ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the process of taste transformation in body-centered consumption fields and the role of the body in this process. Although previous studies have investigated taste acquisition, the body is still commonly understood only as the enactor of the practices in this process. By analyzing the context of healthy living, this study identifies the body as a lived-in trigger of taste transformation and the main place where change unfolds. It demonstrates how, after taste transformation, the body becomes a lived-in enactor of practices that display mastery of the tenets of a taste regime but is still captured in normative systems that animate the desire for change. The findings reveal that the body is both situated in normative beauty systems and an embodied enactor of practices and that by unveiling its dual role, it allows individuals to navigate distinction-over and distinction-between.

摘要

本文研究了以身体为中心的消费领域中味觉转变的过程以及身体在此过程中的作用。尽管以前的研究已经研究了味觉习得，但人体仍通常仅被理解为该过程中行为的制定者。通过分析健康生活的背景，这项研究确定了身体是味觉转变的固有触发因素，并且是变化发生的主要场所。它展示了在味觉转变之后，身体如何成为一种活生生的演说家，这些手法表现出对味觉制度宗旨的掌握，但仍然被赋予改变欲的动画规范系统所捕获。研究结果表明，人体既位于规范的美容系统中，又是实践的具体体现，并且通过揭示其双重作用，
