Beschreibung / Abstract
Zusammenfassung: Seit den 1990er Jahren hat sich eine Diskussion um den Wandel von kulturellen Praferenzen und Praktiken entwickelt, die unter dem Schlagwort "cultural omnivorousness" vor allem im englischsprachigen Raum gefuhrt wird. Unter Omnivorizitat werden dabei distinktive Muster kulturellen Konsums verstanden, die sich durch eine spezifische Vermengung von Hoch- und Popularkultur auszeichnen. Die Diskussion uber Varianten von Distinktionsmustern und -praktiken ist gleichermasen fur Ungleichheitsforschung wie Kultursoziologie von Relevanz. Der vorliegende Beitrag verfolgt zwei Ziele: Erstens bietet er einen Uberblick uber deutschsprachige und internationale Beitrage und Fragestellungen der Forschung zu "cultural omnivorousness". Zweitens werden im Anschluss an diesen Uberblick in systematischer Absicht distinkte Lesarten und Dimensionen von Omnivorizitat unterschieden. Auf dieser Basis diskutiert der Beitrag Varianten der Distinktion und benennt Ansatzpunkte fur weiterfuhrende Forschung. Schlagworter: Kultureller Konsum, Distinktion, Omnivorizitat, soziale Ungleichheit
Abstract: Since the beginning of the 1990s there has been an ongoing debate on changing patterns of cultural preferences and practices, mainly in English speaking countries. This discussion is centered around the concept of cultural omnivorousness. The empirical phenomenon discussed can be understood as a variation of distinction by combining highbrow as well as lowbrow culture. The debate is equally important for research on social inequality as well as cultural sociology. The article has two goals: Firstly, it offers a review of current international research as well as research from German speaking countries on "cultural omnivorousness". Secondly, the article presents distinct readings of the concept and systematically differentiates dimensions of cultural omnivorousness. This conceptual work lays the ground for a discussion of variations of distinction. Finally, the article presents ideas for further research. Keywords: cultural omnivore, distinction, cultural consumption, social inequality
