La obra de Andrew Abbott está asociada al descubrimiento de al menos tres procesos estructurales, que conciernen a las profesiones, a las trayectorias laborales y a la evolución fractal de las declaraciones de las ciencias sociales. Esas estructuras se encuentran afectadas por la contingencia, por el hecho de que “el mundo es un mundo de eventos” que relativiza, construye y reconstruye dichos procesos. Para el arte de la guerra, el evento como expresión de la contingencia y el desarrollo de las teorías de manera fractal constituyen igualmente elementos centrales. Además, este arte comparte con Andrew Abbott la crítica a los defectos del pensamiento.Abstract: The work of Andrew Abbott is associated to the discovery of at least three structural processes dealing with professions, academic trajectories and the fractal evolution of social sciences declarations. These structures often result modified by contingencies, by the fact that “the world is a world of events”, which puts into perspective, build and rebuild theses processes. For the Art of the War, the event as an expression of the contingency and the fractal-like development of theories also constitute central elements. In addition, this art shares with Andrew Abbott the critic towards thinking flaws.Résumé : Le travail d’Andrew Abbott est associé à la découverte d’au moins trois processus structurels qui traitent des professions, des trajectoires académiques, et de l’évolution fractale des déclarations des sciences sociales. Ces structures se trouvent modifiées par la contingence, par le fait de que le monde est un « monde d’effets » qui relativise, construit et reconstruit ces processus. Pour l’Art de la guerre, l’événement en tant que expression de la contingence et le développement des théories de manière fractale constituent également des éléments centraux. De plus, cet art partage avec Andrew Abbot la critique vers les défauts de la pensée.

Time Theory

Standard collective publications on European family history manifest large differences in their temporal structure. This article examines three examples from different countries and currents of research for the last five centuries. It discusses the question of whether, and to which degree, time theory can be applied to adjust and balance investigations of the domestic domain in the long run. For that purpose, this article uses the theoretical framework of US-American scholar Andrew Abbott. His work has provided important inputs for contemporary family research. Can we also use it for long-term investigations?

Agency And Structure

Consumer culture researchers need to acknowledge theoretical problems that can arise when ethical assumptions inform social scientific claims. To identify the origins of these problems, the sociologist Andrew Abbott has developed a framework to illustrate how social scientific claims are continually mapped and remapped onto rival moral perspectives. These perspectives are defined by the relative emphasis that they place on freedom and determinism, agency and structure. When consumer culture researchers attempt to diagnose or influence people’s political and consumer choices, they emphasize either one side of these dichotomies or the other. This article adapts Abbott’s framework to show how these differing emphases lead to different conclusions about the techniques that educators, social scientists, activists, marketers, and policy-makers should use to improve people’s political and consumer choices.

Il contributo si concentra sulla diffusione dell'approccio ecologico tra i sociologi urbani statunitensi, partendo dall'impressione che questi dedichino poca attenzione agli interessi e alle tecniche tipiche della Scuola di Chicago. Nella prima parte vengono ricordati alcuni autori che, negli ultimi vent'anni, hanno comunque utilizzato queste tecniche nei loro studi: Elijah Anderson a Philadelphia, Ruth Horowtiz a Miami e New York, Mitchell Duneier a New York e Chicago. Successivamente, l'attenzione si concentra sul Department of Sociology di Chicago, dove studiosi come Terry Clark o Andrew Abbott si sono dedicati molto alla storia dell'approccio ecologico. Tra i sociologi urbani, poi, Mario Small e Omar McRoberts hanno ripreso l'approccio anche nella ricerca empirica. Dallo studio emerge quindi una "sopravvivenza" della Scuola di Chicago e dei suoi metodi, ma č una sopravvivenza che pare limitata solo ad alcuni autori e alcune universitŕ.

This paper argues that quantitative science studies should frame their data and analyses with middle-range sociological theories and concepts. We illustrate this argument with reference to the “sociology of professions,” a middle-range theoretical framework developed by Chicago sociologist Andrew Abbott. Using this framework, we counter the claim that the use of bibliometric indicators in research assessment is pervasive in all advanced economies. Rather, our comparison between the Netherlands and Italy reveals major differences in the national design of bibliometric research assessment: The Netherlands follows a model of bibliometric professionalism, whereas Italy follows a centralized bureaucratic model that co-opts academic elites. We conclude that applying the sociology of professions framework to a broader set of countries would be worthwhile, allowing the emerging bibliometric profession to be charted in a comprehensive, and preferably quantitative, fashion. We also briefly discuss other sociological middle-range concepts that could potentially guide empirical analyses in quantitative science studies.
