一、關於這門課
從一方面來說，對於社會系新生，引介反身性社會學的概念或許太早；但從另一方面來說，在進入社會學知識養成的起始階段先進行自我理解，卻是為時不晚。希望藉由這門課，能夠帶領師生共學，並期待透過相互激盪、詰辯的討論過程，親身體驗社會學的迷人之處，同時觸發自身省思社會學到底是什麼的根本命題。
社會學是什麼？社會學的研究又是什麼？C. Wright Mills(1959)提出「社會學的想像」以標示出「社會學想像就是每個人將其個人處境關連到公共議題的過程跟努力」。不論是何種立論下的想像都不能抽離社會而存在，因為它們都與社會場址密切關聯。Bourdieu更抓住了場域(field)的概念，輔以資本的社會、政治與文化等不同面向，清楚勾劃出社會關係的多向性與政治性。加拿大的女性社會學家Dorothy. Smith(1987)在「問題化常民世界：一個女性主義社會學」一書中所創發，不僅做為一種「女性社會學」(A sociology for women)，又名「常民社會學」(A sociology for people)的建制民族誌，旨在揭露文本或論述，抑或是意識型態背後的權力運作過程，而讓身處在常民社會與日常生活中的個體重新去認識社會週遭的政治就是研究的核心，並且從參與者的視角進行反身性的自我省察，再提出批判性的分析與詮釋，行有餘力則由研究者成為倡議者的行動者角色。

1. About this course
On the one hand, it may be too early to introduce the concept of reflexive sociology to freshmen in the sociology department; but on the other hand, it is not too late to first understand themselves at the initial stage of sociological knowledge development. I hope that through this course, I can lead teachers and students to learn together, and hope that through the discussion process of mutual excitement and debate, I can personally experience the charm of sociology, and at the same time trigger myself to reflect on the fundamental proposition of what sociology is.
What is sociology? What is the study of sociology? C. Wright Mills (1959) proposed "sociological imagination" to indicate that "sociological imagination is the process and effort of each person to relate his or her personal situation to public issues." No matter what kind of imagination is based on the argument, it cannot exist in isolation from society, because they are closely related to social sites. Bourdieu also grasped the concept of field, supplemented by the social, political and cultural aspects of capital, to clearly outline the multi-directional and political nature of social relations. The Canadian female sociologist Dorothy. Smith (1987) created it in the book "Problematizing the Ordinary World: A Feminist Sociology" as not only a "sociology for women" (A sociology for women), but also known as "A sociology for ordinary people" (A sociology for women). People)'s institutional ethnography aims to reveal the power operation process behind texts, discourses, or ideologies. The core of the research is to allow individuals living in ordinary society and daily life to re-understand the politics around society, conduct reflexive self-examination from the perspective of participants, and then propose critical analysis and interpretation. If there is spare capacity, the researcher will become an activist role as an advocate.
