本文认为，如果想象力对于社会学的地位至关重要，并且文学直觉是这种想象力的源泉，那么我们应该重新思考文学洞察力对于社会分析的价值。它回顾了文学与社会学之间不断变化的关系，并展示了社会学如何从文学中汲取灵感，作为理解社会世界的起点和激发社会学想象力的一种方式。通过将数字时代视为当前的变革时刻，重新配置了社会学和文学之间的关系，它阐明了社会学和文学所面临的挑战的影响。它主张文献在数字未来中用于社会学的有效性，并呼吁更多地反思联系的效用和范围。它断言，利用电子革命提供的机会，以文学为灵感的社会学研究方式是社会学的前进方向之一。
The paper argues that if imagination is paramount for sociology’s status and if literary intuition is a source of such imagination, we should rethink the value of literary insight for social analyses. It reviews the changing relationship between literature and sociology and shows how sociology can draw from literature as a starting point for understanding the social world and a way of invigorating sociological imagination. By framing the digital age as a current moment of change that has reconfigured the relation between sociology and literature, it illuminates the impact of challenges faced by both sociology and literature. It argues for the validity of literature for sociological use in the digital future and calls for more reflection on the utility and scope of the linkage. It asserts the literary inspired way of doing sociology, which takes advantage of the chance provided by the e-revolution, is one of ways forward for sociology.
