消费文化中的身份建构与审美诉求——以凡勃伦的《有闲阶级论》为研究对象

Identity Construction and Aesthetic Appeal in Consumer Culture——Take Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class as the Research Object

凡勃伦在《有闲阶级论》一书中对有闲阶级的消费文化进行了细致地研究。有闲阶级的消费生活始终进行在有闲准则和荣誉原则指导之下,其消费文化主要集中表现在身份建构与审美诉求两个方面,两者建立在明显消费与明显有闲基础之上。

Veblen carefully studied in his Theory of the Leisure Class the consumer culture of the leisure class,whose consumption life is consistantly under the guidance of leisure standards and the principle of honor and whose consumer culture is mainly embodied in identity construction and aesthetic appeal, both of which are built on the basis of apparent consumption and obvious leisure.
