•失范(anomie)
Homo duplex (the duality of human nature)
迪尔凯姆(涂尔干)
•自杀(suicide)
为何研究自杀:
自杀的增多乃现代社会病态之体现;
自杀乃personal &private之事,若能在此最为不利的情况下证
明集体生活仍然支配着个人的命运,岂不妙哉!
Durkheim
根据原因来划分类型:
integration: lowegoistic suicide(利己型自杀)
(整合) high altruistic suicide(利他型自杀)
regulation: lowanomic suicide(失范型自杀)
(管制) high fatalistic suicide(宿命型自杀)
Integration refers to the degree to which collective sentiments are shared
Regulation refers to the degree of external constraint on people.
迪尔凯姆(涂尔干)
•Religion: God or Society?
•The sacred and the profane
•Beliefs, rites,church:
A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices which unite into one
single moral community called a church, all those who adhere to them.
•“宗教力量非他,乃氏族之集体和莫名力量耳”
•Collective effervescence
•Religion is society becoming conscious of itself
迪尔凯姆(涂尔干)
•Morality:
•现代社会的苦恼,并不集中于特定的阶级,而是普遍存在于整个社会。

“资本家忧心如焚,工人则不满和愤怒”
•社会问题不是经济问题,而是道德问题。

组织起来,提高觉悟,将个人融合于具有道德权威的集体
•调整现代工业失范状态最有限的手段是市民社会中的职业联合体(occupational associations)
•道德教育的要素:
纪律(discipline)精神
对社会群体的依恋(attachment to group)

•冲突理论(conflict theory)
•Dahrendorf, Coser
•交换理论(exchange theory)
•Homans, Blau
•符号互动论(symbolic interactionism)
功能主义
帕森斯(Talcott Parsons,1902-1979)的主要观点:——系统或抽象功能主义•意愿行动理论(voluntaristic theory of action):
规范性取向(normative orientation)
行动者(actor)----------可能的手段-----------目标(end)
情境 situation(conditions、means)

•情感性-情感中立性(affectivity-affective neutrality)
•专一性-扩散性(specificity-diffuseness)
•自我取向-集体取向(Self-collectivity)
源于Tonnies的二分(dichotomy):Gemeinschaft与Gesellschaft
更早Maine: status society vs. contract society
功能主义
•AGIL公式
任何系统都需满足四个要求,且由不同的子系统来承担相应功能:
•A:adaptation 适应行为有机体
•G:goal-attainment目标达成人格系统
•I:integration 整合社会系统
•L:latency 维模文化系统
A
•Adaptation (A). Each system exists in an environment, and must be able to adapt to this environment. In the process of adaptation, the environment is also affected and may be adapted to the society. This is the mobilization of resources so that the system can survive and that things can be done to meet goals of the system.
G
•Goal Attainment (G). Each system has certain purposes associated with it. The goals of the system must be defined, means of attempting to achieve these goals
must be laid out, and then these goals must be achieved. Within the social system, the polity (political sphere and government) is an important aspect of this, setting and altering the goals for the society as a whole, and mobilizing actors and
resources to that end.
I
•Integration (I). This is the means by which social relationships, and interrelationships among units or groups, are regulated. At the level of society as a whole, there are a variety of institutions that do this. Religion, education, the
media, the legal structures – police and courts – all play a role. ( societal
community). Where strains are great, there may be a need for social control, formal and informal sanctions, or discipline to enforce order.
L
•Latency (L) or pattern maintenance (P). also refers to this as the cultural-motivational system. For Parsons, "All institutionalization involves common moral as well as other values” . The organizations and roles that perform latent functions can be regarded as those that furnish, maintain, and renew both the motivation of individuals and the cultural patterns that create and sustain this motivation. Parsons refers to these as fiduciary, that is, founded on trust. At the level of the social
system, these are schools, educational institutions, and the major institution that is concerned with the latent function is kinship and family or other forms of personal relationships.
Social System
• A social system consists in a plurality of individual actors interacting with each other in a situation which has at least a physical or environmental aspect, actors
who are motivated in terms of a tendency to the "optimization of gratification" and
whose relation to their situations, including each other, is defined and mediated in terms of a system of culturally structured and shared symbols (Parsons, 1951, pp. 5-
6).
功能主义

•分化(differentiation)
•适应力提升(adaptive upgrading)

进化三阶段:primitive, intermediate, modern
功能主义
默顿(Robert K. Merton,1910-2003):
——经验功能主义“社会学先生”
中层理论(middle-range theory,中程理论)
功能分析范式(functional analysis):
正功能、反功能、无功能(eu-/ dys-/non)
显功能、潜功能(manifest-/ latent-)
功能替代(functional substitutes)
Theories of the middle range
•Sociological theory: logically interconnected sets of propositions from which empirical uniformities can be derived.
•Theories of the middle range: theories that lie between the minor but necessary working hypotheses that evolve in abundance during day-to-day research and the all-inclusive systematic efforts to develop a unified theory that will explain all the observed uniformities of social behaviour, social organization and social change.
A paradigm of functional analysis
• 1. The item(s) to which functions are imputed.a standardized(patterned and repetitive) item
• 2. Concepts of subjective dispositions (motives, purposes)
• 3. Concepts of objective consequences
A paradigm of functional analysis
•Functions are those observed consequences which make for the adaptation or adjustment of a given system; and dysfunction, those observed consequences
which lessen the adaptation or adjustment of the system. ---The empirical
possibility of nonfunctional consequences.
A paradigm of functional analysis
•Manifest functions are those objective consequences contributing to the adjustment of adaptation of the system which are intended and recognized by
participants in the system.
•Latent functions,correlatively, being those which are neither intended nor recognized.
A paradigm of functional analysis
• 4. Concepts of the unit subserved by the function
• 5. Concepts of functional requirements (needs, prerequisites)
• 6. Concepts of the mechanisms through which functions are fulfilled.
•7. Concepts of functional alternatives(functional equivalents or substitutes)
A paradigm of functional analysis
•8. Concepts of structural context (or structural constraint) :
•The interdependence of the elements of a social structure limits the effective possibility of change or functional alternatives.
•9. Concepts of dynamics and change
A paradigm of functional analysis
•10. Problems of validation of functional analysis
•It requires a system review of the possibility and limitations of comparative (cross-cultural and cross-group) analysis.
•11. Problems of the ideological implications of functional analysis.
功能主义
•自我实现的预言(self-fulfilling prophecy)
•unintended consequences of social action
•越轨行为(deviance)

冲突理论
达伦多夫(Ralph Dahrendorf,1929~)
——辩证冲突论
•“走出乌托邦”
•有关社会的冲突模型(conflict model of society)揭示社会的另一方面强调冲突、强制、变迁(conflict, coercion, constraint, change),而非共识、均衡和稳定(consensus, coherence, equilibrium, stability,
integration, harmony)
冲突理论
•“后资本主义社会”
•资本的解体(the decomposition of capital)
•劳动力的解体(labor)
•新中间阶级的发展(new middle class)
•社会流动的增长(social mobility)
•平等程度的提高(the growth of equality)
冲突理论
•社会冲突的根源:
•权威分配的不平等——结构性产生的冲突(structurally generated conflict)
ICA:强制性协作团体(imperatively coordinated association)
•社会冲突的形成:
利益,潜在利益,显现利益
准群体(quasi group),利益群体,冲突群体
利益群体形成的条件(技术、政治、社会、心理)
冲突理论
•社会冲突的程度
•强度(intensity)
影响因素:冲突关系的重叠程度
权威关系与其他报酬分配的相关程度
社会流动的程度
•烈度(violence)
影响因素:社会经济的剥夺程度
冲突的调节程度
冲突理论
科塞(Lewis Coser,1913-2003)
——theories of conflict
•两种变迁
•系统内的变迁(change within a system)
缓慢的、边缘性的和调适性的变迁
更为激进和彻底的变迁:新体制,新的政治体系
决定何种变迁最有可能发生的主要社会结构性变量,是控制机制的灵活性•越是僵化,越有可能导致系统的变迁;
•越是灵活,越有可能导致系统内的变迁
•冲突具有重要的功能
•解决冲突的努力可能导致整合
冲突理论
•冲突容许群体调整自身的结构
•复兴现有的规范或者引入新的规范
•冲突可以充当一种估量现有群体的相对力量的方式,从而强化或者调整权力的平衡
•有助于在群体之间建立联盟
•有助于维持群体边界
•创造安全阀机制(safety-valve institutions)
冲突理论
•两种类型的冲突:
realistic conflict vs. nonrealistic conflict
•现实性冲突—手段—工具性—工具适用性—手段替代
•非现实性冲突—目的—表意性—攻击满足感—对象替代
其他因素:情感唤起,人格投入,意识形态等
社会交换理论
霍曼斯(George Homans,1910-1989 )
——行为主义交换论
•“恢复人的地位”(Bringing men back in )
•经济人+心理学之鸽=经济鸽?
•解释、演绎、还原的策略
•基本概念
社会交换理论
•一般命题系统:
•成功命题
•刺激命题
•价值命题
•剥夺-满足命题
•攻击-赞同命题
•理性命题 (A = pV)
Actor = a rational profit seeker
Power-dependence relations
•Richard Emerson (1925-1982)
•“Power-dependence Relations”, American Journal of Sociology,1962,Vol. 27. • A depends upon B if he aspires to goals or gratifications whose achievement is facilitated by appropriate actions on B’s part.
•Power resides implicitly in the other’s dependency.
Power-dependence relations
•Dependence (Dab). The dependence of actor A upon actor B is (1) directly proportional to A’s motivational investment in goals mediated by B, and
(2)inversely proportional to the availability of those goals to A outside of the A-B
relation.
Power-dependence relations
•Power (Pab). The power of actor A over actor B is the amount of resistance on the part of B which can be potentially overcome by A.
•Pab=Dba
•Pba=Dab
•Power advantage=Pab-Pba
Power-dependence relations
•How to reduce power advantage?
•Cost reduction
•Balancing operations
•Cost reduction is a process involving change in values (personal, social, economic) which reduces the pains incurred in meeting the demands of a powerful other. Power-dependence relations
•Balancing operations:
•Pab=Dba
V V
•Pba=Dab
Balance can be restored either by an increase in Dab or by a decrease in Dba.
Power-dependence relations
•Four operations:
• 1. If B reduces motivational investment in goals mediated by A;
withdrawal
• 2. If B cultivates alternative sources for gratification of those goals;
extension of power network
• 3. If A increases motivational investment in goals mediated by B;
emergence of status
• 4. If A is denied alternative sources for achieving those goals.
coalition formation
Power-dependence relations
•Coalition formation
•The organized group
•Role-prescriptions
•Group norms
•Authority
•Emergence of status
•The extreme importance of the availability factor in dependency as a determinant of status position and the values employed in status ordering. 社会交换理论
布劳(Peter Blau, 1918-2002)
——结构交换论or dialectical exchange theory
•Exchange and Power in Social Life, 1964
•An important effort to theoretically integrate large- and small-scale sociological issues.
•From elementary forms of behavior to complex social structure
社会交换理论
•从人际交换到社会结构到社会变迁
个人之间的交换交易
地位和权力的分化
合法化和组织
反抗和变迁
•基本过程:
吸引---竞争---分化---整合
复杂社会结构中以规范和价值作为调节机制
符号互动论
•视角的重要性
•New perspective means new reality
•符号互动论作为一种视角的特点:
•并不专注于个体及其人格特征,也不专注于社会结构或社会情境如何导致个体行动,而是专注于互动的性质,即个人之间发生的动态的社会活动。

社会是由互动
的个体组成。

个人和社会皆因互动而变化
•人被理解为是在“现在”行动。

起作用的不是过去所发生的一切,而是现在所发生的一切。

过去通过记忆作用于当下的情境,未来作为目标而影响现在。

•互动不仅是指个体之间,还指个体之内所发生的一切。

人们在一个他们界定的世界中行动,这种界定既受与之互动的他人的影响,也是自己界定的结果。

•符号互动论所描述的人类,要比其他视角所呈现的人类,更具主动性和不可预测性。

人类可以根据自己有意识的选择来指导自己的行动,评估自己和他人的行
动,然后可能修正自己的行动路线。

人在一定程度上是自由的。

•重要概念:
•镜中我(looking-glass self)(Cooley)
•自我发展阶段(Mead)
•玩耍阶段---重要他人(significant other)
•游戏阶段---概化他人(generalized other)
