Richard Sennett teaches sociology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the London School of Economics. His recent publications include The Corrosion of Character and Respect in a World of Inequality.
The distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett surveys major differences between earlier forms of industrial capitalism and the more global, more febrile, ever more mutable version of capitalism that is taking its place. He shows how these changes affect everyday life—how the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what Sennett calls “the specter of uselessness” haunts professionals as well as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics is dissolving.
In recent years, reformers of both private and public institutions have preached that flexible, global corporations provide a model of freedom for individuals, unlike the experience of fixed and static bureaucracies Max Weber once called an “iron cage.” Sennett argues that, in banishing old ills, the new-economy model has created new social and emotional traumas. Only a certain kind of human being can prosper in unstable, fragmentary institutions: the culture of the new capitalism demands an ideal self oriented to the short term, focused on potential ability rather than accomplishment, willing to discount or abandon past experience. In a concluding section, Sennett examines a more durable form of self hood, and what practical initiatives could counter the pernicious effects of “reform.”
一开始读桑内特的书,还是在学校图书馆偶尔见到的,有关城市社会学的东西,那一本书是他的成名作——《公共人的衰落》,刚读时就恍若进入了一个神奇的世界,仿佛重新认识了大城市的本质,而由于那一本书是上世纪七十年代所写,后来桑内特就发展了他的理论,不过到了...
評分人的境遇是社会学家一直讨论的焦点。从马克思的人的异化开始,对工业时代人的境遇的讨论就绵延不绝,从梅奥教授在霍桑实验中看到的人从传统社区被抛到工业化洪流中的挑战,到《技术时代的人类心灵》中试图从生物学角度对人在工业时代的“焦虑”的解释,不一而足。 1960年代,...
評分《新资本主义的文化》 理查德·桑内特 著 李继宏 译 上海译文出版社 2009年11月(预计) 半个世纪之前,也就是20世纪60年代,传说中那个性交自由、毒品泛滥的年代,许多严肃的激进主义青年将矛头对准了各种社会机构,尤其是那些大型的企业和政府组织,它们规模庞大,结构复杂...
評分耶鲁大学邀请我描述新资本主义的文化,接受邀请之后,我不得不思考我这门特殊技艺的局限和那些主观调查所遇到的挫折。因此,我斗胆擅自为多年来我访问过的那些人充当发言人;我试图归纳他们的想法。在此过程中,我发现了一个此前未曾引起注意的问题,它可能是最基本的文化问题...
評分上世纪90年代以来,新技术革命与全球化浪潮带了一种被称为“新经济”的经济模式,新经济打破了被社会家韦伯称为“铁笼”的金字塔式的组织结构,以一种临时化、扁平化、非线性的柔性的组织模式取而代之,作者理查德•桑内特在书中要提出的,正是这个问题——铁笼打破后...
在新資本主義文化一書裡,Richard Sennett要說的是這樣的問題:當韋伯的鐵籠打開後,人們是否變得自由瞭?答案顯言不是這樣,作者認為,生產模式、僱傭關係,以至福利製度的轉變,責任消失、忠義不存、技能失效、一種不安的無用感彌漫,在新資本主義下要安生立命,最終還是靠自救,在公民網絡裡重拾穩定、在公共服務裡重建自信,在尊重技藝裡再顯責任與價值。
评分To be frank, it's a wonderful book, which sounds a little unacceptable and incompatitable to the mainstream of the country.
