摘要

We are a people and culture shaped by the ideology of abundance, or ashistorian David Potter noted, a people of plenty. Cultural observers fromAlexis de Tocqueville to Daniel J. Boorstin have conjectured about the rolethat material abundance and the ethos of the marketplace played in theformation of a distinctive American national character and contributed to afluid class structure and democratic institutions. The American consumerculture has also produced a disposable society, mass producing and massconsuming for the moment, characterized by suburban sprawl, shoppingmalls, and ubiquitous corporate logos and advertising slogans. Traditionalbenchmarks of group and personal identity—occupational status, ethnicity,religious affiliation—have receded as Americans increasingly define themselvesin terms of their purchasing power and consumer choices.

Boorstin)的文化观察家都猜测,物质丰富性和市场风气在形成独特的美国民族特色中发挥了作用,并为富有的阶级结构和民主制度做出了贡献。美国的消费文化还产生了一个可支配的社会,目前大量生产和大量消费,其特征是郊区蔓延,购物商场,无处不在的公司徽标和广告口号。随着美国人越来越多地根据购买力和消费者选择来定义自己,群体和个人身份的传统基准(职业地位,种族,宗教归属)逐渐消失。
