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.

读此书本来是想学点社会学方法，读完才发现能学的只是二流学者的著作，真正的大牛所用的手法是只能望洋兴叹而学不了的。此书没有完全读懂，因为比较啰嗦，而且布尔迪厄太喜欢造新词了，什么allodoxia、trajectory effect，读半天才搞懂是什么意思，所以第一遍根本不可能完全理解。

核心观点基本就是“不要客观主义也不要主观主义” 但案例实操太好看了……好多地方都忍不住拍大腿叫好……

一刷 社会学的同学大概很喜欢第二部分 个人偏好一三部分 结尾也很棒 出版社的intro也无可挑剔 除了写作方式有点晦涩之外没有槽点
