Literary Research

Sastra sering dipandang sebagai cerminan masyarakat. Maka, penelitian sastra juga membutuhkan berbagai teori yang berhubungan dengan perilaku masyarakat. Salah satu teori yang dapat digunakan untuk kerja penelitian ini adalah teori yang dikemukakan oleh Pierre Bourdieu. Penekanan utama Bourdieu adalah upaya membongkar relasi-relasi kuasa yang ada dalam masyarakat. Ia kemudian memperkenalkan konsep habitus, field, dan kapital untuk membongkar relasi-relasi kuasa tersebut. Dalam tulisan ini akan diuraikan secara garis besar mengenai konsep-konsep tersebut agar diperoleh gambaran sebagai upaya penerapan teori ini dalam karya sastra.

Temporal Organisation

The practice turn in social theory has renewed interest in conceptualising the temporal organisation of social life as a way of explaining contemporary patterns of living and consuming. As a result, the interest to develop analyses of time in both practice theories and practice theory-based empirical research is increasing. Practice theorists draw on theories of time and ideas about temporal rhythms to explain how practices are organised in everyday life. To date, they have studied how temporal experiences matter for the coordination of daily life, how temporal landscapes matter for issues of societal synchronisation, and how timespace/s matter for the organisation of human activity. While several studies refer to, draw on, and position themselves in relation to ideas about temporal rhythms, those working with theories of practice have yet to fully utilise the potential of Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis for explaining the constitution of, and more specifically, changes within, social life. I argue that rhythmanalysis can be effectively combined with practice theory to better articulate the ways in which practices become connected through what I describe as processes of institutionalisation. I argue that this combination requires repositioning the role of time in theories of practice as neither experience, nor as landscape, but, building on Schatzki’s work on The Timespace of Human Activity, as practice itself. Drawing on Lefebvre’s concepts of arrhythmia and eurhythmia, and developing Parkes and Thrift’s notion of entrainment, I illustrate how institutional rhythms, as self-organising, open, spatiotemporal practices emerge, endure, and evolve in ways that matter for both socio-temporal landscapes and temporal experiences.

Anthony Giddens

A central issue in the social sciences today is the analysis of complex society, and topics like globalization, identity and self-identity, transformation of self and collective action become more and more important in social theory. This article intends to show (a) how the diagnosis of complexity affects the constitution of the topics at the heart of social theory and (b) what its major implications are from a theoretical and epistemic standpoint. Alberto Melucci and Anthony Giddens being among the most representative social scientists in this field, I examine each one's approaches and argue that we are in the presence of an “existential turn” in social theory.

O objetivo do artigo é debater o quadro teórico-metodológico de análise da vida social formulado por Pierre Bourdieu e Anthony Giddens. Embora esses autores neguem a denominação de pós-estruturalistas, busca-se aproximar os pressupostos teóricos à vertente filosófica/sociológica, contribuindo ao debate da teoria social contemporânea. Após debater acerca da definição e conceitualização do movimento pós-estruturalista, em um segundo momento analisa-se a teoria social de Pierre Bourdieu, buscando destacar suas possíveis aproximações teóricas/filosóficas com o movimento. Posteriormente, é destacada a teoria da estruturação e a possibilidade de proximidade teórica de Anthony Giddens com a perspectiva pós-estruturalista. Conclui-se que seus elementos epistemológicos, metodológicos e teóricos estão muito mais próximos de uma perspectiva pós-estruturalista do que qualquer outra vertente do pensamento sociológico.
