Conférence du 5 mars : Chinese sociology in retrospection: theoretical focal concerns and methodological debates
In this lecture, Liu Neng would like first to trace the trajectory of the reconstruction of the discipline of sociology (and partially, anthropology) in China from the late 1970s and early 1980s, up to the highly institutionalized post millennium era. Empirical areas such as developmental studies and migration, and theory-oriented interests such as social stratification and social capital, have become main threads that ultimately draw most Chinese sociologists’ attention.
Generally speaking, three main theoretical concerns warrant extra considerations:
1) a unique state-society relation that embodied in everyday life social practices;
2) the long lasting impact of the legacy of communist practices on current social landscape, and
3) the Chinese way of social change in general.
Second, three methodological debates have been discussed against the history of a general revival of Chinese social sciences in the last three decades:
1) globalization versus indigenization;
2) a policy oriented or a knowledge-production oriented academic world;
3) the so called qua1itative and quantitative competition.
A NOTER : les thèmes de cette conférence feront l'objet d'un séminaire les 12 et 20 mars, à l'ENS de Lyon, avec le professeur Liu Neng. En savoir plus
