البنى الاجتماعية لا تقوم فوقنا – بل نُبقيها حيّة بأفعالنا اليومية، ويمكننا أن نغيّرها.

التموضع

علم الاجتماع والنظرية الاجتماعية · أوروبا الشمالية · المجتمع والتاريخ, السياسة والقانون

تسعى نظريته في التشكيل البنيوي إلى تجاوز التعارض بين البنية والفعل: توجد البنى الاجتماعية فقط فيما يفعله الناس، وما يفعله الناس يعيد إنتاجها. وصار لاحقًا منظّر «الطريق الثالث».

الموقف

Giddens first made his name by reinterpreting the classics – Marx, Durkheim and Weber – and then set out to overcome the split between theories of structure, such as functionalism, and theories of action, such as interpretive sociology. His theory of structuration, fully set out in The Constitution of Society (1984), holds that structure and agency are not opposites. Structures – rules and resources – exist only in being drawn on by knowledgeable actors, whose actions in turn reproduce or change them, often with unintended consequences: Giddens called this the “duality of structure”. From around 1990 he turned to the nature of late modernity. Modern institutions “disembed” social relations from local contexts and stretch them across time and space through money and expert systems, which we must trust without understanding them. Tradition loses its hold, and identity becomes a reflexive project that each person must keep revising. The Transformation of Intimacy (1992) traced the rise of the “pure relationship”, which lasts only as long as both partners find it satisfying. Politically, his “Third Way” sought a renewed social democracy beyond the old left and the new right – a programme that critics accused of accommodating neoliberalism.

الحياة والسياق

Anthony Giddens was born in London in 1938 and grew up in Edmonton in the north of the city, the son of a clerk at London Transport; he was the first in his family to go to university. He studied sociology and psychology at Hull and took a master’s degree at the London School of Economics. From 1961 he taught at the University of Leicester, where Norbert Elias was among his colleagues, and from 1969 at Cambridge, where he became professor in 1987. In 1985 he co-founded the publisher Polity Press. From 1997 to 2003 he was director of the London School of Economics and an adviser to Tony Blair’s New Labour. He gave the BBC Reith Lectures in 1999 and was made a life peer, Baron Giddens, in 2004.
