Abstract: Academic field actually contains two societies: the society of scholars and the society of academic symbols. Pierre Bourdieu considers the symbols as scholars’s capital and analyses the influence of the academic structure, academic profits, and scholar’s quality for scientific research. Then he explores the subjectivity of scientific knowledge production. Different from Bourdieu, the paper considers the scholars as the life source of symbols and analyses the birth, growth, competition and reproduction of symbols. Then the study explores the formation, development and extinction of academic field on the case of crisis study.

摘要： 学术场域实际蕴含了两个社会：学者社会和学术符号社会。布迪厄关注学者社会，把符号看成学者的象征资本，从社会学角度剖析学者社会中的学科结构、学术利益和学者性向对科学研究的影响，从而探究学术场域知识生产的主观性。而本文则关注学术符号社会，以危机研究为案例，一方面把学者看做符号的生命源泉，从生物社会学角度剖析符号社会中符号的诞生、成长、竞争和繁殖，从而探究学术场域形成、发展和消亡的过程，一方面对危机研究中符号概念混乱的学术状况进行重新梳理，并试图将这些概念符号归入新的符号社会组织结构中。
