摘要:	費茲傑羅撰寫的長篇小說《大亨小傳》堪稱美國文學中的經典，這本著作反映了一九二零年代紙醉金迷的社交圈，社會階級流動以及美國夢的追尋。小說中不時出現糜爛場景和奢華消費，背後其實隱藏了尖銳的社會地位、品味和權力衝突。而故事角色可分為舊富、新富、中產階級和勞工，每個人物皆由消費行為傳達自己的社經地位，其中更有利用炫富消費來晉升社會階級。本論文從文化消費的角度切入《大亨小傳》的核心，探討主人公蓋茲比為何擁有大筆財富仍無法被上層階級接納，同時也是最終導致其夢想粉碎主因。 The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, first published in 1925, presented the prosperous American society after the First World War and the social climbers’ status-seeking process by purchasing luxurious goods. Wealth becomes a general sign of status in societal network; namely, money may earn admiration and respect by ostentatious consumption. However, the protagonist Jay Gatsby, a bootlegger who finds his fame through holding lavish parties at his own mansion in New York, encompasses enough power either to establish a great fortune or pursue the love of his life. Crowned by the newly gained wealth, he still cannot share the same public esteem as the “Old Money”. Using Thorstein Veblen’s observations on the leisure class in The Theory of the Leisure Class and Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of taste and social distinctions in Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste, this thesis aims to discuss class, taste and consumption of goods in the novel, and to read social mobility through the characters’ shopping behaviors.
