This document discusses the "circuit of culture" framework and applies it to analyzing television as a cultural artifact. The circuit of culture examines five elements: representation, identity, production, consumption, and regulation. For television, representation involves how it is portrayed in ads as a source of knowledge and entertainment. Identity focuses on portrayals targeting youth and professionals. Production looks at television companies and recruitment/policies. Consumption analyzes who buys televisions and why. Regulation discusses banning of certain content by the government censor board. The circuit of culture provides a thorough way to examine cultural artifacts and how they circulate through society.
