Abstract

MATO, Daniel. Todas las industrias son culturales: crítica de la idea de “industrias culturales” y nuevas posibilidades de investigación. Comun. soc [online]. 2007, n.8, pp.131-154. ISSN 0188-252X.

Although the categories of cultural industries and cultural consumption are useful resources in valuable research, they carry certain troubles. This text shows how its usage obstacles some research possibilities, and how giving them up may open new possibilities. Highlighting the “cultural” character of certain specific industries and forms of consumption obscures the cultural analysis of other industries and forms of consumption.

Keywords : cultural industries; cultural consumption; critique; theory; method.
