我们通过对美国西南部城市四个社区的 154 名受访者的采访来描述自来水的亚文化模式，确定了支持和预期被动精英捕获的公共话语来源。根据预测，使用自来水的人的社会贬值是由特权社区的居民承担的。这表明了更广泛的概念化和精英夺取水资源的经验模型的价值：不仅作为资源的物理偏差，而且作为特定精英群体对公共资源的话语贬值。
Characterizing subcultural models of tap water derived from interviews from 154 respondents in four neighbourhoods in the urban Southwestern United States, we identify sources of public discourses that support and anticipate passive elite capture. In accord with predictions, social devaluation of those who use tap water is situated with residents of a privileged exclusive community sector. This suggests the value of a broader conceptualization and an empirical model of elite capture in water resources: not just as a physical deviation of resources, but also as a discursive devaluation of public resources by specifically elite populations.
