【内容提要】本文探讨了社会学如何接纳文化。研究认为，社会学从来没有真正忘记过文化，其对文化的接纳经历了从“无意识”到“有意识”，再到“自觉建构”的学科发展历程。在“无意识”阶段，文化仅仅是宏大结构叙事下的附属品。在“有意识”阶段，社会学家早先通过零散加入在欧洲兴起的文化研究而发声，这与欧洲学界集体的文化转向相伴随；之后，社会学自身的文化转向催生出了文化社会学与文化研究并置和纷争的局面。而在“自觉建构”阶段，若干文化理论流派的出现为文化社会学的学术繁荣、为文化重要性的提升提供了精良的理论工具基础。最后，本文认为文化社会学与文化研究存在联系，但在研究对象、学科及方法上有明显差异。

How Does Sociology Accept“Culture”? The Difference between Cultural Sociology and Cultural Studies

Abstract: This paper discusses how sociology accepts“culture”. Through reviewing the literature, this paper finds that sociology has never really forgotten culture.However, the acceptance of culture has undergone a disciplinary development from “unconscious”to“conscious”and then to“consciously constructing.”In the “unconscious”stage, culture is merely an adjunct to a grand structured narrative; In the“conscious”stage, sociologists had earlier made their voices heard through scattered participation in cultural studies emerging from Europe, which was accompanied by the collective“cultural turn”of European academia; Then the cultural turn of sociology itself gave birth to the conflict between“cultural sociology”and “cultural studies.”In the“consciously constructing”stage, the emergence of several schools of cultural theory provided excellent theoretical tools for the academic prosperity of cultural sociology and the promotion of the importance of culture.Finally, the paper believes that“cultural sociology”and“cultural studies”are related, but there are obvious differences in the research objects, disciplines, and methods.
