ABSTRACT Debates whether communication studies should be housed with the humanities or social sciences have raged on for decades. In response to attacks on the humanities, we argue that the discipline has much to gain from seeing how the humanities contributes to the social sciences and the potential benefits of integrating humanistic and social scientific approaches. Specifically, we present two case studies that illuminate ways humanities-informed thinking has contributed to and benefited social science theory, method, and data. First, we review Jeffrey A. Bennett's Banning Queer Blood to illustrate the importance of reflexivity and practice when analyzing interview data. Then, we highlight how the philosophy of Mikhail Bakhtin influenced Leslie A. Baxter's most recent articulation of relational dialectics theory and development of contrapuntal analysis. Finally, we discuss obstacles and opportunities for engaging in transformative research.

颠覆人文与社会科学的二元体系：将传播研究定为一门变革性学科

摘要关于交流研究应该与人文科学还是社会科学融合在一起的争论已经持续了数十年。在回应对人文科学的攻击时，我们认为，看到人文科学如何对社会科学做出贡献以及将人文科学与社会科学方法相结合的潜在收益，该学科将大有裨益。具体而言，我们提供了两个案例研究，这些案例阐明了人本主义思维对社会科学理论，方法和数据的贡献和受益。首先，我们回顾Jeffrey A. Bennett的Banning Queer Blood，以说明分析采访数据时反思和实践的重要性。然后，我们重点介绍米哈伊尔·巴赫金（Mikhail Bakhtin）的哲学是如何影响莱斯利·A·巴克斯特（Leslie A. Baxter）关系辩证法理论的最新阐述和对立分析的发展。最后，我们讨论了从事变革性研究的障碍和机遇。
