反讽实践:重建“结构”社会工作——来自“新古典社会学”的启示

Irony Practice: Reconstructing Structural Social Work:Enlightenment from Neoclassical Sociology

20世纪70年代以来,结构社会工作在不断扩大影响力的同时却遭遇着边缘化危机:随着新保守主义的势力扩张,结构视角在政治层面与自由主义为基础的体制格格不入。近年来通过重拾结构视角所建立起的"批判反思实践"日益勃兴,但尚未有效回答其自身的方法论基础、界定社会工作者的使命。文章旨在通过呈现西方社会学批判分析传统所面临的危机,与塞勒尼等人试图重建批判性社会科学的努力进行对话,梳理作为方法论的"反讽"概念与当代知识分子使命,尝试总结新古典社会学对社会工作理论的关联性启发,以此为重建结构社会工作提供洞见。

Structural social work has been expanding its influence while experiencing marginalized crises since 1970s： with the expansion of neo-conservatism, the structural perspective is incompatible with the liberal-based system at the political level. In recent years, the ＂critical reflection practice＂ established through the reunification of the socialist tradition of social work has become increasingly prosperous, but it has not been possible to answer the question of legitimacy in its own theory. The purpose of this paper is to reflect the crisis of the traditional sociology by analyzing the crisis of western sociology, and to try to reconstruct the critical social science by talking with lvan Szelenyi and others to sort out the concept of ＂irony＂ as a methodology and the mission of contemporary intellectuals. Under the inspiration of relevance of classical sociology and social work, this paper provides insights to the reconstruction of social work.
