2017年值得一看的英文社会学理论书籍：布迪厄、吉登斯、格X诺X特……
按：虽然到了16年年底，但大多数的2017年作品还没有发布出版社网站。所以只能现在可以看到的一些已发布了预售消息的社会学理论作品（多上只到4月份预出版），挑了一些想follow的（至少看下目录。。。）。
1. Martin, J. L. (2017). Thinking Through Methods: A Social SciencePrimer. Chicago; London:University Of Chicago Press.
芝加哥大学社会学教授J.L.M.的写作非常有风格。他是唯一一位以两本著作《Social Structures》和《The Explanation of Social Action》，获得两次美国社会学会（ASA）的theory section的社会学理论家。
——另一位是Sewell，是一篇论文（1996）和一本书（2005.其实1996那篇是这本书的一个chapter）。
《Sociological理论大缸》曾对《Social Structures》作过介绍，见第25期：Randall Collins书单：21世纪社会学理论的十大著作
谈他的风采，直接看他的照片先：
虽然这是一本教科书，是《Thinking Through Theory》（2014）的姐妹篇。他的文笔很犀利，也不乏幽默和黑人~。《爱尔兰社会学杂志》（Irish Journal of Sociology）对他有过一篇访谈，也不少犀利俚语。
又比如2016年的《Towarda Nightmare-Resistant Sociology》一文里第一段：
What Do Sociologists Do All Day?
American sociologists have a number of things in common. They find, or create, data. They focus on some parts of the data in some structured projections, often by comparing cases to one another. They interpret the patterns that they produce in the data. And then they develop stories about why certain things have happened. This is a reasonable way to spend one’s days.
The problem is that at night, they toss and turn, trying to banish from their minds a vision of the way the world may be, one that, or so they assume, would undermine all that they do in their daylight hours.
2. Wagner-Pacifici, R. (2017). WhatIs an Event? Chicago; London:University Of Chicago Press.
Wagner - Pacifici于2010年在AJS上发了一篇事件理论的作品，theorizing the restlessnessof event，批判和重构了William H. Sewell Jr.的事件社会学。其提出的政治语义学机制，是在2007年作品已有框架（《The Art of Surrender: Decomposing Sovereignty at Conflict's End》）中发展的。
从W-P的2015年作品《A Manifestion for a Quantum Sociology of Events》来看，可能是更进一步，发展出来新的框架，以此作为2017年这本书的导论，并且超出了2010AJS那篇的案例范围（911事件）。值得期待，她会给事件社会学带来什么新的冲击。
《Sociological理论大缸》此前介绍过，AJS2010那篇，见第34期：“事件社会学”读本（自编）
3. Benzecry ,Claudio, Monika Krause and Isaac Reed. (2017). Social Theory Now. Chicago; London:University Of Chicago Press.
芝加哥大学出版社还没看到预告，但在researchgate和参著的人CV里看到的目录。Reed的个人网站上写还在搞合同，看来要晚点出来了。
这种作品，每两三年都会出来一本书，多是handbook，由商业出版社，比如sage，springer来搞。但这本是Chicago大咖出版社，还是期待下吧。

5.Levine, D. N. (2017). Dialogical Social Theory. Transaction Publishers.
这本书是Levine的遗著。Levine于2015年过世，ISA的theory委员会的newsletter出过一期怀念内容，谈到这本书，并收录了前言，我才晓得。
据介绍，是希望将德国存在主义哲学家马丁布伯(Martin Buber)在《我与你》真正的对话(Genuine dialogue)概念带到社会学中。
6.Rojas, F. (2017). Theory for the Working Sociologist. Columbia University Press.
这位作者经常在orgtheory.net上发话。看到了他前不久吐糟这本书出版经历。Rojas这样说：
I have been thinking about this since I got a hostile peer review for an early draft of Theory for the Working Sociologist. In the first draft of the book, I began with a very uncontroversial stance. In the mid-20th century, Parsons attempted to unify sociology through structural functionalism. That was rejected and now we have a world of competing schools of thought. The book would then be a guide to the"post-Parsons" world. Even though no one disputed the truth of this approach, the reviewers thought it was horrible to bring this up. In a later version of the book, a separate reviewer went ballistic because I had "too much Parsons" - a total of 3 paragraphs out of 70,000 words! People were touchy.
