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 "

一条通向和平宁静、阳光灿烂的地方,那里到处是花果,到处回荡着柔和甜美的歌声;另一条则通向黑暗无底的深渊,那里流淌着毒液而不是清水,恶魔肆虐,毒蛇嘶嘶爬动。

“这种独一无二的特性,使得每个人都与众不同,也使得每个人的存在都有其意义。这种特质,与创造性的工作和人类爱息息相关。一个人一旦了解他的地位无可取代,自然容易尽最大心力,为自己的存在负起最大责任。他只要知道自己有责任为某件尚待完成的工作,或某个殷盼他早归的人而善自珍重,必定无法抛弃生命。他了解自己为何而活,因而承受得住任何煎熬。”

布迪厄哲学社会学思想的代表作,读起来艰涩,非有一定的学术素养和英文功底肯不掉的一块硬骨头。书装帧质量好,纸质手感特别好。喜欢!
