单词 anomie
释义
anomie

Geography
  • The lack of traditional social patterns within a group; a lack of norms leading to conflict and confusion. In a study of second-generation British-Barbadians moving to Barbados, Potter and Phillips (2006) AAAG 96, 3 note that they are often thought by the locals to be mad. L. Wirth (1938) sees anomie as the result of urbanism; Entriken (2002) Geografiska B 84, 1 thinks anomie and multiculturalism are ‘two related, yet often competing, visions of modern society’ (but gives no more supporting evidence than Wirth).


Philosophy
  • A state of breakdown and chaos. The term is particularly associated with Durkheim, for whom anomie characterizes periods of loosening of social norms, when the loss of authority tends to release moral bonds, produce unlimited desires, and cause increased rates of suicide. Anomie characterizes social states and is not the same as the fundamentally psychological notion of alienation, although like that it may be a relatively permanent condition of fragmented modern societies.
