表层分析宣言:教育社会理论的文学张力

Manifesto for the Analysis of the Surface:The Literature Thrust of the Social Theory of Education

教育社会理论的兴起具有重要的思想意义。教育社会学对于教育社会理论的召唤,需要在社会理论兴起之背景中去理解。教育社会理论,其特点除了开放、兼容并蓄,还表现为它是一种教育研究文学化的现象。教育社会理论不仅注重对文学概念、思想、理论的吸取,更关键的是,其谈论问题的方式,从对认识论层面的关注上升到了对存在论层面的关注。在二元对立的理性世界,人们习惯于追求深层次的意义,而意识不到表层的存在价值。教育社会理论强调表层的鲜活,但并非满足于华而不实的美学批判,而是在注重表层华丽的同时,追求严密的经验性解释分析。

The rising of social theory of education is of great theoretical significance. The call of the so- ciology of education for the social theory of education can be understood in the context of the rising of so- cial theory. The social theory of education is featured both by the wider inclusiveness in terms of its con- cerns and perspectives and also by the literary style of educational research writing. The social theory for education pays attention to the absorption of literary concepts, thoughts and theories~ what ~s more impor- tant, its concern shifts from epistemological to ontological level in terms of problem discussion. In the ra- tional world of binary opposition, people are used to pursue ＂deeper meaning＂ but are unaware of the value of surface. The social theory for education emphasizes the vigorousness of surface, but is not content with the rhetoric aesthetic criticism. While attaching importance to the magnificent surface, the social theory for education embraces rigorous empirical interpretative analysis.
