Abstract

ABSTRACT The control of important outcomes in academic accounting by the faculties of a small set of elite institutions has been well documented through a series of outcomes. Less is known about the processes by which this is sustained over time. This paper considers the advice provided to young scholars as one means whereby the social hierarchy is reproduced. Eight specific mechanisms are analyzed and found to bolster belief in the objective meritocracy of ideas in the discipline. Building upon the faux advice provided by Nathanael West's fictional Miss Lonelyhearts, the paper concludes that the stabilizing point embedded in the system is the necessity of people's acceptance of their own inadequacy.
研究咨询的社会建构:美国会计协会扮演孤独的心小姐
一小部分精英机构的院系对学术会计重要成果的控制已经通过一系列成果得到了很好的证明。人们对这一过程是如何持续一段时间的所知甚少。本文认为,向青年学者提供的建议是再现社会等级制度的一种手段。分析并发现了八种具体机制,以加强对学科中客观精英思想的信念。基于纳撒尼尔·韦斯特虚构的“孤独之心小姐”所提供的虚假建议,本文得出结论,该制度中嵌入的稳定点是人们必须接受自己的不足。
