Foran’s sociology of revolution through the stages of evolution of his theoretical and methodological views and the works representing them. The trajectory of Foran’s sociology of revolution reflects in many respects the development of the contemporary comparative and historical sociology of revolution: from the fundamental historical research of a few classical cases to the quantitative study of an extremely wide range of examples and after that to the prediction of the ‘revolution-like’ events’ in future. According to Foran, there are three ways to consider the future of revolutions: 1) the analysis of the revolutions of the past, 2) the look into the future in terms of the existing theories, 3) the sources of sociological imagination. These three methods correspond to three stages in Foran’s sociology of revolution: after conducting the historical study of the situation and revolutions in Iran, the comparative analysis of 39 revolution events in the Third World countries and then an attempt to imagine patterns of future revolutions on the example of Zapatistas’ revolution in Mexico in 1994 and the struggle for global justice at the beginning of the XXI century. Despite the evolution of the subject and methodology of the theory, the concept ‘political culture of opposition’ remained the central category of Foran’s model. This complex notion describes such social process when under the influence of material and discursive elements the revolutionaries found out some common discourse that prescribed them to participate in collective actions to change their societies. Thus, Foran states that revolutions are the product of both structural conditions and human agency and the latter is due to both political-economic and cultural reasons. The cultural-structural character of Foran’s approach makes it relevant for the study of contemporary revolutionary events.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">В статье осуществлен анализ социологии революции Дж. Форана, представлена периодизация теоретической и методологической эволюции взглядов социолога, приведены и разобраны основные работы, соответствующие выделенным этапам. Траектория развития социологии революции Дж. Форана во многом репрезентирует развитие новейшей сравнительно-исторической социологии революции в целом: от глубокого исторического исследования узкого ряда классических примеров к количественному исследованию предельно широкого диапазона примеров и исследованию «околореволюционных» событий будущего. По мнению социолога, будущее революции можно помыслить тремя способами: 1) на основе анализа революций прошлого, 2) сквозь призму существующих теорий, 3) используя социологическое воображение. Этим трем способам соответствуют три этапа социологии Дж. Форана. За историческим исследованием зависимого развития и революций в Иране следует сравнительное (на основе булевого анализа) исследование 39 революционных событий в странах «третьего мира» и попытка представить образ революций будущего на примере сапатистской революции в Мексике 1994 г., а также борьбы движения за глобальную справедливость начала XXI в. Вопреки предметному и методологическому развитию центральным понятием теории Дж. Форана остается понятие «политической культуры оппозиции». Это комплексное понятие обозначает процесс, посредством которого под действием ряда материальных и дискурсивных элементов будущие участники революции обнаруживают общий дискурс, предписывающий им участие в коллективном действии, направленном на преобразование их обществ. Соответственно, социолог признает революцию результатом не только структурных условий, но и человеческой агентности, вызванной к действию не только политико-экономическими, но и культурными причинами. Структурный и культурный характер теории революции Дж. Форана обусловливает ее актуальность применительно к исследованию новейших революционных событий.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>John Foran</kwd><kwd>sociology of revolution</kwd><kwd>a social revolution</kwd><kwd>historical sociology</kwd><kwd>dependent development</kwd><kwd>political culture of opposition</kwd><kwd>postmodern revolutions</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Джон Форан</kwd><kwd>социология революции</kwd><kwd>социальная революция</kwd><kwd>историческая социология</kwd><kwd>зависимое развитие</kwd><kwd>политическая культура оппозиции</kwd><kwd>постмодерновые революции</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Карасев Д.Ю.
