socs-theory-dialogue

separate

Use to build genuine dialogue with classic and contemporary sociological theory for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — entering a theoretical lineage (stratification, networks, institutions, culture, action) rather than piling up recent empirical citations. Use when the literature review is a variable list, not a conversation.

When to use

• Building dialogue with classic sociological theory
• Building dialogue with contemporary middle-range theory
• Theorizing local Chinese experiences
• Reorganizing literature reviews by lineage, divergence, and unresolved issues
• Identifying theoretical actions like inheritance, modification, integration, or localization

When not to use

• Piling up recent empirical citations
• Creating variable lists without theoretical conversation
• Treating Western theory as truth to be verified
• Refusing generalization by only discussing special national conditions
