什么是磁滞效应?布迪厄及其延伸(Strand&Lizardo2017)
按:2017年上半年刊出的期刊论文的“想读”list里,有17篇是会下半年读的(其它只放在“书架”上需时再读),现已读了9篇,其中有1篇读了一半放弃读不懂(讲Eco的语义学的~)。下面是这9篇中的一篇,其它已读的,也之前陆续推过了几篇,见页底。

一、基本问题:信念与现实:从一边倒到时间/过程/互动
在处理the relation between 行动者的beliefs and 社会的reality时,社会学理论常常会陷入两难困境:要么belief是被动的,反映和匹配外在实在以致陷入representationalism 、,要么承认belief是主动的,内在实在,现象学的,陷入mentalism。
什么是belief?
Micheael Strand and Omar Lizardo从布迪厄的分类入手,区分出和信念邻近的“倾向”、“doxa”,以之与“知识”相对立。
Important in this respect is that dispositions and belief are both distinguishable from knowledge...dispositionalism treats a representational content as incidental to belief : representations matter only as supports for belief-based predispositions to certain kinds of action. (借用Rylean dispositionalism)...doxa =common belief ..By using doxa we accept many things without knowing them ... as it posits a relationship of “acceptance” without a propositional content that is internally represented
进一步,Strand, Michael, and Omar Lizardo决定换个思路:如何理解行动者的信念和变迁着的环境/实在之间相匹配,生产出“想当然的”世界的时间过程?
二、理清相关概念:对接布迪厄
由此对接上布迪厄学说,二人认为,有四个子概念需要处理:
(1)The temporality of “action” results from the relationship between practical belief and the environment.
(2)Practical belief “shapes and canalizes” action with its own temporality, anticipating possibilities that may or may not match institutional patterns of the environment generated via a different temporality
(3)Belief-based action is thus dependent on the dynamic coordination between “subpersonal, personal, and extra-personal” processes supportive of cognition in the “extended” sense
(4)mismatch/match:they emerge as a regularity of linking the practical past with the contingent present in action
...
最后一个概念:错配/匹配,则是一个不错的入手点。因为布迪厄提出过“hysteresis”——相较上面那些概念, 这个概念是被后来的诠释者处理得相对较少的。
Hysteresis occurs within contextual environments that (as a rule) dynamically change at a faster rate than the practical belief embodied (e.g. “generated”) in the actor through interactions with past versions of the environments can anticipate
三、“磁滞”的布迪厄式概念及其再发展:词源、定义与类型
(1)Strand, Michael, and Omar Lizardo系统考查了磁滞概念的概念系,不仅仅是布迪厄
——词源:电磁学
The Scottish engineer and physicist Alfred Ewing(1885) is credited with resurrecting the term from Ancient Greek in order toexplain the persistent effects in ferric metals stemming from their temporary
——认知发展心理学:Piaget的儿童认知发展实验(儿童会误以为toy还像之前在那,但被藏起来了其实)
——早期的美国社会学:奥本海默的“文化滞后”理论(文化系统中的一部分落后过另一部分)
——布迪厄:1968年革命
布迪厄是怎么提出这个概念的呢?(其实很像aging and society分析~)法国在二战后大学扩招,但是学生们仍对高等教育与地位获得保持着原有未扩招时的期望,由此导致错配、落空,以致形成了1968的革命。
(2)澄清定义:
三个方面,包括(1)制度结构提供了时间历程的序列,如年龄角色;(2)实践中认知上的落后,以及(3)行动者无能更新自己的行动模式。
In what follows, we develop a typology of reflexives based on three systematicdimensions of what we call belief-environment coupling:
—— the relative presence of strongly structured institutional patterns providing a relational structure to the passage of time (e.g. orders of succession);
—— the relative perseverance of old practical belief within the temporality of practice after the recognition of mismatch;
——the inability to form new coherent belief in novel action patterns.
(3)四种类型:
——Traditional reflexiveness类型:旧观念已经打破,新观念尚未形成,新的社会时间秩序也尚未形成。例如英国资本主义初兴时,受到冲击和反对工厂化的手工业者
——Radical reflexiveness类型:旧观念还强劲地停留在相信社会是昨日的模样。例如68年革命的学生。
——Anomic reflexiveness类型:旧观念已经打破,秩序也已经缺席,但这些打破和缺席带来的后果很严重,比如“去工业社会”中失业的工人。
——Ironic reflexiveness类型:旧观念还强劲地在,旧秩序也还在,新的秩序和观念都没有出现。比如对对教育过度投资(相信会带来地位获得)的工人,仍是完成不了理应得到的教育期望。
