Looking at sense of place from a cultural studies perspective, I wondered if the 'circuit of culture' theory might have something to offer in understanding how we produce and reproduce our local understandings of place.
It's a theory usually applied to objects but becomes relevant if we see place as a text to be read or decoded. The circuit of culture suggests that in order to understand a text completely you should look at each of five aspects: representation, identity, production, consumption and regulation.
I tried to map this out, see what you think.
