摘要
个案研究是包括社会学在内的社会科学的重要研究方法,但个案研究也面临着很多批评。人类学界围绕"微型研究法"、社会学界围绕"个案代表性"问题一直没有停止过争论。事实上,个案研究所从属的人文主义方法论决定了其并没有代表性的属性,但实证主义的强势以及政府决策部门的需求,导致了对个案研究代表性的刻意追求。虽然不必追求代表性,但这也并不妨碍个案代表性的呈现。当前,开展扎实深入的个案研究,有助于建构本土的社会学理论。
Case study is an important research method for social science including the sociology,but it's also facing lot of criticism.Anthropology with the "mini study" and sociology with the "representative case" have not stopped debate.In fact,the slave of the Methodology of case study determine its properties are not representative,but strong positivism,and the needs of Government departments,lead to the deliberate pursuit of a representative case study.While not seeking representation,but that does not prevent the presentation of representative case study.Currently,solid-depth case study is carried out to help build local sociology.
