The Analysis Of Methodology And Research Approach Of Postmodern Sociology Research

Sociology was born in the era of the scientific doctrine in vogue, and its research approach is greatly influenced by scientific ration too. It is basically the positivism orientation of dual opposition of host-guest, so in the time since Chinese sociology resumed and rebuilt over 20 years, the methods that the sociology research employed are mostly positivism methods too. However, because the emergence of the ideological trend of postmodern sociology has significantly impact on it, as to the research approach of traditional sociology which pursues the science, reason, objective, general and dual opposite methods, the research of postmodern sociology is devoted to deconstructing science and rational mythology, pursuing a plural one, value relevance and intersubjective method. Hence, It is significant to understand living world and obtain knowledge, and build the socialist harmonious society and sociology discipline.This study is based on a perspective of quasifoundationalism to discuss postmodern ideological trend brought toward sociology research methodology and research approach impact. The main point of view is: postmodern sociology research approach and modern sociology research approach have enormous differences on methodology, thus brought the different studying method, as well as the new opportunities to sociology study. Therefore, we must combine the two in sociology research properly to understand the realistic society.In order to meet the impact and challenge of research approach of postmodern sociology to the traditional sociology one, as well as to be favorable to the contrast of the two, this text describes the research approach of modern sociology at beginning, and then discusses thoroughly the sociological methodology that can be criticized by the postmodern sociology research in the positivism research approach and humanism research approach, from advocating the scientific doctrine and reason, persistent pursuit for general doctrine, objectivity and value neutrality, the inclination of dual opposition of host-guest to respect carry on in-depth analysis, explains its deep-rooted influence in modern sociology research, and describes research approaches and technologies under the influence of it simply.Secondly, to understand the social base better that sociology research approach change, this study describes the changes of the social structure on the basis of forefathers' research foundation since 1960s-1970s, and the change of social phenomenon caused by this, and then describes the transformation of sociology research approach from this angle, such as the research approach of phenomenological sociology and ethnomethodology.Thirdly, on the basis of analysis on research approach of modern sociology, this thesis deeply analyze the methodologies pursued by the research of postmodern sociology from antiscientific doctrines, against reason the highest, anti-essential doctrine, anti-generally, anti-center theory and for difference, part emphasizes, surmount by individual doctrines, emphasize the relation between individuals and denying objectivity of sociology research, emphasize the pursuit to value and meaning.Fourthly, the author concretely analyzes some research method and research technologies of postmodern sociology studying, by analysis of postmodern sociology methodology that study inclined to the impact on sociology research method and research technology. Such as Perre Bourdieu's relation research approach, Michel Foucault's archaeology and genealogy method and his inclination to qualitative research approach, which emphasize the function of "language" and talking technology, history in phenomenon turn into and the perspective of "deconstruct ".Last but not least, basing the quasifoundationalism, this study slightly discusses the evaluation criterion of postmodern sociology research, and points out that sociology research must combine modern sociology research approach with postmodern sociology research approach, take the road to a new research approach. As follows: firstly, in sociology research, science with no science, reason with irrational must combine together, coexist and complement one another at the same time; Secondly, observing and studying social must fetch a many degrees and visual angles to replace the single visual angle; Thirdly, sociology research must realize that it can't refuse the meaning to pursue in sociology research, but it should avoid chip in the meaning; Fourthly, we must pay attention to the particularity and Merging of method in research approach and technology, and supplement each other at materials collection and analysis at the same time.
