Preferred term

circuits of culture/consumption  

Definition

  • The term circuits of culture refers to the argument that cultural meaning is produced through the articulation of a series of processes, stages, or moments in the biography of a given cultural artifact, which could be an object, commodity, or text. The specific processes discussed have varied since cultural theorists, notably Stuart Hall and Richard Johnson, first outlined circuit type models, but they have centered on the links between processes of production and consumption.
