摘要:

AbstractThis paper employs four classics of women's instructive literature and legal cases from late imperial China to analyze (1) the formation and development of Chinese femininity, and (2) the connection between gender‐role socialization and the social control of women. I conclude that neither Chinese culture nor Confucianism is sufficient to explain Chinese women's subordination. The Chinese patrimonial state, with its centralized propaganda and coercive legal control, also played an active part in forming Chinese notions of femininity and enforcing women's subordinate statu

摘要:

AbstractThis paper examines the practice of natural sciences in Ecuador during the nineteenth century. European visitors promoted science for objectivity and progress, and their work, though generally legitimated by the educated landowning elite, was not so readily accepted by other social groups. The language of scientific discipline is analysed as a potential form of cultural colonialism by focusing on the ways in which scientific discipline and discourse were first institutionalized by the Ecuadorian state with the help of Europeans, and then incorporated into public debate following a series of unprecedented political and natural crises in 1877.

摘要:

AbstractIn this paper Foucaultian theory is deployed to elucidate the significance of philanthropy as a channel of power through which artisanal culture was transformed. It is my contention that in the period 1797–1817 the transformative effects of war, government taxation policy and ‘trade adventurers’ upon London's artisanal culture were reinforced by the discourse and practice of philanthropy. In order to illustrate the transformative power effects of philanthropy two significant moments in the historical sociology of metropolitan artisanal culture are examined; the 1797 and 1817 crises in the clock and watch

摘要:

AbstractIn the context of an industrial revolution dominated by technological change and factory‐based production, nineteenth century Sheffield has been perceived as differing from the norm. Small workshops, numerous outworkers and the retention of handicraft skills have charcterised the cutlery trades until the present century and these economic structures are said to have produced a backward looking but independent and robust artisan class. In this paper we argue that the robust artisan was more a creature of myth than reality. We point to the critical role of the factor in the nineteenth century cutlery trade for an understanding of the slide of the little master into dependenc

摘要:

Abstract‘Why be quantitative?’Harold D. Lasswell asked that question several decades ago. His answer was: to take advantage of the rigor and precision that comes with quantification. Since then, quantification has spread across social science disciplines, putting qualitative approaches on the defensive. This paper examines the practices of quantitative sociologists in their study of historical processes. Much ritualism is found in those practices; much rhetoric in quantification. Alas, Lasswell's good intentions seem to have gone lost in a ritual called ‘hypothesis testing.’The author reflects critically upon his own practices and on the forms of quantification and the strategies of explanations that he has
