| 释义 | civilizing processcivilizing processthe historical process in which, according to ELIAS (1939), people acquired a greater capacity for controlling their emotions. Elias indicates how in Western societies the pattern of living – ‘structures of affects’ – that came to be regarded as ‘civilized’, involved profound redefinitions of previously ‘normal’ and ‘proper’behaviour. In a detailed 'S ociogenetic’ study of manners, social stratification and state formation, Elias shows how new standards of decorum and repugnance came into existence. See also FIGURATION, COURT SOCIETY. |
