内容大纲
本书考察了中国学生写给国外导师争取留学机会的“套磁”电邮。这里的“套磁”言语行为来源于本土,然而用于国际情境,是用英语交流的。它并无“巧舌如簧地与陌生人拉近关系”的贬义,而是一种中性的,既本土又全球,既古老而又新颖的语言构建或创造。作者带着强烈的好奇心,带领读者去探索了这样一个有趣的现象。作者借鉴社会学家布迪厄的场域、资本和惯习理论以及社会语言学家诺顿的二语投资概念,来分析中国留学申请者的“套磁”话语,将其解读为全球文化资本的投资行为,并修订了达文和诺顿(2015)的投资模型。这就丰厚和深化了言语行为意义的揭示,既细致生动又视野开阔。研究指出了话语及文化“惯习”的可重塑性、动态性。以往对于布迪厄理论的理解、阐释和应用,多从社会结构主义的视角出发,强调结构关系和资本分配方式的再生产,突出其稳定的特性。 -
