摘要

本文将炫耀性消费的概念引入西周物质文化研究。它揭示了一群高级精英，相对于他们的同龄人，从事这种做法，在他们的坟墓里奢侈地使用青铜器。这种行为是由个人或其血统所特有的社会和政治因素驱动的。本文认为，炫耀性消费提供了一个有价值的分析镜头，用于研究埋葬数据的广泛变化，并揭示了西周时期殡葬习俗的复杂性，这些习俗超出了奢侈规定的限制。

Conspicuous Consumption: Bronze Vessels in High-Ranking Elite Tombs of the Western Zhou (1045–771 BCE)

This paper introduces the concept of conspicuous consumption into the study of Western Zhou material culture. It reveals that a select group of high-ranking elites, relative to their peers, engaged in this practice with extravagant use of bronze vessels in their tombs. Such behavior was driven by social and political factors unique to the individuals or their lineages. The paper argues that conspicuous consumption offers a valuable analytical lens for examining the wide variability in burial data and for revealing the complexity of funerary practices that extend beyond the constraints of the sumptuary regulations during the Western Zhou period.

期刊介绍： Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries. Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display. Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
