內容簡介

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.

作者簡介

Pierre Bourdieu (1930–2002) was one of France’s leading sociologists. Champion of the anti-globalization movement, his work spanned a broad range of subjects, from ethnography to art, and education to television.

精彩書評

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 "

前言/序言

美並不是一種需求，而是一種狂喜。她不是乾渴的嘴唇，也不是伸齣的空手，而是一顆滾燙的心，一個愉悅的靈魂；她不是你們想看到的樣子，也不是你們想聽到的樂麯，而是你們雖閉上眼睛也能看到的樣子，雖掩住耳朵也能聽。

那麼，人們趨之若騖的追求炫耀性消費到底是為瞭什麼？凡勃倫認為，這是榮譽準則、競爭本能在起作用。人們為瞭在社會上獲得地位與身望，隻有通過消費商品（或服務）——來證明自己的支付能力以達到與他人的歧視性對比的目的。通過這種歧視性對比，他們可以保護或者提高他們的尊嚴。在社會分化加大、流動性增強的情況下炫耀性的有閑已不可能，因而凡勃倫提齣“炫耀性消費”這一概念來解釋當時的金錢競賽。布迪厄則認為，人們的消費是在一定的場域下進行的，是消費者調動資源（包括經濟資本、社會資本、文化資本、符號資本）以達到將自己與其他消費者區隔開來的行為。同時，消費者的消費行為又受製於消費者長久以來所形成的性情傾嚮（disposition）即慣習（habitus）的影響。可以這麼說，日常生活中的每一次消費行為都涉及一場符號鬥爭，都是一場為尋求區隔而進行的鬥爭。通過這種符號鬥爭，消費者可以確立其獨特的地位與認同感。

大浪淘沙，留下來的最終是黃金和鑽石。但是，這種淘洗是殘酷的，文學的厚土之下，可能有許多黃金和鑽石，永遠地被遺忘和埋沒著。

單純是靈魂中一種正直無私的品質，與真誠比起來，單純顯得更高尚，更純潔。
