重写学科历史与重建历史联结:西方社会学的学科自主性追寻

Rewriting Disciplinary History and Reconnecting the History:In Search of an Autonomous Western Sociology

非西方地区社会学在其发展中,提出了许多建设自主学科的知识计划,但是对社会学学科自主性的追寻并不是非西方社会学专属的学术目标,以欧洲和北美为代表的西方社会学在历史发展的轨迹中也在寻求自身学术传统与学科认同的确立和巩固。在不同历史阶段,它们各自采取不同的方法、路径和策略来重塑自己的学科认同与学科自主,并形成了另一种形式的学科自主性实践。美国社会学通过重写学科历史来寻找自己的美国传统,欧洲社会学则通过重新想象和阐释欧洲来突破旧理论的藩篱,这些来自他山的“石”与“玉”,在历史实践中表现出的学科动态,可以为中国社会学的学科体系建设提供有价值的理论与实践参照。

Sociology in non-Western areas have proposed many projects of pursuing an autonomous discipline.However,this project is not exclusive to non-Western sociologies,western sociology in its historical trajectory also attempted to establish its unique academic tradition and consolidate the disciplinary identity which implies an alternative disciplinary autonomy.In the recent developments,American sociology pursues its own tradition by re-writing disciplinary history.European sociology reinterprets and reconstructs Europe to transcend its traditional theoretical barriers.These new trends provide a valuable reference for Chinese sociology and its systematic constructions.
