This essay responds to Peter J. Stein’s 2019 memoir, A Boy’s Journey: From Nazi‐Occupied Prague to Freedom in America, and his December 2020 essay in The Forum, “Biography, Trauma, Holocaust, and the Sociological Eye” (Stein 2020). Underscoring the resonance between sociology and literature, I use Stein’s work as a springboard for identifying four parallels between memoir’s capacities and sociology’s: (1) capturing the role and weight of contingency in human life, (2) offering audiences a window onto worlds they cannot experience firsthand, (3) cultivating “humane sympathy” (Abbott 2007), especially by probing “meta‐feelings” (Pugh 2013), and (4) fueling the imagination.

回忆录和社会学想象力1

本文响应彼得·斯坦的2019回忆录,一个男孩的旅程:在美国从纳粹占领布拉格自由,和他2020年12月的文章在论坛上,“传,创伤,大屠杀和社会学眼”(斯坦因2020年) 。为了强调社会学与文学之间的共鸣,我将斯坦因的工作作为跳板,来确定回忆录的能力与社会学之间的四个相似之处:(1)把握偶然性在人类生活中的作用和分量,(2)为观众提供一个他们无法接触的世界的窗口亲身体验;(3)培养“人性同情”(Abbott,2007年),特别是通过探究“元感”(Pugh,2013年),以及(4)激发想象力。
