本文探讨了最近的辩论布迪厄所谓的文化中介在文化资本关系的形成和再生产的作用。在布迪厄的架构中，文化或创意产业的工人在创造象征性商品的生产和消费中的价值等级中占有中心地位。后来的一些作者（Lash and Urry 1994;费瑟斯通1991）认为，参与文化产品生产和分销的工人在晚期或后现代性的发展中占有关键地位。最近的工作（Negus 2002;尼克松和杜盖伊2002）批评了这个术语的有效性和连贯性，因为它已经被理解，并呼吁在其定义和使用更严格。本文通过将图书贸易视为文化产品生产和消费之间的差距的中介空间，补充了这一争论。它表明，文化中介，作为文化工作者，参与社会阶层的文化方面的再生产，通过“支撑”他们在文化资本关系中的不安全地位，而不仅仅是一个反身的现代性的品味领导者。
This paper examines recent debates about the role of what Bourdieu termed cultural intermediaries in the formation and reproduction of the relations of cultural capital. Workers in the cultural or creative industries were given a central place in Bourdieu's schema in the creation of hierarchies of value in the production and consumption of symbolic goods. Subsequent writers about the apparent emergence of a creative economy (Lash and Urry 1994; Featherstone 1991) have given workers involved in the production and distribution of cultural goods a pivotal place in the development of late or post-modernity. More recent work (Negus 2002; Nixon and du Gay 2002) has criticized the validity and coherence of the term as it has come to be understood and called for more rigour in its definition and use. This paper adds to this debate by considering the book trade as a space in which the gap between production and consumption of cultural goods is mediated. It suggests that cultural intermediaries, as cultural workers, are engaged in the reproduction of the cultural aspects of social class by 'shoring up' their insecure position in the relations of cultural capital, rather than simply being the taste leaders of a reflexive modernity.
