Abstract
- This paper argues for the importance of the concept of an autopoietic system for the sociological study of culture. The autopoietic model of culture provides a more sociological definition of cul-ture. It offers fresh insights into such classic problems as the autonomy of culture, the relation between producers' intent and receivers' meanings, and the political effects of the everyday use of culture. The paper concludes by showing the value of the autopoietic model to potential re-search projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
