge and Breakthrough Facing the Disciplinary Development of Marine Sociology

作为一门新兴的社会学分支学科,海洋社会学已经形成了自己的科学共同体。而学科范畴的偏离和学科理论的匮乏已经成为制约学科发展的核心因素。关于学科范畴的偏离,需要加强学科意识和学术研究的社会学化。而学科理论建设需要科学共同体走出宏大叙事、走向田野、走向理论演绎。海洋开发提供了海洋社会学与主流社会学的对话平台,其中,海洋开发政策的自下而上考察、海洋开发中的生态破坏、低水平开发和石油泄漏提供了关键性的平台。海洋社会学重在研究海洋开发的社会机制、社会过程与社会后果,同时需要关注文化因素。

As an emerging branch of sociological subject, marine sociology has already formed its own scientific community. However, the deviation of sociological category and deficiency of disciplinary theory have been restricting its development. Enhancement of disciplinary consciousness and sociologicalization are needed to correct the deviation. For disciplinary theoretical construction, the scientific community needs to remove grand narrative, move towards field study and theoretical deduction. Marine develop- ment, which includes nongovernmental attitude, ecological damage, low--level development and oil spill, provides a platform for a dialogue between marine sociology and main sociology. Marine sociology focuses on the relevant cultural factors as well as the social mechanisms, processes and consequences of marine development.
