摘要

文化社会学对文化的情感维度论述不足。在本研究中,我利用侵入性整容手术这一案例来发展概念工具,以填补这一空白。整容手术(i) 带来了自我意义和社会形象的显著而复杂的变化,远远超出了单纯的外观;(ii) 涉及痛苦、焦虑和兴奋等强烈情感。这两个特点揭示了整容手术与维克多-特纳(Victor Turner)的 "成年仪式 "模型的主要相似之处。我将这一模型应用于手头的案例,并证明这些通常被忽视或仅被视为手术 "副作用 "的情绪强烈影响着与整容手术、自我意义以及更广泛的审美惯例相关的意义生成。为了深入探讨这些隐藏的过程,我介绍了杜克海姆(Durkheimian)的 "鲶鱼效应"(cathexis)理论,该理论使我们能够认识到整容手术 "外部物理效应 "的文化、认知和情感机制。我将利用整容手术消费者网络论坛的公开数据和现有文献中的其他证据来说明我的方法。

Cathectic mechanisms of cosmetic surgery: Operation and recovery as a ritual‐like process
Cultural sociology undertheorizes the emotional dimension of culture. In this study, I use the case of invasive cosmetic surgery to develop conceptual tools for filling this gap. Cosmetic surgery (i) brings a prominent and complex change in meanings of the self and the social image that goes far beyond mere appearance; and (ii) it involves intensive emotions of suffering, anxiety, and excitement. These two features reveal key similarities that cosmetic surgery shares with Victor Turner's model of the ritual of passage. I apply it to the case at hand and show that these emotions, which are usually either neglected or seen as mere ‘side effects’ of surgery, strongly affect meaning‐making related to cosmetic operations, meanings of the self, and broader aesthetic conventions. To zoom into these hidden processes, I introduce a sketch of a Durkheimian theory of cathexis that enables us to recognize cultural, cognitive, and emotional mechanisms of cosmetic surgery's ‘extraphysical effects.’ I illustrate my approach using open data from Internet forums of cosmetic surgery consumers and other evidence from existing literature.

期刊介绍: The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
