Abstract

This afterword argues for a narrow and analytically strong concept of brokerage, which is oriented towards the classical definition by Boissevain. His ideal type emphasises the agency of brokers who actively pursue their own interests and act at an equal distance to the groups between which they mediate. Furthermore, the text argues for thinking of brokerage as a bundle of social practices instead of as brokers in the sense of a social type. While few social actors are fully-fledged brokers, many of them engage in brokerage.

后记：经纪作为社会实践

这篇后记提出了一个狭隘的、分析性很强的经纪概念，该概念面向博伊西万的经典定义。他的理想类型强调经纪人的代理，他们积极追求自己的利益，并与他们调解的团体保持同等距离。此外，本文主张将经纪视为一系列社会实践，而不是社会类型意义上的经纪人。虽然很少有社会行动者是成熟的经纪人，但他们中的许多人从事经纪业务。

期刊介绍： Our Editorial Collective seeks to publish research - and occasionally other materials such as interviews, documents, literary creations - focused on the structured inequalities of the contemporary world, and the myriad ways people negotiate these conditions. Our approach is adamantly plural, following the basic "intersectional" insight pioneered by third world feminists, whereby multiple axes of inequalities are irreducible to one another and mutually constitutive. Our interest in how people live, work and struggle is broad and inclusive: from the individual to the collective, from the militant and overtly political, to the poetic and quixotic.
