摘要:During the last decades, one of the most interesting debates in the field of sociology of consumption has been the issue of cultural omnivorousness, usually outlined as a critique towards Bourdieu’s classic distinction theory. As opposed to the idea of differentiation and hierarchization of lifestyles based on the acquisition of cultural capital, the advocates of cultural omnivorousness claim that the new legitimate taste of the new ruling classes is depicted by a greater breadth of cultural preferences, whose range varies from the most refined arts to others more typical of popular culture. The aim of this article is to review the cultural omnivorousness theory as well as the main trends in the debate that has helped to launch. The main critiques that the concept of cultural omnivore has received by some authors will not be overlooked.
