食品消费:身份建构的符号资本——以20世纪90年代以来的农民工题材小说为例

Food Consumption:Symbolic Capital of Identity Construction

20世纪90年代以来的农民工题材小说中,人物饮食中不同的习性、方式和观念,超出了食物本身的物理性因素,构成了不同主体的自我身份认同和社会身份建构的符号文本。通过这个"文本"可以区隔农民工和城市上层人士的不同身份和地位。《高兴》等小说所体现的吃素嗜荤和吃素弃荤的饮食观念,分别表征着农民工和城市人士的身份地位和社会地位。

Different dietary habits, styles and concept have become symbols for self-identity and social identity of different social status in the migrant labors novels since 1990s. The difference in social identities and status between the labors and the urban upper classes can be seen easily through these symbolic texts. Dietary concept on eating vegetables or meat embodied in the novels such as ＂Happy＂ is completely different and so represents social status of migrant labors and the urban, respectively.
