Organ As Symbolic Capital

In Bourdieu's “LA DOMINATION MASCULINE”,he breaks through the macro-body theory research model(such as traditional history,cultural factors,etc.),trying to build a miniature “La Société du spectacle” through specific male and female body organs It provides different biological-social practice places for masculinity and feminism,which can open up new understanding and practical possibilities for body theory.Based on the common role of representational biology and the socialization of biology,Bourdieu believes that the relationship between male and female body organs and sociology should be established based on the different ideological dimensions of naturalism and essentialism,and rethink that The basis for dividing the “naturalization” of gender structure and social structure,and discusses the situation and problems that body organs need to face after the society becomes more and more capitalized and symbolized.This paper attempts to take female “poitrine” and male “poitrine” as research and observation objects by interpreting Philip Roth 's Kepsh series of novels: “The Dying Animal”,“The Professor of Desire ”,and“The Breast”.The connection between gender structure,social structure and symbolic representation system visually presents the internal structure and problems of Bourdieu's body theory.By analyzing the relationship between famale “poitrine ”,male “poitrine ” and “sports”,Bourdieu's body theory is discussed in three aspects: Firstly,the connection between male and female body organs;Secondly,the relationship between male and female body organs and others;Thirdly,the connection between male and female body organs and the collective;these three aspects exemplify how male and female bodies use their respective body organs to trigger The “technical”issue of organs.Based on the above,Bourdieu introduced the concept of “symbolic capital”in physical sociology.He emphasized that male and female body organs can realize the problem of transcoding “capital”to “symbolic” by attracting social attention it can be understood as the transition from symbolization to specific and legal power.The capitalization of organs brings a series of risks,and how to deal with these risks is also an important part of Bourdieu's body theory.Bourdieu attempts to alleviate the technical and symbolic dilemma that body organs need to face to a certain extent by proposing the “pure love”compensation method.However,social theorist Giddens believes that “pure love itself is risky.”Therefore,the contradiction between body organs and “symbolic capital” remains unresolved.This article hopes to explore additional possibilities based on the discussion on “compensation methods”.By constructing the miniature “LA DOMINATION MASCULINE”,Bourdieu opened up the fog for the study of body theory and provided a clearer and “considerate” viewing channel.He combined the ideas of biology,sociology,sexism,etc.,analyzed the practical field of body organs,re-explained the natural and social attributes of body organs,and resolved the body by discussing the connection between body organs and “symbolic capital” The contradiction between organs and themselves,others,and the collective,Bourdieu provides specific social analysis theories and effective methods,and provides the possibility of recovery for the increasingly capitalized and abnormal body world.
