摘要

在本文中,我们概述了生存社会学的基本假设和概念工具。首先,我们论述了人类生存的基本条件:生命的有限性和遭遇生存的不确定性是构建社会关系的基本经验。其次,我们概述了生存意义的创造和应对生活不确定性的能力如何依赖于权力资源,尤其是资源贫乏者可能会经历 "生存恶心"。第三,我们讨论了在特定历史时期,生存困境是如何加剧的。因此,研究个人的生存困境是研究特定时间和地点的主流社会问题的一种工具。第四,我们阐述了研究个人生命历程中转折点的重要性,因为在这些转折点上,存在意义--或缺乏存在意义--变得尤为突出。这包括理解死亡和重生在日常生活中以各种结束和开始的形式出现。第五,也是最后一点,我们强调一种分析方法,即从广阔的时间视角来构思人们的生活方向,在这种方法中,过去、现在和未来相互作用,并影响一生中的生活选择和构建的社会关系。

A sociology of existence for a late modern world. Basic assumptions and conceptual tools
In the present article, we outline basic assumptions and conceptual tools for a sociology of existence. First, we address man's fundamental conditions of existence: that life's finitude and encounters with the uncertainty of existence are fundamental experiences that construct social relations. Second, we outline how existential meaning‐making and the ability to cope with the unpredictability of life are dependent on power resources, where especially the resource poor may experience ‘existential nausea’. Third, we discuss how existential dilemmas may intensify under certain historical eras. Therefore, studying individuals' existential dilemmas is a tool to examine the dominant social issues at a particular time and place. Fourth, we elaborate on the importance of studying turning points during individuals' life courses, as existential meaning – or lack thereof – becomes particularly salient at these times. This includes an understanding that death and rebirth are experienced in the form of various endings and beginnings in everyday life. Fifth, and finally, we emphasize an analysis in which the direction of people's lives is conceptualized in a broad time perspective, where past, present, and future interact and influence life choices and social relations constructed during a lifetime.

期刊介绍: The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
