从吴文藻在 20 世纪六七十年代的学术阅读看中国社会学重建的根基
examines his academic readings in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as his academic
work and interactions with Pan Guangdan, Fei Xiaotong, Lin Yaohua, and other
scholars during this period. The paper argues that, the restoration and
reconstruction of Chinese sociology did not take place on a blank slate. Despite the
abolishment of sociology and severe disruptions to their personal lives and well鄄
being, Wu Wenzao and other scholars, as a community, continued to engage in
academic readings in the 1960s and 1970s. This allowed them to keep pace with the
global development of disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, and ethnology
and enabled them to gain a firm grasp of the mainstream trends and classic works of
social sciences worldwide. Moreover, academic exchanges with overseas scholars in
the 1970s helped them gain a deeper understanding of the developments of global
social sciences. All these factors served as the academic spark and fundamental
conditions for the reconstruction of Chinese sociology.
More importantly, over many years, Wu Wenzao and Fei Xiaotong maintained
the academic community established during the Yanjing period. The strategies that
Wu Wenzao employed in developing the “Yanjing School” and the maintenance of
this community became the implicit foundation for the reconstruction of Chinese
sociology.
This paper employs Michel Foucault's method of archaeology of knowledge to
explore the readings of scholars represented by Wu Wenzao during the period when
sociology was banned in China. This study finds that the starting point of the
standard narrative of sociology’s reconstruction resembles more a“turning point” of
knowledge and power: after this starting point, previously silent knowledge began
to emerge from history, regaining space and power. Consequently, the readings of
Wu Wenzao became a peculiar “prehistory”:highly foresighted and preparatory,
they provided the conditions, perspectives, historical experiences, and numerous
possibilities for the reconstruction of sociology led by Fei Xiaotong and the
construction of a renewed body of social scientific knowledge.
