Abstract

In this article, I argue that Smith’s continued relevance coincides with more recent retrievals of Marx-inspired materialism. This materialism and the associated understanding of human beings—the social, language, and world people share in common—certainly do not capture all there is to say about Smith’s eclectic and expansive social theory. However, the material dimension distinguishes her work from many other feminist sociologies and results in her continued relevance as a thinker who brings to the table another way of doing feminist sociology. I illustrate this by showing how Smith’s Marx-inspired materialism and its associated understanding of language offer a productive and timely alternative to the feminist social theory of anti-categorical intersectional theory and new materialist theory.
找回唯物主义:多萝西·史密斯的持续相关性
在本文中,我认为斯密的持续相关性与最近对马克思启发的唯物主义的检索不谋而合。这种唯物主义和与之相关的对人类的理解——社会的、语言的和世界上的人所共有的——当然并没有捕捉到斯密的折衷主义和广泛的社会理论的全部内容。然而,物质维度将她的作品与许多其他女性主义社会学区分开来,并导致她作为一名思想家继续存在,她提出了另一种研究女性主义社会学的方式。我通过展示史密斯的马克思主义唯物主义及其对语言的相关理解如何为反分类交叉理论和新唯物主义理论的女权主义社会理论提供了一个富有成效和及时的选择来说明这一点。
