| Research Abstract |
Using Data on cultural activities, tastes and lifestyles from 1999 KAWASAKI survey, we analyze the relationship between cultural phenomenon and social structure at kawasaki city, near Tokyo. We formulate two competing sets of hypotheses, which are social exclusion hypothesis and cultural omnivore hypothesis, and find that cultural omnivore which participates in both high-status culture and low-status culture is increasing. Cultural tolerance rises with socio-economic status, cultural capital and education, but decreases with age. Cultural omnivore hypothesis is supported in urban city in Japan. Both popular culture and high culture is common culture in Japan because 85% of the samples participates in high cultural activities and 83% of the samples participates in popular culture in these few years. The meaning of cultural tastes and cultural consumption differs between men and women in Japan. Women's aesthetic disposition is status culture and increases with cultural capital and education, but men's aesthetic disposition do not relate with job and education.
