现实的社会建构与观念的多维施行

The Social Construction of Reality and the Multi-Performance of Ideas

传统的社会理论在解释当代知识经济和数字经济的快速发展与变化时略显力不从心,这意味着有必要引入新的、更为恰当的概念来解释经济社会发展增速的现象。语言哲学家奥斯丁的“施行”或“施行性”概念引起了学者的重视。施行概念不仅可以分析当代经济现实的建构过程,其解释力还可以在社会创新领域得到进一步拓展。相对于实践概念侧重重复性行动而言,施行概念更强调对创新观念的落实过程,实践则是对观念施行结果(如制度)的再生产活动。观念的施行是多维度的,其中包括物质-技术施行性和社会施行性。观念施行过程中的多维度的协同性是观念得以施行的重要方面。共享经济案例揭示了创新观念施行过程中的协同施行性和施行变异性问题。

As traditional social theories are insufficient in explaining the fast development and change of contemporary knowledge and digital economies,it is necessary to introduce new and more fitting concepts.Based on this,this paper introduces“performance”or“performativity”proposed by John L.Austin to explain the rapid growth of the economy and society.Compared with the concept of practice focusing on repetitive actions,the concept of performance emphasizes the process of turning the signified of a concept into reality.As a result,the realized reality(such as innovated institutions)is reproduced through daily practices.The performance of ideas is multi-dimensional,including material-technological and social performances.As an important aspect in the performance of ideas,multi-performance must be synergistic.The case of sharing economy in this paper reveals the synergistic performance and variability of performance in implementing innovative ideas.
