本文基于对45名“有闲阶级”女性的深度访谈及入户观察,就她们在日常生活中身体的呈现方式、身体资本的维护、操练和改造的特点以及在不同社会情境中实现身体资本向社会资本、物质资本和文化资本的转换展开了细致分析。本文发现身体资本的拥有量及重要性和经济实力呈相关,女性的身体资本是体现其个人及家庭社会资本的标志,并决定了其在性别权力结构中的地位。身体资本建构过程本身也是解读当下中国社会消费方式、家庭关系、阶层区隔的媒介。
<<Based on in-depth interviews and observations of 45‘leisure class’women,this paper studies their body presentation in daily life,the characteristics of their physical capital maintenance,practice and transformation,and illustrates how they metamorphose physical capital into social capital,material capital and cultural capital in different social situations. It has been found that the amount and importance of physical capital is directly proportional to economic status. Physical capital symbolizes their personal and family’s social capital and determines their status in the structure of gender power. This body capital construction process itself is a lens through which we can understand the consumption patterns,family relationship,and social stratification in contemporary China.
