Abstract

The article explores the labor theory of culture as an alternative perspective to understanding cultural texts. Unlike traditional approaches that view work and culture as opposing forces, the labor theory of culture sees them as interconnected. This theory focuses on the people, processes, and meaning behind cultural texts, emphasizing the labor involved in their creation. By studying the labor story behind cultural production, we can gain valuable insights into the social and political aspects of these texts, as well as uncover marginalized voices and collective work processes.
