以Pierre Bourdieu之文化資本概念分析跨國大型商業精子銀行之捐贈者檔案組構
Analyzing Donor Profile Construction in International Commercial Sperm Banks Through Pierre Bourdieu's Concept of Cultural Capital
摘要
跨國大型商業精子銀行（international commercial sperm bank, ICSB）是當前獲取第三方供體精子的重要機構，其透過網站中豐富的捐贈者檔案與文本資料，影響了使用者的生殖消費決策與各地的生殖文化，但既有研究仍缺乏對此議題之探索。因此，本文目的在於廓清ICSB捐贈者檔案之內容與資料組織結構。本文主要採用檔案分析方法，選擇最早創立且目前規模最大的二間丹麥ICSB網站為研究場域，以Pierre Bourdieu之文化資本概念，探究ICSB之捐贈者檔案與其篩選系統。研究發現，ICSB在網站中，採用了與文化資本有關的元素來建構捐贈者圖像，對捐贈者檔案所進行的類型化配置，意在對應其潛在使用者的文化資本與社會位置，以促發使用者的想像並強化其生殖消費實踐，其過程顯現了Pierre Bourdieu「區判」概念的內涵。基於ICSB的敘事與價值選擇，生殖消費已成為一種資本傳續的媒介。本文預期將能拓展文化資本概念應用的場域，並藉文化資本指出生殖消費的複雜性。

International commercial sperm banks (ICSB) play a significant role in accessing third-party donor sperm. Through their websites, which provide extensive donor profiles and materials, they influence users' decisions regarding reproductive consumption and global reproductive cultures. However, existing research has not thoroughly explored this topic. Therefore, this paper aims to clarify the content and structure of donor profiles on ICSB websites. This study primarily employs document analysis and selects two websites from the earliest established and largest Danish ICSBs as the field of study, utilizing Pierre Bourdieu's concept of cultural capital to explore donor profiles and the selection systems of ICSBs. This study reveals that ICSBs incorporate elements associated with cultural capital to present donor images on their websites. The categorization of donor profiles aims to correspond with the cultural capital and social positions of potential users, stimulating their imagination, and reinforcing their reproductive consumption practices. This process embodies the connotations of Bourdieu's concept of 'distinction.' Based on the narratives and value selections of ICSBs, reproductive consumption has evolved into a medium for capital transfer. This paper anticipates expanding the application fields of the concept of cultural capital and highlighting the complexity of reproductive consumption through cultural capital.
