内容简介
· · · · · ·
No judgement of taste is innocent. In a word, we are all snobs. Pierre Bourdieu brilliantly illuminates this situation of the middle class in the modern world. France’s leading sociologist focusses here on the French bourgeoisie, its tastes and preferences. Distinction is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind. In the course of everyday life people constantly choose between what they find aesthetically pleasing and what they consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Bourdicu bases his study on surveys that took into account the multitude of social factors that play a part in a Frenchperson’s choice of clothing, furniture, leisure activities, dinner menus for guests, and many other matters of taste. What emerges from his analysis is that social snobbery is everywhere in the bourgeois world. The different aesthetic choices people make are all distinctions-that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu finds a world of social meaning in the decision to order bouillabaisse, in our contemporary cult of thinness, in the “California sports” such as jogging and cross-country skiing. The social world, he argues, 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. The topic of Bourdieu’s book is a fascinating one: the strategies of social pretension are always curiously engaging. But the book is more than fascinating. It is a major contribution to current debates on the theory of culture and a challenge to the major theoretical schools in contemporary sociology.

评论 ······
终于做完13k+笔记。量性双管齐下，实验设计妙而准，事例又丰沛，诚意与活力贯穿研究；但内容却残忍、尖利、无望，从艺术品位解构开来，逐渐过渡至衣食住行教育政治，世界是个大剧场，我们的戏装早在出生前就由祖辈裁好了。底层自我退场，中产与知识分子世代爬坡焦虑、过度用力表演，上层闭门自居，爱、乐、美、自由，都是尸体上的浮风。鲜血的斑点沾上了每一页诗书，一小尊缪斯像，立身在无穷铺展的苦难荒原上。法国昨日恰等于…
当时我就震惊了系列
布迪厄的装逼指南。
终于看到了一个不那么居高临下的马克思学者，有实践调查精神，但格局太窄，把文化分类归纳于社会阶级分类法之下的做法实在是粗糙，角度受限严重。
