For a long time,The sociological system constructed by Western countries around the Western discourse system has always occupied the mainstream in the international academia。Roland told this reporter,For centuries,History of the West is almost equivalent to world history。The construction of global knowledge ecology is based on inconsistency of cognition and hegemony of knowledge。

In recent years,With the economy represented by China, the economy、Social and other aspects of rapid development,Some scholars are trying to compete against Western sociological knowledge hegemony。They not only include scholars in non -Western countries,Also includes sociologists in some Western countries。These Western scholars actively participate in the actions that oppose and compete with western sociological knowledge hegemony,Study on cooperation with non -Western scholars。They want to expand the vision of Western sociologists through this cooperation research,Breaking the "Western Centralism" of Sociology。

Xie Lizhong told reporters,The concept of "Later Western Sociology" is proposed,It is to fight against Western sociology knowledge hegemony,The rise and development of non -Western sociology。But it is not simply taking this as the unique and final purpose,Instead, I look forward to achieving this goal,Equal communication between non -Western sociology and western sociology、Dialogue and even fusion will create conditions bet365 live casino games and opportunities,Promoting and promoting the healthy development of sociological knowledge including the world, including Western and non -Western society,。

Xie Lizhong Explanation,The so -called "post -western sociology" refers to the "post -" post -"post -" post -"post -" posture ",With "Western Sociology" spread and spread to non -Western society,A new type of sociological knowledge formed and developed by sociologists from Western and non -Western countries。This sociological knowledge system is no longer simply constructed by Western sociologists,Instead, sociologists from non -Western countries,Or jointly constructed by sociologists in Western and non -Western countries。It is no longer simply constructed under the guidance and constraints of the traditional Western discourse system,but in the non -Western discourse system,or under the joint constraints of the West and Non -Western discourse systems。At the same time,It is no longer just in Western language for the first time,Instead。As long as it meets one of the above conditions,It can be included in what we call "post -western sociology"。

According to this understanding,"Later Western Sociology" is not just a patent for non -Western sociologists,Sociologists in Western countries can also participate in the construction and development process of "post -western sociology"。In other words,"Later Western Sociology" is not equal to the sociology of non -Western countries。Sociologists in non -Western countries,Sociologists in Western countries,As long as the sociological research results it builds meets the above three standards,It can be attributed to the category of "post -western sociology"。"The formation and development of" After the Western Sociology "is not simply a career for non -Western sociologists,It can also be a career of sociologists in Western countries,Speaking more specific,It should be the common cause of the two。"Xie Lizhong said。

Roland told this reporter,"Later Western Sociology" relies on different knowledge processes,Among them, including the construction of "Western -style West", "African West", "Semi -Western West", "Eastern Oriental" and "Non -East -style Oriental", etc. "Western -style West", "African West", "Half -Western West", "Eastern Eastern" and "African Eastern" continuous system,The intermediary understanding process of partially transmitted sociological knowledge in these areas; distinguish between different sociology in Europe and the world、Theoretical tradition、Heritage and dispute,Jointly construct a hybrid sociology knowledge。In "Hou Western Sociology",Conceptual space passing methodology through methodology,Sociologists have achieved different time in the construction bet365 Play online games of field research tools、Location、Diversity of context and context,To realize the diversity of social narratives and their multiple meanings。Later Western methodology formed a kind of social science,But this does not necessarily mean a field survey in many countries,Instead of conducting field research in multiple different spaces and time。

 Integrate the sociological knowledge system of different paradigms 

It is worth mentioning is,Both Xie Lizhong and Roland are in favor,"Sociology" in "Later Western Sociology" should be a concept of plural,Sociology。Xie Lizhong thinks,The so -called "western sociology" itself is not a unified overall one of the iron plates,Instead, many theoretical systems (or paradigm、genre) composition。These theories are theory of social body、Basic theory such as epistemology and methodology is different or even very different,Empirical sociology of such as Kong De and Turkan、Weber's understanding sociology、Parison and others' structure and functional sociology、Schusk and others phenomenology Sociology、Synthetic Sociology of symbolic interactiveism of Made, Brumer and others、Social exchange theory of Hogmans and Brau and others。

"Same,Whether in non -Western countries,Still in Western countries,Scholars who participated in and built ‘post -western sociology’ s scholars in society, historical and cultural background、Different cases of discourse resources,Although everyone has the same goals in opposing Western sociological knowledge hegemony,But the sociological knowledge system finally built under this big goal,In basic theoretical presets and concepts、propositions and methods,It must still be different or even very different,As a result, the diversified ‘post -western sociology’ knowledge world。"Xie Lizhong told reporters。

Roland said,Sociology in Europe is very different from Chinese sociology。Many European sociologists show racial superiority,and rarely interested in sociology in other regions,and Chinese sociologists are different。Chinese sociologists in terms of paradigm transfer and integration,never showing a sense of race superiority,and resist colonial knowledge mode after resisting,and it is difficult for European sociologists to accept non -Western thinking。

Roland thinks,Based on a long Chinese civilization,Chinese sociologists have proposed many theoretical propositions,Make Chinese sociology multiple,These propositions include different structural processes、Actual action, interactivity and subjectivity。Contemporary Chinese sociology stands bet365 best casino games on Marxist position,Place yourself in a constructive and constructive constructivist platter,It corresponds to history、Culture background。Chinese sociologists have also created a new research model and sociological reasoning method,Open the concept space that Western sociology cannot foresees。For the past 30 years,If it is said to be in the French sociology,,Constructivism and interpretation opens research space for individual sociology,and become more and more prominent,So in Chinese sociological circles,It is the development of objectiveism and constructivism。

"Whether it is European sociology or Chinese sociology,We can all see a platter of different constructivists,Structural Constructionism、Critical Constructionism、Action Sociology、Interpretation of constructivism、Organization or strategic constructivism、Interactive constructivism and main body constructivism are located here。These two platters are still scenery、Contextualization。But,European sociology is more prominent in action sociology,Objective constructivism still occupies an important position in Chinese sociology。"Roland said。In the space constructed by "post -western sociology",Sociology knowledge of Europe and China,Existing and shared sociological knowledge,There are theoretical theories that each generated according to different history and traditions、Methodology gather here。

 "Later Western Sociology" attaches importance to dialogue and cooperation 

With the rise of colonialism after the 1970s,The theory of post -colonialism has also been gradually applied to the field of sociology,Born "post -colonial sociology"。But,Xie Lizhong thinks,"Post -colonial Sociology" theory more highlights the opposite and even confrontation between East and West,The concept of "post -western sociology" more highlights the dialogue and cooperation between East and West。

If "post -western sociology" is a fusion of Western and non -Western sociological knowledge system,Is it a "global sociology"? Roland thinks,"Later Western Sociology" is not a structural comparison of sociology,and look forward to the understanding of and knowledge、Agreement or controversy, and a cross -perspective related to scientific practice that is on the spot,So "Hou Western Sociology" can also be defined as global critical sociology。

"After the Western Sociology '' based on a large number of cross -knowledge and field research,To understand what the individual thinks in different situations。It does not use the sociology and European sociology in China or other regions at a viewing perspective、Bet365 lotto review Differences in practice and concepts to jointly produce new knowledge,Instead to make up for the gap between the two parties in these areas。and ‘Global Sociology’ still emphasize the border between countries or regions,This is the biggest difference between ‘Hou Western Sociology’ and ‘Global Sociology’。"Roland said。

As described above,"Later Western Sociology" is not limited to Western countries or non -Western countries,So "Hou Western Sociology" is not equal to "non -Western sociology"。But,Xie Lizhong added,"Sociology in non -Western countries" is not necessarily "post -western sociology"。Sociology in non -Western countries,Especially the early sociology of non -Western countries,Some research activities are actually under the guidance of "Western Sociology" or a very low degree of localization.,These research activities and its results,Cannot be included in the category of "post -western sociology"。

Xie Lizhong thinks,"Non -Western Sociology" can also be understood as the kind of "sociology" with a pure "native" nature,That is, non -Western countries in language expressions、Research objects、Concept usage、Proposition content and even research methods have completely completed the sociology of "de -Westernization" transformation。If so,So we can say,"Non -Western Sociology" in this meaning can only be one of many "post -western sociology" collection of non -Western countries,instead of all the "post -western sociology" that may be formed in non -Western countries,So it cannot be equivalent to "post -western sociology" in non -Western countries。

As for the connection between "post -western sociology" and "sociological localization" and "de -Westernization",Xie Lizhong said,"localization" mainly refers to people in non -Western countries according to their social and historical scenes and practice needs,Reform the sociological knowledge introduced from outside the West and other territories,Remove the concepts and propositions that are not applicable to local scenarios and needs,Make up to meet your own experience and new concepts and new propositions,Make it in line with the social and historical scenes and practice needs of your own country,To better meet your own needs for sociological knowledge。Therefore,"Localization" is just removed the parts that do not meet the local scenarios and the need for Western sociology such as Western sociology,instead of "anti/going to the West"。The concept of "going to the West" is "anti/going to the West",Regardless of right and wrong to equate "Western" or "Westernization" and "Non/Error" to deny and go,It is easy to promote people to the extreme "West/Non -West" binary bet365 best casino games opposition。Therefore,Compared with the concept of "Go to the West",The concept of "localization" is relatively gentle。

But Xie Lizhong also proposed,Compared with the concept of "post -Westernization",The concept of "localization" still has its own limitations。Because the concept of "localization" also contains a tendency to explore the differences with "West",Therefore, on the one hand, there is a tendency to lead to the "West/Non -West" dual -opposite,On the other hand, it is also easy to limit the effectiveness of "localization" sociological knowledge of non -Western countries in non -Western countries,intentionally or unintentionally cover or deny the universal potential potential of these knowledge。The concept of "post -western sociology" is while exploring and maintaining the difference between "non -West" and "West",Reserved the continuity and commonality between the "West" (whether it is from the West,Still from non -Western knowledge,All have their own local limits,There are also universal content beyond your own locality),Therefore, it will not move towards the extreme position that completely splits the two and opposite。

  The "Hou West" cooperation process of the international academia 

2002,Roland began to adopt a social science research between China and Europe for sociological research,This creates a transnational theory and empirical research。2006,She started researching in the Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences as a visiting professor,and realize that Chinese sociological knowledge is seriously underestimated。Therefore,She believes that it is necessary to re -examine the hegemony of Western social science from the perspective of China,First is to re -understand Chinese sociology that has been rebuilt since 1979。

Since 2006,Roland and Chinese scholars together outline the contour of the social science dialogue space in China。This cooperation revolves around the westernization of social sciences,Development of the thinking that surpasses the opposition between the East and the West and the binary。2012,Based on scholars' reflection on the sociology of the perpetrator for many years,Roland officially proposed "Hou Western Sociology",And sociological scholars from China and France have determined this statement after several rounds of fierce discussions。2013,The sociological community of China France established the "Sino -French Sociology and Field Research Laboratory",by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the National Scientific Research Center of France、Leon Higher Normal School Lead,Peking University、Shanghai University and bet365 live casino games Nanjing University assisted in establishing。Since then,Title "Hou Western Sociology" as the title,Social Sciences Social Sciences of China Law held many academic conferences and workshops,Perform field research together,Share research results,13 related works have been published so far。In recent years,This laboratory also invited Japan、Korea、Scholars from Bulgaria and other countries participated in sociological research from Western Perspective。January 1, 2021,The laboratory officially renamed the international high -level laboratory of "Sociology after the Central Europe"。

In the study of "Hou Western Sociology",Relevant scholars have shown "Western" and "Non -West" theory in the constructive dialogue、Share。From the cross angle,They have seen some problems between Europe and Chinese sociology sometimes continuous、Sometimes interrupted correlation。Roland thinks,Under this kind of close ecology,Local and local sociological theories will become more and more active,Fully mobilize these theories,It can create non -traditional or "different entrusted" knowledge classics。
