This paper adds to the literature on cultural stratification by revisiting cultural voraciousness, nearly two decades after it was first introduced as a measure of cultural participation designed to capture inequalities in the pace and variety of cultural activities. Specifically, using the UK 2014–15 Time Use Survey, we compare measures of cultural voraciousness in the UK in 1998 and 2015, focussing in particular on the way cultural voraciousness is associated with both gender and class. We find continuity over time in the patterns of relationship between cultural voraciousness, gender and class, which are not explained by income or hours worked. While women at the bottom of the class scale are still the most disadvantaged in terms of unequal access to cultural participation, high level managerial women now equal equivalent men in their voracious cultural participation. We conclude that not only is cultural voraciousness still useful in depicting cultural inequalities delineated by gender and class, and not only do gender and class gaps in cultural voraciousness persist over time, but also that there is evidence for accentuated class inequality over time in cultural voraciousness among men and among women.

英国的文化分层：文化贪婪中持续存在的性别和阶级差异

本文通过重新审视文化贪婪增加了关于文化分层的文献，这是在它首次作为一种文化参与的衡量标准被引入，旨在捕捉文化活动的速度和多样性方面的不平等之后近 20 年。具体来说，使用英国 2014-15 年时间使用调查，我们比较了 1998 年和 2015 年英国文化贪婪的衡量标准，特别关注文化贪婪与性别和阶级的关联方式。我们发现随着时间的推移，文化贪婪、性别和阶级之间的关系模式具有连续性，而这并不能用收入或工作时间来解释。虽然在获得文化参与的不平等方面，处于阶级底层的女性仍然处于最不利的地位，现在，高级管理女性在他们贪婪的文化参与方面与男性同等。我们得出结论，不仅文化贪婪在描绘由性别和阶级划分的文化不平等方面仍然有用，而且不仅文化贪婪中的性别和阶级差距会随着时间的推移而持续存在，而且有证据表明文化贪婪中的阶级不平等会随着时间的推移而加剧在男人和女人之间。
