By the middle of the 1970s, a Max Weber revival commenced in American sociology. Almost 75 percent of the articles on Weber in the American Journal of Sociology published in the past six decades appeared in the 1970s and 1980s. The Weber revival in American sociology is a phenomenon observed in leading literature. New translations and publications are frequently indicated reasons for the renewed interest in Weber. Without dismissing this factor, it is not an entirely satisfactory explanation. This article accounts for the Weber revival in a new way. Taking the American Journal of Sociology as a case study, I argue that the Weber revival was a case of circulating knowledge. Certain historically set issues led to a reorientation of Weber, which meant that knowledge about Weber was moved, extended, and transformed.
到20世纪70年代中期，马克斯·韦伯在美国社会学界开始复兴。在过去六十年里发表于《美国社会学杂志》上关于韦伯的文章中，近75%出现在20世纪70年代和80年代。美国社会学界对韦伯的复兴是在主流文献中观察到的一种现象。新的翻译作品和出版物常常被视为对韦伯重新产生兴趣的原因。虽然不否认这一因素，但这并不是一个完全令人满意的解释。本文以一种新的方式来解释对韦伯的复兴。以《美国社会学杂志》为案例研究，我认为对韦伯的复兴是知识传播的一个例子。某些历史既定问题导致了对韦伯的重新定位，这意味着关于韦伯的知识被转移、扩展和转变。
