摘要
在社会科学领域真正开创了个案研究最初范例的当推马林诺夫斯基。个案研究的广泛应用,打破了社会科学领域量化研究一统天下的局面。个案研究在取得了丰硕的学术成果的同时,也受到了一些批评。个案研究如何获得对更大范围事实的认知,如何获得更具一般性的理论概括,如何摆脱样本结论不能推论总体的困境,归根结底,就是个案研究意义何在的问题。文章在回顾个案研究发展史的基础上,试图从费孝通的类型比较法、格尔兹的深描说与赫克索恩的被访者驱动抽样三个方面对上述问题进行回答。即使在科学主义思维的笼罩下,个案研究也有"春天"。
Malinowski is the founder of the case study paradigm in social sciences. With the extensive application of the case study,the dominance of the quantitative research in social sciences has been broken. Despite its fruitful academic achievements,the case study has also met with some criticism？. How to attain a wider fact cognition？ How to gain a more general theoretical generalization？ And how to remove the plight of the sample conclusion＇s inability to infer the total？ All these are,in the final analysis,issues concerning the significance of the case study. On the basis of tracing the history of case studies,this paper attempts to answer the above questions from the perspectives of Fei Xiaotong＇s typological comparison method,Geertz＇s profound description theory and Heckathorn＇s respondent-driven sampling. The case study can also enjoy a＂promising＂prospect even under the shadow of scientism.
