Ashley Mears, a sociology professor at Boston University, working primarily at the intersection of economic and cultural sociology and gender studies, gives an excellent talk on her observation of fashion modeling industry, as well as her study of VIP nightclub culture. She believes, "Beauty is both an internalized value judgement, and a social system, and that’s a daunting challenge to change, but the great news is, it can change."
Ashley Mears,社会学家。
“美既是一種內化的價值判斷,是我們內心懷有的感受,同時也是一種社會制度。”在成為社會學家之前,Ashley Mears曾經是一名時尚模特。為了做研究,她臥底成一個參加派對的女孩,加入了全球VIP夜店的巡遊。
在VIP夜店中,有錢人們買下喝不完的酒,送給陌生人,或者搖晃酒瓶,把酒灑在彼此身上。他們通過這些儀式向房間裡的所有人宣布,自己是有錢人。
“我想知道的是,這類炫耀何以成為可能?炫耀和浪費是如何讓人感覺良好、彰顯地位的?”這一切的核心就是時尚模特,女性的美、女性的身體被當成了一種資本。“這個精英的世界,由男人經營,為男人服務,卻由女孩承擔。”
