本論文旨在通過布迪厄的文化資本理論,分析教會追求「幸福家庭」的現象,是符應布迪厄文化再製理論的「階級區分」與「階級再製」的原則。布迪厄表示,社會可視為多面向的空間,人們在社會空間的位置取決於其所擁有的資本數量;一個人所擁有以及運用的全部資本總量,就是階級的判斷標準。追求「幸福感」無疑是現代教會的特徵之一,無形中塑造了幸福的文化資本,使教會產生階級的區異,並且以潛移默化的方式傳承給下一代,產生不斷循環的文化再製。 建立一個基督教的「幸福家庭」,充分展現了資本主義那種充滿誘惑性與不可抗拒性的特點;據多位學者的研究,資本主義精神與基督教精神互相融合、互相滋養,交織成為基督教世界觀,並持續累積擴大,深入影響信徒的生活。本研究茲以基督教普遍之家庭、工作與婚姻文化現象入手分析,闡述這些主流文化背後所預設的象徵宰制的力量,並作為理解由家庭到婚姻與工作成就一連串綿密的再製歷程。 據此,本論文建議:以文化資本的概念作為辨析教會生活原則新觀點,去發現出基督教精神應該面對,並可與之融通或必須抵制的地方;教會應更注重多元文化的培養與發展,積極對弱勢階級的扶助,注意及反省中產階級所帶來的文化視角,以更豐富的實證資料檢視文化資本理論對於教會生活的階級區分解釋力如何。
This dissertation is written in the theory of Bourdieu’s cultural capital on analyzing the appearance of aspiring after ‘Happy Family’. The appearance should be implemented meet the principles of ‘Distinction’ and ‘Reproduction’. Bourdieu indicates that social is multidimensional space, people’s status in multidimensional space depends on a quantity of whose capital. The amounts of all kinds of capital he or she possesses are standard of judging their class. Undoubtedly, pursuing ‘Well being’ is the characteristic of modernistic church, and molding cultural capital imperceptibly, and the cultural resources in bourgeois generation will slightly transfer to the next generation. Modernistic church reveals alluring and inviting property with the process of building a Christian ‘Happy Family’. According to several researchers’ points of view, the world view of modernistic church is from complete grown by capitalism and the Christian faiths. The world view which continuously increased importance as church life is more intense than ever. The main purposes of this study is to investigate the ecumenical appearance of Christian family, work and marriage, and to expound the symbolic presidial strength behind the ecumenical cultural. According to this study, there are some suggestions as follows: cultural capital is a new point of view on the issue of principles in church life, as regards the new point, it should help Christian to face or integrate or resist capitalism. Church should take emphasis on cultivating and developing their multiple-culture; and support more actively to those who fail in the social; one must pay attention and reflect on the cultural centrism of bourgeois generation; using more empirical data to verify the validity of Bourdieu’ s cultural capital on the issue of distinction of church life.
