The Sum of Small Things pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

How the leisure class has been replaced by a new elite, and how their consumer habits affect us all In today's world, the leisure class has been replaced by a new elite. Highly educated and defined by cultural capital rather than income bracket, these individuals earnestly buy organic, carry NPR tote bags, and breast-feed their babies. They care about discreet, inconspicuous consumption--like eating free-range chicken and heirloom tomatoes, wearing organic cotton shirts and TOMS shoes, and listening to the Serial podcast. They use their purchasing power to hire nannies and housekeepers, to cultivate their children's growth, and to practice yoga and Pilates. In The Sum of Small Things, Elizabeth Currid-Halkett dubs this segment of society "the aspirational class" and discusses how, through deft decisions about education, health, parenting, and retirement, the aspirational class reproduces wealth and upward mobility, deepening the ever-wider class divide. Exploring the rise of the aspirational class, Currid-Halkett considers how much has changed since the 1899 publication of Thorstein Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class. In that inflammatory classic, which coined the phrase "conspicuous consumption," Veblen described upper-class frivolities: men who used walking sticks for show, and women who bought silver flatware despite the effectiveness of cheaper aluminum utensils. Now, Currid-Halkett argues, the power of material goods as symbols of social position has diminished due to their accessibility. As a result, the aspirational class has altered its consumer habits away from overt materialism to more subtle expenditures that reveal status and knowledge. And these transformations influence how we all make choices. With a rich narrative and extensive interviews and research, The Sum of Small Things illustrates how cultural capital leads to lifestyle shifts and what this forecasts, not just for the aspirational class but for everyone.

有趣的階級觀察。行文有自相矛盾的地方,能夠感到作者對詳實調查和敘事趣味化的堅持。

觀點並不新穎,方法論、理論和寫作方式和導師Sharon很接近,想要寫成通俗讀物。簡單來說就是文化精英早就不再以物質作為炫耀性消費,而轉嚮瞭非炫耀性的教育、醫療、健康、食物等生活/投資方式來鞏固階級基礎,“不自覺”地再生産瞭不平等。最後為瞭升華主題跳躍到瞭全球中産階級的崛起...

Emmmmm覺得作者把一篇論文就可以說清的觀點硬是翻來覆去水成瞭一本書
