  • 情感经济

    作者:罗兰·T. 拉斯特 / 黄明蕙

    人工智能全面进驻人类生活的几百年里,人类智能的世界发生了巨大的变化,生产、消费等各个环节都产生了新的特征。作者以人工智能的发展作为线索,梳理经济社会发展的进程。并以此为背景,引申出新的经济时代可能发生的工作性质、教育体系、女性地位、消费方式等的变化。

    伴随着人工智能的发展,人类社会走过了体力经济时代,正在经历思维经济时代,并已经显露出情感经济的特征。在情感经济时代,随着机器被训练着开始“思考”,过去需要人类智能的许多任务现在都通过人工智能实现了自动化。然而,注重情感或情绪体验的工作却仍难以实现自动化,所以情感经济的本质就是强调“情商”和“同理心”。这一时期,人类工作中技术性的部分慢慢淡化,情感向的技能将进一步升级。

    人类对于人工智能的开发仍在继续,伴随而来的担忧和争议也将一直存在。如果人工智能进一步产生情感,打破人类在创造力、共情力领域的“垄断优势”;如果机器全面压制人类智能的“奇点”真的到来……人类未来要去向何方,人机共生的伦理困境如何突破,都是不可逃避的问题。

  • 历史脉络中的收藏与鉴定

    作者:薛龙春 主编

    近年来,图像渐渐成为不同领域学者共同处理的材料,艺术品收藏与鉴定的历史研究也成为许多人共同关心的课题。收藏与鉴定,不仅涉及到具体艺术品的甄别、传播与交易,它的装潢、包装、买卖、运输等环节,也获得不同程度的关注。无论是一件作品的递藏,还是一部书画著录,无论是个体的藏家,还是一个时期的收藏全局,其脉络与意义都需置诸具体的历史情境中加以探求与解读。惟有如此,收藏活动才能与更广泛的历史发生联系。同时,除了提供“真品”,鉴定过程中发现的“伪作”,它产生的动机与知识结构,也是理解过往人心、经验与观念的有益材料。而鉴定与收藏的之间所形成的张力,还能发展出关于品味、价值观以及文化策略等方面的新议题。

    2017 年 9 月,浙江大学文化遗产研究院、艺术与考古博物馆以及亚洲文明研究中心主办“中国艺术的收藏与鉴定”工作坊,本书收入工作坊的论文和讨论,以期深化中国艺术收藏与鉴定的历史研究。

  • Language and Symbolic Power

    作者:Pierre Bourdieu

    This volume brings together Bourdieu's highly original writings on language and on the relations among language, power, and politics. Bourdieu develops a forceful critique of traditional approaches to language, including the linguistic theories of Saussure and Chomsky and the theory of speech-acts elaborated by Austin and others. He argues that language should he viewed not only as a means of communication but also as a medium of power through which individuals pursue their own interests and display their practical competence. Drawing on the concepts that are part of his distinctive theoretical approach. Bourdieu maintains that linguistic utterances or expressions can be understood as the product of the relation between a linguistic market" and it "linguistic habitus." When individuals use language in particular ways, they deploy their accumulated linguistic resources and implicitly adapt their words to the demands of the social held or market that is their audience. Hence every linguistic interaction, however personal or insignificant it may seem, hears the traces of the social structure that it both expresses and helps to reproduce. Bourdieu's account sheds fresh light on the ways in which linguistic usage varies according to considerations such as class and gender. It also opens up a new approach to the ways in which language is used in the domain of politics. For politics is, among other things, the arena in which words are deeds and the symbolic character of power is at stake. This volume, by one of the leading social thinkers in the world today, represents a major contribution to the study of language and power. It will be of interest to students throughout the social sciences and humanities, especially in sociology, politics, anthropology, linguistics, and literature.
  • Reassembling the Social

    作者:Bruno Latour

    Reassembling the Social is a fundamental challenge from one of the world's leading social theorists to how we understand society and the 'social'. Bruno Latour's contention is that the word 'social' as used by Social Scientists has become laden with assumptions to the point where it has become a misnomer. When the adjective is applied to a phenomenon, it is used to indicate a stabilized state of affairs, a bundle of ties that in due course may be used to account for another phenomenon. Latour also finds the word used as if it described a type of material, in a comparable way to an adjective such as 'wooden' or 'steely'. Rather than simply indicating what is already assembled together, it is now used in a way that makes assumptions about the nature of what is assembled. It has become a word that designates two distinct things: a process of assembling: and a type of material, distinct from others. Latour shows why 'the social' cannot be thought of as a kind of material or domain, and disputes attempts to provide a 'social explanation' of other states of affairs. While these attempts have been productive (and probably necessary) in the past, the very success of the social sciences mean that they are largely no longer so. At the present stage it is no longer possible to inspect the precise constituents entering the social domain. Latour returns to the original meaning of 'the social' to redefine the notion and allow it to trace connections again. It will then be possible to resume the traditional goal of the social sciences, but using more refined tools. Drawing on his extensive work examining the 'assemblages' of nature, Latour finds it necessary to scrutinize thoroughly the exact content of what is assembled under the umbrella of Society. This approach, a 'sociology of associations' has become known as Actor-Network-Theory, and this book is an essential introduction both for those seeking to understand Actor-Network-Theory, or the ideas of one of its most influential proponents.

  • The Power Elite

    作者:C. Wright Mills,Alan

    First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.

  • The Truly Disadvantaged

    作者:William Julius Wilso

    "The Truly Disadvantaged should spur critical thinking in many quarters about the causes and possible remedies for inner city poverty. As policy makers grapple with the problems of an enlarged underclass they--as well as community leaders and all concerned Americans of all races--would be advised to examine Mr. Wilson's incisive analysis."--Robert Greenstein, New York Times Book Review "'Must reading' for civil-rights leaders, leaders of advocacy organizations for the poor, and for elected officials in our major urban centers."--Bernard C. Watson, Journal of Negro Education "Required reading for anyone, presidential candidate or private citizen, who really wants to address the growing plight of the black urban underclass."--David J. Garrow, Washington Post Book World Selected by the editors of the New York Times Book Review as one of the sixteen best books of 1987. Winner of the 1988 C. Wright Mills Award of the Society for the Study of Social Problems.
  • Marriage, a History

    作者:Stephanie Coontz

    Marriage has never been more fragile. But the same things that have made it so have also made a good marriage more fulfilling than ever before. In this enlightening and hugely entertaining book, historian and marriage expert Stephanie Coontz takes readers from the marital intrigues of ancient Babylon to the sexual torments of Victorian couples to demonstrate how recent the idea of marrying for love is-and how absurd it would have seemed to most of our ancestors. It was only 200 years ago that marriage began to be about love and emotional commitment, and since then the very things that have strengthened marriage as a personal relationship have steadily weakened it as a social institution. Marriage, A History brings intelligence, wit, and some badly needed perspective to today's marital debates and dilemmas.
  • Escape from Freedom

    作者:Erich Fromm

    If humanity cannot live with the dangers and responsibilities inherent in freedom, it will probably turn to authoritarianism. This is the central idea of Escape from Freedom, a landmark work by one of the most distinguished thinkers of our time, and a book that is as timely now as when first published in 1941. Few books have thrown such light upon the forces that shape modern society or penetrated so deeply into the causes of authoritarian systems. If the rise of democracy set some people free, at the same time it gave birth to a society in which the individual feels alienated and dehumanized. Using the insights of psychoanalysis as probing agents, Fromm’s work analyzes the illness of contemporary civilization as witnessed by its willingness to submit to totalitarian rule.
  • How Societies Remember

    作者:Paul Connerton

    In treating memory as a cultural rather than an individual faculty, this book provides an account of how bodily practices are transmitted in, and as, traditions. Most studies of memory as a cultural faculty focus on written, or inscribed transmissions of memories. Paul Connerton, on the other hand, concentrates on bodily (or incorporated) practices, and so questions the currently dominant idea that literary texts may be taken as a metaphor for social practices generally. The author argues that images of the past and recollected knowledge of the past are conveyed and sustained by ritual performances and that performative memory is bodily. Bodily social memory is an essential aspect of social memory, but it is an aspect which has until now been badly neglected. An innovative study, this work should be of interest to researchers into social, political and anthropological thought as well as to graduate and undergraduate students.
  • Art Worlds

    作者:Howard S. Becker

    This classic sociological examination of art as collective action explores the cooperative network of suppliers, performers, dealers, critics, and consumers who - along with the artist - "produce" a work of art. Howard S. Becker looks at the conventions essential to this operation and, prospectively, at the extent to which art is shaped by this collective activity. The book is thoroughly illustrated and updated with a new dialogue between Becker and eminent French sociologist Alain Pessin about the extended social system in which art is created, and with a new preface in which the author talks about his own process in creating this influential work.
  • 西方社会学文选

    作者:于海

    本书为20世纪西方社会理论文选。全书分经典与当代两大部分,当代理论再分为美国、德国、英国和法国等四个小部分,选入过去100年在西方产生过最重要影响的欧美社会理论家50多位,文献78篇。本书可作为社会学专业学生的专业英语教材,也可用作社会科学的基本原典文献。 Anthony Giddens曾这样区分“社会理论”和“社会学”,他将“社会理论”等同于各门社会科学所共同关注的论题领域,如行动与行动者的性质,互动与制度的关系等。而认为“社会学”只是社会科学的一门分支,只关注“发达的”或现代的社会。本文选以“Social Theory”为篇名,依据了Giddens的这一分别,透过诸如行动、自我、互动、符号、结构、知识、权力等具有分析性和实质性意义的范畴在本文选所占之篇幅,表明了编者确定的重点,这些内容也就是通常所谓“方法论”、“理论视角”或“理论范式”的问题。但这种分别不应是僵硬的和机械的。离开西方现代社会的真实进程和实质分析,社会理论就将失去与生活世界的真实联系,从而丧失解释力量。正如 Hegel所坚持的那样,方法是贯穿于过程始终的精神,而非游离在外的窍门。Durkheim、Weber、Wallerstein、Giddens、Foucault、Baudrillard等人的社会分析同样也是在对诸如“分工社会”、“官僚社会”、“现代世界体系”、“自反性现代性”、“规训社会”及“拟像社会”的阐述中展开的,也就是说,这些有关现代西方社会的实质理论本身具有方法论的意义。 本文选参考了西方学者(主要为美国学者)编的社会理论文选,它们是: Talcott Parsons等编的Theories of Society(The Free Press,1961);Randall Colllns编的Three Soc。ologlcalTraditions(Oxford University Press, 1985); Lewis A.Coser等编的 Sociological Theory (Macmillan Publishing Co,Inc,1982),以及 Charles Lemert编的 Social Theory(Westview Press,1999)。本文选充分借鉴了这些文本对经典理论的选择成果,事实上在经典篇目的确定和选择上西方社会学界已经形成高度共识,如Durkheim《宗教生活的基本形式》中的结论部分,Weber《经济与社会》的第一章“社会学的基本概念”,Mead《心灵、自我和社会》中“玩耍、游戏、普遍化他人”章节等,都是各选本必选篇目。在当代理论方面,各选家的重点已显分化,但仍然存有共识,如Parsons的单位行动与模式变项理论,Berger和Luckmann的知识社会学的现象学界定,Levi-Strauss的神话的结构分析,Foucault的真理与权力的谈话等。本文选也参考了上述编者的工作,在这些方面我们的工作是分享而非原创。但这是一本编给中国学生阅读的社会理论文选,因而在入选人物、篇目、文选结构等方面都有异于上述文本的考虑和安排。首先,本文选是按年代与国家安排篇章次序和不同部分的,以期展现社会理论的发展脉络和国别特点,而为中国学生提供把握理论脉络的直观时空框架。其次,本文选在国别分类中加入了学派分类,将入选人物依学派勾连起来,凸现理论传统的源流与分合,减少了人物众多无从入手的散漫性。这样的学派分际之于具体人物不可能圆满契合,削足适履亦恐难免,却也不妨为理论学习的方便导引,无论如何在对20世纪主要社会理论传统的认定上仍然存在着基本的共识。最后,本文选入选人物是以一个中国学者的眼光选择的,待入选人物的重要性很大程度上也是依据其在中国的影响力来判定的,并力求平衡地对待不同国家的入选人数,避免厚此薄彼,这对标以“西方社会理论”的文选来说是一必不可少的要求。正是鉴于在美国学者编选的文本中德国与法国的篇幅显得薄弱,本文选给予德法社会理论家更多的关注。我们选入不应遗漏的 Scheler、Luhmann和 Danrendorf(德国)及 Touraine、Crozier和Boudon(法国) ;增加 Habermas、Giddens和 Bourdieu的篇幅。事实上, Parsons以后,法国和德国较之美国更应被称为社会理论富有活力的中心。本文选并不忽视美国社会理论的贡献,战后Parsons代表的美国社会学成为主流理论,“整个世界的社会学都为美国社会学所主宰,社会理论里深深地刻下了Parsons的印记”(Giddens语),它所占的篇幅仍是最大的一块,但这不意味着Parsons仍然要占有最重的分量。今天我们应该有足够的眼光给予其他美国社会理论家更公正的关注,力求不遗漏当代重要而活跃的美国社会理论家(如 COllins)。 Comte通常被视为西方社会学鼻祖,这种说法的象征意义远大于其实质意义。Comte生活的时代诞生了现代意义的社会学,Comte自有贡献,但比起Marx的贡献来是微不足道的。19世纪社会学真正可称为经典的人物只有Marx一人。在Marx传统之外,所有重要的社会理论传统和主流学派都是在20世纪发展起来的。从这个意义上说,本文选不说包含了全部的“现代社会理论”,确也涵盖了它的大部。 本书入选文献,除已经过了版权保护年限成为公众共享的篇目外,我们都向作者或出版机构申请重印许可。我们已经得到下列作者的无偿授权:法国巴黎索邦大学 Raymond Boudon,法国国家研究中心 Alain Touraine和 Erhand Friedberg,英国伦敦经济学院 Anthony Giddens,美国耶鲁大学 Jeffrey Alexander,宾夕法尼亚大学 Randall Collins,加州大学伯克利分校 Nancy Chodorow等。在此谨向他们表示由衷的感谢。 中国优秀的大学都在倡导使用国外原版教材,编选本书算是一个积极的响应,在我也是一个新的尝试,期待海内外方家不吝赐教。

    作者:Ulrich Beck

  • The Consequences of Modernity

    作者:Anthony Giddens

    In this major theoretical statement, the author offers a new and provoctive interpretation of institutional transformations associated with modernity. What is modernity? The author suggests, "As a first approximation, let us simply say the following: 'modernity' refers to modes of social life or organization which emerged in Europe from about the seventeenth century onwards and which subsequently became more or less worldwide in their influence." We do not as yet, the author argues, live in a post-modern world. The distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing years of the twentieth century suggest that, rather than entering into a period of post-modernity, we are moving into a period of "high modernity" in which the consequences of modernity are becoming more radicalized and universalized than before. A post-modern social universe may eventualy come into being, but this as yet lies on the other side of the forms of social and cultural organization that currently dominate world history. In developing a fresh characterization of the nature of modernity, the author concentrates on the themes of "security versus danger and o "trust versus risk. Modernity is a double-edged phenomenon. The development of modern social institutions has created vastly greater opportunities for human beings to enjoy a secure and rewarding existencethan in any type of pre-modern system. But modernity also has a somber side that has become very important in the present century, such as the frequently degrading nature of modern industrial work, the growth of totalitarianism, the threat of environmentsal destruction, and the alrming development of military power and weaponry. The book builds upon the author's pevious theoretical writings and will be of great interest to those who have followed his work through the years. However, this book covers issues the author has not previously analyzed and extends the scope of his work into areas of pressing practical concern.
  • On Collective Memory

    作者:Maurice Halbwachs

    How do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which established him as a major figure in the history of sociology. This volume, the first comprehensive English- language translation of Halbwach's writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge. Halbwachs' primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes of behavior. Halbwachs shows, for example, how pilgrims to the Holy Land over the centuries evoked very different images of the events of Jesus' life; how wealthy old families in France have a memory of the past that diverges sharply from that of the nouveaux riches; and how working class constructions of reality differ from those of their middle-class counterparts. With a detailed introduction by Lewis A. Coser, this translation will be an indispensable source for new research in historical sociology and cultural memory. Lewis A. Coser is Distinguished Professor of Sociology Emeritus at the State University of New York and Adjunct Professor of Sociology at Boston College.
  • Georg Simmel on Individuality and Social Forms

    作者:Georg Simmel

    "Of those who created the intellectual capital used to launch the enterprise of professional sociology, Georg Simmel was perhaps the most original and fecund. In search of a subject matter for sociology that would distinguish it from all other social sciences and humanistic disciplines, he charted a new field for discovery and proceeded to explore a world of novel topics in works that have guided and anticipated the thinking of generations of sociologists. Such distinctive concepts of contemporary sociology as social distance, marginality, urbanism as a way of life, role-playing, social behavior as exchange, conflict as an integrating process, dyadic encounter, circular interaction, reference groups as perspectives, and sociological ambivalence embody ideas which Simmel adumbrated more than six decades ago."--Donald N. Levine Half of the material included in this edition of Simmel's writings represents new translations. This includes Simmel's important, lengthy, and previously untranslated "Group Expansion and Development of Individuality," as well as three selections from his most neglected work, "Philosophy of Money"; in addition, the introduction to "Probleme der Geschichtsphilosophie," chapter one of the "Lebensanschauung," and three essays are translated for the first time.
  • Learning to Labor

    作者:Paul Willis

    Hailed by the "New Society" as the "best book on male working class youth," this classic work, first published in 1977, has been translated into several foreign languages and remains the authority in ethnographical studies.
