This article asks: What is, sociologically speaking, a beginning? And why has sociology so relatively little to say about beginnings, that point of discontinuity between past meaning and future meaning? We answer these questions in four successive steps. First, we suggest that the existing literature on beginnings can be organized in light of Lévi-Strauss’ distinction between the irreversible time of social practices and the reversible time of analytic models. We use this distinction in the next two sections as we review existing approaches on beginnings. The next section discuss works that have studied beginnings from the perspective of irreversible time. The following section analyses approaches that centre on the perspective of the reversible time of the observer, that collapse the two, or that distinguish them in purely methodological grounds. Building upon the foregoing, we advance a sociological conception of beginnings as a future-oriented duration involving a non-linear succession of temporalities.

重新思考时间的箭头:未来的开端和社会学

这篇文章问:从社会学的角度来说,什么是开始?为什么社会学对开始、过去意义和未来意义之间的不连续点说得相对较少?我们分四个连续步骤回答这些问题。首先,我们建议可以根据列维-施特劳斯对社会实践的不可逆时间和分析模型的可逆时间之间的区别来组织现有的关于开端的文献。我们在接下来的两节中使用这种区别,因为我们回顾了现有的开始方法。下一节讨论从不可逆时间的角度研究开端的作品。下面的部分分析了以观察者可逆时间的角度为中心的方法,将两者折叠起来,或者在纯粹的方法论基础上区分它们。
