Few theoretical traditions dominate the sociological study of culture as does that of the late Pierre Bourdieu. Yet the Bourdieu that dominates is not the only Bourdieu there is, for Bourdieusian sociology is comprised of two incompatible philosophical strands—naturalism and interpretivism. In turn, the first goal of this essay is to make the case that cultural sociologists are wrong to give primacy to naturalist Bourdieu, as we so often do. And in order to accomplish this, I advance a critique of naturalist Bourdieu using the theoretical and normative resources afforded by interpretivist Bourdieu. However, this critique is only the first part of a larger project of theoretical translation and reconstruction. Despite the substantial sociological insights contained in interpretivist Bourdieu, for explanatory, ethical, and political reasons, I maintain that a superior critical cultural theory ultimately requires an alternative theoretical vocabulary. “Naturalism and interpretivism” presents brief accounts of naturalism and interpretivism. In “The two Bourdieus: naturalist versus interpretivist,” I flesh out how they manifest in Bourdieu’s sociology, presenting, in ideal-typical form, the basic outlines of what I call naturalist Bourdieu and interpretivist Bourdieu. In “Moving beyond Bourdieu,” I argue that, although the latter is far superior to the former, its economistic vocabulary is parasitic on the normative vision animating Bourdieu’s project. So, in order to bring Bourdieu’s cultural theory more in line with his political ambitions, I propose replacing the language of “capital,” “distinction,” and “fields” with the anti-naturalist language of “goods,” “traditions,” and “spheres.” In “A post-Bourdieusian cultural theory,” I bring together the work of Taylor, MacIntyre, Walzer, and others to sketch the outlines of a post-Bourdieusian cultural theory.

资本和地位,还是商品和传统?迈向后布迪厄斯文化理论

很少有理论传统像已故的皮埃尔·布尔迪厄那样主宰文化的社会学研究。然而,占主导地位的布迪厄并不是唯一的布迪厄,因为布迪厄社会学由两种不相容的哲学流派组成——自然主义解释主义. 反过来,本文的第一个目标是证明文化社会学家将自然主义者布迪厄放在首位是错误的,正如我们经常做的那样。为了实现这一点,我利用解释主义者布迪厄提供的理论和规范资源对自然主义者布迪厄提出了批评。然而,这种批判只是更大的理论翻译和重建工程的第一部分。尽管解释主义者布迪厄包含了大量的社会学见解,但出于解释、伦理和政治原因,我坚持认为,一个更高级的批判文化理论最终需要一个可供选择的理论词汇。“自然主义和解释主义”简要介绍了自然主义和解释主义。在“两个布尔迪厄:自然主义者与解释主义者”中,我充实了它们在布迪厄社会学中的表现方式,以理想典型的形式呈现了我称之为自然主义者布迪厄解释主义者布迪厄的基本轮廓. 在“超越布迪厄”一文中,我认为,尽管后者远远优于前者,但其经济学词汇寄生在激发布迪厄计划的规范愿景上。所以,为了让布迪厄的文化理论更符合他的政治野心,我建议用“商品”、“传统”、“商品”、“传统”、和“领域”。在“后布迪厄斯文化理论”中,我汇集了泰勒、麦金泰尔、沃尔泽和其他人的著作,勾勒出后布迪厄斯文化理论的轮廓。
