Difference,Distinction And Liberation

Pierre Bourdieu was an important sociologist in France in the 20th century.His research field involves many aspects of society,and his concepts of literary field,cultural capital,and symbolic capital have unique value for the interpretation of culture and art.This thesis focuses on his concept of "habitus",and studies Bourdieu's "habitus" theory with the logic of "difference,distinction and liberation".Under the theoretical view that"habitus" is unified,reveal how "difference" is given the meaning of "distinction" under the effect of "habitus",and then reflect on and liberate "habitus".The main body of the thesis includes four parts:The first part of the thesis specifically explains Bourdieu's "habitus" concept.It is pointed out that "habitus" is a retrospective concept,full of practical meaning.Habitus is also a relational concept.It is the cumulative product of relations.It is constructed capital and constructive capital.It also plays a role of migration and continuity in the historical connection of relations.Habitus is like a "trader" behind the scenes in cultural fields,and it has an impact on aesthetic intentions,cultural divisions,and speech forms.The second part of the thesis analyzes the value distinction of "habitus".An explanation is made on the formation of the value distinction of "habitus".And it is pointed out that habitus participates in the distinction of value hierarchy through the behavior of "determination of value scale",and at the same time,it is also distinguished under the "violence" of distinction.The establishment space of habitus value hierarchy is a space of power struggle.The habitus value distinction is also continuing in the symbolic struggle.The expression of discourse is also the transmission of the value tendency of habitus.The third part of the thesis focuses on explaining the "style of life" distinction of habitus.Regarding the formation of the "style of life",it is pointed out that the habitus influences the distinctive formation of the "style of life" in the way of "taste".At the same time,by the process of distinguishing "style of life","taste" shows its existence.The "style of life" that is "qualitative" by society also defines habitus behaviors and distinguishing characteristics.Habitus and style of life constitute a "connection" in the"capital factor",and together they define many systematic distinctions in the social space.The fourth part of the thesis mainly elaborates the reflection and liberation of"habitus".This part explains that "habitus" as a product of historical practice is a kind of"relational connection" constructed,with historical generation and openness.The reflection on habitus should be built on the historical reflection of the society.The liberation of habitus needs to be based on the reflection of habitus.Continuously liberate the "relational connection" of "habitus" in history and in concrete practice.Thus,at the same time,it's possible to liberate the distinction caused by habitus in historical practice...
