A Study of the Validity of the Cultural Capital Theory in Taiwan: Changes in the Correlation Between Cultural Tastes, Education, and Social Class
2016
Overview
Since the publication of Distinction by Pierre Bourdieu in 1984, the idea of using cultural tastes as the standard for differentiating social groups has drawn much attention. This study utilizes data collected from the Taiwan Social Change Survey conducted in 1997 and 2007, in order to explore the validity of the views proposed by Bourdieu in Distinction. The study found that the phenomenon of cultural omnivorousness was the main characteristic of cultural consumption behavior in both 1997 and 2007. Not only did cultural omnivores display broadness of tastes, their tastes also exhibited differentiating effects across different social classes. The study also found that there is a trend among omnivores toward a more individualized consumption pattern. In addition, cultural activities are multi-faceted, and will undergo historical changes over time. The major factor that affects cultural tastes is an individual's education level, with the secondary factor being their objective class.
