结构与主体能动性：信息不平等研究的理论分野及整体性研究的必要

自信息不平等问题成为信息社会的重要课题以来,有关该问题的研究已经形成了若干理论类别.这些类别之分基本上继承了社会科学的传统分歧,特别是结构与能动性、宏观与微观之争.本文以英文相关文献为依据,剖析了信息不平等理论的主要分歧及局限,呼吁相关研究更多地采用整体性思路;通过引述当代最有影响的整体性社会理论(如布迪厄、吉登斯),表明整体性研究思路不仅符合信息不平等问题的复杂性和其作为重大社会问题的地位,而且符合当代最有影响的理论创新趋向.参考文献78.

Structure and Agency: The Theoretical Divergence in the Study of Information Inequality and the Necessity of Comprehensive StudyJournal of Library Science in China

Since information inequality became a critical issue of the information society and an issue of interdisciplinary concern,different theories about this issue have emerged.Fundamentally,these theories diverge largely along the traditional divisions in social sciences,particularly the division between theories that focus on social structure and those on agency.This paper analyzes these divisions and calls for an integrated research approach following contemporary thinkers such as Bourdieu and Giddens.
