This article contributes to recent debates about the relationship between affective labour and class by exploring the classed distinctions enacted through affective labour in the urban night-time economy. Bringing theories of affective labour into a dialogue with Bourdieusian feminist analysis, the article explores the affective and symbolic dynamics of hospitality labour in a gentrified inner-urban neighbourhood of Melbourne, Australia. It shows how the practice of hospitality labour enacts classed distinctions and tensions emerging from the gentrification of inner-urban areas, and how the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of class contribute to the valorisation of affect in hospitality venues. The valorisation of affect are processes in which the value attributed to an atmosphere or consumption experience is based on the forms of distinction practised within the venue, enacted in aesthetics, tastes and modes of embodiment. The article also shows how practices of class distinction – both ‘punching up’ and ‘managing down’ – are connected to the gendered politics of service work in the way that workers manage the threat of violence or sexual harassment in venues. In general, the article shows how the classed dynamics of gentrification are enacted in affective economies, and therefore how Bourdieusian analysis of class can be usefully deployed in theoretical debates about affective labour.

夜间经济中的情感劳动和阶级差异

本文通过探讨在城市夜间经济中通过情感劳动所产生的分类差异,为最近有关情感劳动与阶级之间关系的辩论做出了贡献。本文将情感劳动理论与布尔迪厄斯主义的女权主义分析进行了对话,探讨了澳大利亚墨尔本市区高档化附近酒店招待劳动的情感和象征动态。它显示了款待业的实践如何对城市内部高档化产生分类的区别和紧张关系,以及阶级的美学和象征意义如何促进款待场所中的情感增值。情感的价值化是一种过程,在这种过程中,归因于气氛或消费经验的价值是基于场地内实行的区别形式,体现在美学,品味和体现方式上。文章还展示了“区分”和“管理不善”的阶级区分做法如何与服务工作中的性别政治联系在一起,从而使工人能够应对场所中的暴力威胁或性骚扰。总的来说,本文显示了在情感经济中如何实行高级化的分类动力学,因此,如何在有关情感劳动的理论辩论中有效地运用布尔迪厄斯的阶级分析。文章还展示了“区分”和“管理不善”的阶级区分做法如何与服务工作中的性别政治联系在一起,从而使工人能够应对场所中的暴力威胁或性骚扰。总的来说,本文显示了在情感经济中如何实行高级化的分类动力学,因此,如何在有关情感劳动的理论辩论中有效地运用布尔迪厄斯的阶级分析。文章还展示了“区分”和“管理不善”的阶级区分做法如何与服务工作中的性别政治联系在一起,从而使工人能够应对场所中的暴力威胁或性骚扰。总的来说,本文显示了在情感经济中如何实行高级化的分类动力学,因此,如何在有关情感劳动的理论辩论中有效地运用布尔迪厄斯的阶级分析。
