Are some people, dissatisfied with current capitalist society in Britain searching for alternative spiritualities?

是不是有些人对英国目前的资本主义社会不满意，在寻找另一种精神生活？这种探索在偶然或有意中表现为自我毁灭行为的频率是多少？公司办公室的案例研究。资本主义通过内化其一些批评并形成新的辩护精神来生存的能力是需要关注的问题。我打算调查在一家通信“巨头”总部工作的人，他们中的一些人之所以这样做，是否是因为他们从生活中寻找的东西比资本主义精神提供的“更多”(韦伯，1930)。我想探讨参与者对“资本主义精神”的反应和感受，也就是说，获得物质和财富在某种程度上是一个终极目的和“先验的”(韦伯，1930)。我计划考察个人对其他精神的追求(如果有的话)，并挖掘出他们是否参与了资本主义精神的替代或拒绝。同样，我希望调查自我毁灭行为是否被视为资本主义精神的替代，或者它们是否被用作应对对当代社会安排的不满的机制。将使用案例研究设计框架，结合人种学元素和基于Merrill和West(2009)工作的传记访谈。我将在公司办公室花一些时间与人们交谈，让自己沉浸在文化中，并创建观察日志。参与者(20-30名员工)随后将接受采访并创建逐字记录。数据(日志和成绩单)将使用美林和韦斯特(2009年)创建的既定形式进行编码和分析。

Are some people, dissatisfied with current capitalist society in Britain searching for alternative spiritualities? How often does this search accidentally or intentionally manifest in self destructive behaviours? A case study into a corporate office.Capitalism's ability to survive by endogenizing some of its criticisms and morphing new 'spirits' of justification are issues that require attention. I intend to investigate whether people working in a communications 'giant' head office, some of whom often engage with self-destructive behaviours do so because they are searching for 'more' from life than the spirit of capitalism (Weber, 1930) provides. I want to explore participants reactions to and feelings toward the 'capitalist spirit', namely the idea that acquisition of material goods and wealth is in some way an ultimate purpose and 'transcendental' (Weber, 1930). I plan to examine individual's pursuit (if any) of other spiritualities and unearth whether they are engaged with as an alternative to or rejection of capitalism's spirit. Similarly, I hope to investigate whether self-destructive behaviours are pursued as alternative spiritualities to that of capitalism or perhaps whether they are engaged with as coping mechanisms to a dissatisfaction with contemporary society arrangements. A case study design frame will be used incorporating ethnographic elements and biographical interviews based on the work of Merrill and West (2009). I will spend some time in the corporate office talking to people, immersing myself within the culture and creating observation logs. Participants (20-30 employees) will then be interviewed and verbatim transcripts created. Data (logs and transcripts) will be coded and analysed using an established proforma created by Merrill and West (2009).
