Abstract

Niklas Luhmann is one of the most contentious and difficult theorist in sociology but follow-up studies on his theory gradually increase for recent 10 years. The purpose of this study is to observe how follow-up studies use the difficult concepts of Luhmann. Unlike previous studies, this study adopted a keyword rather than an article as the unit of analysis because keywords are linguistic constructs that can make concepts observable. The study analyzed co-occurrence of keywords in 139 articles retrieved from social sciences category in Web of Science DB. The key findings were following: the most important keywords were the name of Luhmann(Niklas Luhmann) and theory(social systems); keywords were grouped into 4 clusters(social systems theory, systems theory, legal system and political system, the significant of Luhmann's theory from the viewpoint of the history of social theory); topic terms were systems theory, communication, Autopoiesis, risk, legal system, functional differentiation, environment, social theory, sociological theory, structural coupling, systems and evolution. The significance of the study is following: the study gives keywords as useful access point for beginners of Luhmann's theory; the study proves that content analysis by keywords network can be applied to trend analysis of difficult theoretical researches.

Niklas Luhmann은 사회학 이론가들 중 가장 논쟁적이고 난해한 학자이면서 동시에 근 10년간 후속연구가 증가하고 있는 학자이다. 이 연구의 목적은 Luhmann의 후속연구들이 Luhmann의 난해한 개념을 어떻게 사용하고 있는지를 관찰하는 것이다. 이 연구는 선행연구와 달리 분석의 단위를 논문이 아니라 키워드로 채택하였다. 키워드는 개념을 관찰 가능하게 만드는 언어적 구성물이기 때문이다. Web of Science의 검색결과 나온 139편의 사회과학 분야 논문의 키워드를 동시출현빈도 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 가장 중요한 키워드가 Luhmann의 이름과 이론의 이름이었다. 둘째, 클러스터링은 사회적 체계 이론, 일반체계이론, 법 체계와 정치체계, Luhmann 이론의 사회이론적 의의 등 4가지로 묶였다. 셋째, 핵심어가 'systems theory(일반체계이론)', 'communication(소통)', 'Autopoiesis(자기생산)', 'risk(위험)', 'legal system(법 체계)', 'functional differentiation(기능적 분화)', 'environment(환경)', 'social theory(사회적 이론)', 'sociological theory(사회학적 이론)', 'structural coupling(구조적 연결)', 'systems(체계들)', 'evolution(진화)'로 도출되었다. 이 연구의 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 핵심어를 도출해내 Luhmann의 이론을 처음 접근하는 사람들에게 유용한 접근점을 제공하였다. 둘째, 난해한 이론적 연구의 동향 분석에도 키워드 네트워크를 통한 내용분석이 가능함을 증명하였다.
