内容简介
No judgement of taste is innocent - we are all snobs. Pierre Bourdieu’s Distinction brilliantly illuminates the social pretentions of the middle classes in the modern world, focusing on the tastes and preferences of the French bourgeoisie. First published in 1979, the book is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind. In the course of everyday life we constantly choose between what we find aesthetically pleasing, and what we consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu demonstrates that our different aesthetic choices are all distinctions - that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. This fascinating work argues that the social world functions simultaneously as a system of power relations and as a symbolic system in which minute distinctions of taste become the basis for social judgement.

精彩书评
Bourdieu's analysis transcends the usual analysis of conspicuous consumption in two ways: by showing that specific judgments and chokes matter less than an esthetic outlook in general and by showing, moreover, that the acquisition of an esthetic outlook not only advertises upper-class prestige but helps to keep the lower orders in line. In other words, the esthetic world view serves as an instrument of domination. It serves the interests not merely of status but of power. It does this, according to Bourdieu, by emphasizing individuality, rivalry, and 'distinction' and by devaluing the well-being of society as a whole.--Christopher Lasch "Vogue "

布迪厄(Pierre Bourdieu)则处于一个与凡勃伦迥异的时代。在这一时期,发达资本主义国家的现代化早已完成,社会产品极大丰富,资本主义发展中的诸多矛盾与问题也日益暴露出来。社会发展进入一个新的转型时期。对于这一新的时代,不同的学者给予了不同的表述。吉登斯称之为“高度现代性社会”或“晚期现代性社会”;鲍曼称之为“后现代社会”;丹尼尔.贝尔称之为“后工业社会”。布迪厄则在整合Karl.马克思Marx.韦伯、康德等学者观点的基础上写出了《区隔:关于品味判断的社会批判》(1984)。布迪厄认为现代社会是一个分化的社会,社会的分化必须从经济资本与文化资本这两个纬度来进行考察(见图一)。在这一全新的时代大众的日常生活日趋审美化[1],生活方式(ways of life)的追求让位于生活风格(lifestyle)的选择[2]。人们在日常生活中的消费斗争实际上成为寻求区隔(distinction)的而展开符号斗争。尽管布氏并未明确提出“炫耀性消费”的概念,但实际上从《区隔》中我们随处可以看到炫耀性消费的实例,只不过炫耀的手法不同罢了。
