Mustafa Emirbayer“比较历史社会学”课堂的五条“军规”

【公众号网址：

The Emirbayer Rules

一、请你们在教室里发言时专注于刚好当日要阅读或此前学期阅读到的作者和文本，也不要试图通过拽人名和书名来炫耀你们的智商，像维根特斯坦、阿尔都塞、黑格尔现象学。
让我们聚焦于此！

 (1) When you speak in class, please referexclusively to authors and texts we happen to be reading that day (or readearlier in the semester). Do not attempt to show off your intellectuality bydropping names or titles such as Wittgenstein, Althusser, or Hegel’sPhenomenology. Let’s stay focused.

二、请你们在任何时候都尽可能地回应你们前一位的发言，而不是甩一些完全没有关联的话。如果你“掉链子”了，那么就暂且老实呆着；我们稍后将会来“拉”你一把。
让我们恳谈于此！

 (2) Please try whenever possible torespond to the person who spoke right before you, rather than offeringsomething entirely disconnected. Let’s have a genuine conversation. If youaren’t able to maintain this continuity, then temporarily cede your place inline; we’ll return to you a bit later.

三、请你们的评论简明扼要。因为一些困难的文献而犯迷糊并没有关系，但是我希望看到的是，当你们的评论保持简要的同时，仍能将这些困惑有效地表达出来，好让其他人来回应你。
让我们对话于此！

 (3) Please be relatively succinct andto-the-point in your remarks. Let’s be dialogic. It’s okay to be confused whenconfronting such challenging material, but I’ve found that confusion can mosteffectively be addressed when your comments are kept fairly brief, so thatothers can respond.

四、请你们以一己之力完成所有的阅读，不要和小组同仁以分工方式来分享阅读作业。我会给你们每周的开卷测评，但这并不意味着你就可以将自己所分责的笔记进行有关咨询。

(4) Please do all the reading by yourself anddon’t share the reading assignment in a group division of labor. I’m lettingyou take your weekly examinations in an open-book/open-notebook format. Thisdoesn’t mean it’s okay for you to be consulting notes you’ve distributed amongyourselves.

五、多说一句：有时候，你们可能会感觉到很着急、很切需、很紧迫，可能会急不可耐。在这种情况下，立即举起你的双手，我（很可能）将会点你的名。不过，这一特权不能过度使用，（最多）只能每个学生在每次课堂研讨中使用一次。（顺便说声，我所说的“很可能”会点你的名，意思是有时候我会因要完全保持讨论推进的步调，而忽视你举起的双手。不是故意针对你哦！）

One further comment: Sometimes a studenthas a point to make that’s so urgent, so necessary, so compelling, that he orshe can’t bear to wait in line. If and when this happens, raise both your handsat once, and I’ll (probably) call on you. Don’t overuse this privilege. Let’slimit it to (at most) one time per student per class meeting. (By the way, Isay I’ll “probably” call on you because sometimes, in the interest solely ofmoving the discussion along, I’ll ignore upraised hands. Nothing personal!)
