Circuit Of Culture

What is Culture?

  Culture ...is not so much a set of things ...as a process, a set of practices. Primarily, culture is concerned with the production and the exchange of meanings-'the giving and taking of meaning'-between the members of a society or group." Value-feelings, attachments and emotions
 "Culture is involved in all those practices...which carry meaning and value for us, which need to be meaningfully interpreted by others, or which depend on meaning for their effective operation. Culture, in this sense, permeates all of society"


     Circuit of Culture--the five interacting loci of cultural practices
Representation, Regulation, Identity, Production*, Consumption:



Representation

The term 'representation' carries a range of meanings and interpretations. In literary theory, 'representation' is commonly defined in three ways.

1. To look like or resemble
2. To stand in for something or someone
3. To present a second time to re-present

Regulation

A rule designed to control the conduct of those to whom it applies. Regulations are official rules, and have to be followed.


Production


Definition-The action of transferring  raw material into finish goods to create goods and service for humans.

There are 3 type of Production:

*Primary production                (Produced directly extract natural resources)
*Secondary production           (Producers process resources to turn them into semi-finished goods or
                                                 finish goods)
*Tertiary Production                (Producers provide service)


VALUE OF A PRODUCT
   Value of a product reflects the owner(s)'/buyer(s)' desire to retain or obtain a product. Individual's level of desire to retain or obtain a product depends on how much the product details and/or its performance agree with the value system of the individual. To an individual, therefore, value of a product includes cost and a subjective part associated with cost. Value of a product can be expressed in units of currency if the subjective part of it is assessed in units of currency. This paper aims to propose a definition of value of a product and develop a method to assess it in units of a currency. To test the methodology in practice, experiments are conducted and the values of two of the elements of the external envelope of residential housing projects are determined.
