Bell，Daniel （1919— ） Bell is an American sociologist best known for his presiction that CLASS CONFLICT was nearing an end with the END OF IDEOLOGY and the emergence of the POSTINDUSRIAL and INFORMATION SOCIETIES organized primarily around technology and informationg.He later retreated somewhat from this postion with the observation of a funcdamental conflict among the values of economic efficiency，individual rights and wellbeing，and the hedonistic lifestyle promoted by advanced capitalist societies. Major works include The end of ideology （1960）；The coming of postindustrial society（1973）；and The cultural contradictions of capitalism （1976）。 Bendix，Reinhard （1916— ） A German-born immigrant to the United States，Bendix is known for his interpretation of the work of Max WEBER and for his work in comparative and HISTORICAL SOCIOLOGY，especially in relation to industrial society and its ties to the working class. Major works include Work and authority in industry （1956）；Social mobility in industrial society （1959）；Max Weber；An intellectual portrait （1960）；and Nation building and citizenship （1964）。 Benedict，Ruth （1887—1948） Trained first in English literature and only later in life as an anthropologist，Benedict made major contributions to the study of the relationship between personality and culture.Her basic insight was that each culture promotes the development of some human potentialsd to the neglect of other，and that people shape themselves in ways that tend to fit their cultural context.Culture is，in Benedict’s words，“personality writ large，”and societiescan be seen as integrated wholes of cultural forms and human beings.An accomplished field observer，rigorous researcher，and lucid writer，Benedict combined the humanities and the scientific study of culture in often powerful ways and left a significant legacy for the study of culture and perosnality. Major works include Patterns of culture （1934）；Zuni mythology，2 vols.（1935）；and The chrysanthemum and the sword：Patterns of Japanese culture （1946）。See also Margaret Mead，An anthropologist at work：Writings of Ruth Benedict （1959）。 Bernard，Jessie （1903— ） Bernard is an American sociologist best known for her work on marriage，the family，the status of women，communities，social problems，and public policy.It was she，for example，who first explored the phenomenon of “his”and“hers”marriages，recognizing that marriage has distinct advantagesfor men that are not shared by women.Especially during and following the 1970s.Bernard created a rich body of work detailing the nature of women’s lives in contexts ranging from the family to higher education.Bernard is also known for her expertise on the history of sociology as a discipline and as a cofounder of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Major words include Academic women （1946）；Women and the public interest （1971）；The future of marriage （1972）；The sociology of community （1973）；The future of motherhood （1974）；The female world in a global perspective （1987）；and The origins of American sociology，with L.L.Bernard （1943）。See also Women in sociology，edited by Mary Jo Deegan （1991）。 Bernstein，Basil （1924— ）。Bernstein is a British sociologist specializing in education，SOCIOLINGUSITICS，and the relation between language，knowledge and schooling on the one hand and SOCIAL CLASS and SOCIAL CONTROL on the other.In his theory of SPEECH CODES，Bernstein argues that social calss faects how students learn language in family and school environments，and this，in turn，affects their achievement potential and social class possibilities.His interest in language extends to a general interest in how class systems are maintained through control over knowledge and the language needed to access and use it in complex and creative ways. Major works include Class，codes，and control，3 vols.（1971，1973，1975）。 相关资料 |
