转型中国的社会学想象力——《大河移民上访的故事》的方法论启示

The Sociological Imagination in Chinese Great Transformation: Learning from“A Story of a Hydroelectric Station Area in Southwest in China”

《大河移民上访的故事》立足于中国快速变迁的抗争事实进行本土化的尝试,试图打破西方目前主导的学术框架和规范,以大河移民事件的"局部性叙说和学理逻辑演绎"呈现其社会学研究。文章认为这部作品从方法论上主要有三点启示:取道"社会性"的路径,把握转型中国丰富的社会实践和独特的权力运作;运用"讲故事"的手法,从关系主义进路阐释国家与社会、政府与民众复杂的权力过程;从"局内人"的视角,通过反思性科学和拓展个案,忠实记录当地人实际作为的同时还考虑发生在"时空中的真实事件、斗争和戏剧性场面"。

Based on the conflict facts in contemporary China, the book, "From ’asking for a statement’ To ’balancing relations(baiping lishun)’ :A story of a hydroelectric station area in southwest in China", attempts to break out the dominance of western discourse and discipline,and presents a perfect social research about"A story of a hydroelectric station area"in a partialnarrative way. In my opinion, this article at least can teach us : Firstly, it grasps the rich social practice and particular power operating in great transform of China by the way of "social"; Secondly, it focuses on the mazy relationship and process of power operation between state and society, government and the public by telling organizational tales. Lastly, from inside-man’s eyes, it faithfully records what the located has done in daily-life as well as takes "space-time facts, conflicts and dramatic scene" into account by the reflective science and extended method.
