评《消费文化学》

文化是发展的摇篮，是一个民族的灵魂，提高消费中的文化含量，就提高了消费层次和消费质量，从根本上提高人的素质。这是尹世杰教授在其新著《消费文化学》一书中所阐述的观点。该书由湖北人民出版社出版。尹世杰教授通过十多年来对于消费经济学的研究，认为市场经济越发展，消费文化问题越重要，并进一步提出要把消费文化作为一门新的独立学科进行研究，探索其作用、发展趋势和内在规律。

The Journalist as ＂Audience＂ and ＂Worker＂： Results of Empirical Research With Freelance Journalists of S^o Paulo

This article presents the results of empirical research with freelance journalists from the city of Sao Paulo, involving quantitative and qualitative research methods and the theoretical-methodological from the Reception Studies and Ergology. It is a theoretical and empirical approach, whose developments have been used by the Communication and Work Research Group of Communications and Arts School--University of SAo Paulo, Brazil. The reception from the world of work shows how changes in the labor act concretely in daily life subjectively and how they manifest in the sphere of cultural consumption. The research shows how, from the reception, the journalists reveal from which place they talk about the world, the society, and their own work. The reception is revealed as the moment par excellence ＂to talk about work＂. When talking about the other＇s work, the journalists are confronted with their own work and reveal, in their discourse, values and dramas of real activity of communication and work.
