时间社课纲｜ 加州大学伯克利分校龙彦：全球化理论
课程介绍
全球与跨国社会学是社会学里一个新兴的分支。和其他历史悠久的领域相比，这个年轻的分支本身只有极少数成型的社会学理论流派，在绝大多数的社会学系也没有专门的授课。这门为博士生们所设计的理论概论课也因此具有非常强烈的个人色彩，更多的代表了我自己多年独自探索中所总结出的重要的分析路径和理论传承。比如这个课纲一大特点是“杂”：因为美国社会学学科本身是以民族国家为核心，我不得不博采众家之长，广泛借鉴国际关系、历史学、人类学、法学、科技与社会研究（STS）等等。如何用跨学科的视角来撬动社会学走出地方主义属于日常折磨我的痛苦源泉之一。
全球与跨国社会学理论课有三个目标。一是简略介绍自18世纪以来世界历史发展的重要宏观脉络以及当下走向。比如第三世界体系的形成与帝国的阴魂不散以及民族国家的兴起有何关系？二是理清关键的理论概念和分析视角。比如现代性的多样性（varieties of modernity）和多个现代性（multiple modernities）经常被用于理解中国在内的新兴经济体，但这些概念背后的知识谱系和政治争论是什么？三是就如何把对宏观现象的关注转变为经验研究可操作问题这一难点、帮助学生了解如何找到不同的田野入手点和研究设计。
从结构上来看，这门课从对经典社会学的国家理论的回顾开始，然后探究三个主要的挑战民族国家中心主义的三种理论路径：以国际关系理论为代表的强调国家间关系的国际（international）讨论，以世界体系、世界社会以及现代性理论为代表的重于世界整体性分析的全球（global）讨论，和最近兴起的以跨国以及区域史学为代表的突出不同社会与社会以及社会与国家间互动的跨国（transnational）讨论。之后进入专题分析。这个部分每个学期都会根据上课学生的个人研究兴趣进行调整。比如过去曾经涵盖文化、移民、网络技术、环保、国际法等不同专题。这个学期则选择了社会抗争、知识网络、经济。最后一课请来全球与跨国社会学中的学者们进行方法和个人职业选择和发展的圆桌讨论。
