对暴力的分析是社会学的重要组成部分。尽管它有时被推到社会学的边缘,然而,暴力在日常生活和重大社会变化、人际关系和犯罪、治理和抵抗、国家之间的关系、南北之间的关系以及多种现代性的分析中反复出现。让暴力变得可见的新方法颠覆了关于暴力的性质和方向的旧观念;挑战了弱势群体比强者更暴力的假设;以及现代性越来越不那么暴力。关于暴力侵害妇女和少数群体以及全球南方的新研究有力地证明了将暴力作为社会学的一个核心问题。本文介绍了这一期《当代社会学》专著中的文章,将它们置于一个新的范式--暴力与社会。这些文章确定了暴力的特殊性,以及它对国家、文化和生物的不可简约性,同时概述了这一新兴领域内的相互联系。
The analysis of violence is an important part of sociology. While it has sometimes been pushed to the margins of sociology, nevertheless, violence emerges repeatedly in the analysis of both everyday life and momentous social change; interpersonal relations and crime; governance and resistance; relations between states, north and south; and multiple varieties of modernity. New ways of making violence visible unsettle old notions of the nature and direction of violence; challenging assumptions that the disadvantaged are more violent than the powerful; and that modernity is increasingly less violent. The new research on violence against women and minorities and in the global South makes a powerful case for the inclusion of violence as a core issue in sociology. This article introduces the articles in this monograph issue of Current Sociology, situating them in a new paradigm of ‘violence and society’. The articles identify the specificities of violence, its non-reducibility to state, culture and biology, while outlining the interconnections within this emerging field.
