This article evaluates Bourdieu's analysis of cultural production in terms of its effectiveness for understanding contemporary media production. I begin by outlining the main features of Bourdieu's work on cultural production, with an emphasis on the potential advantages of his historical account over other, competing work. In particular, I stress the importance of his historical account of 'autonomy' and of the emphasis on the interconnectedness of the field of cultural production with other social fields. I then draw attention to two major problems in the work of Bourdieu and others who have adopted his 'field theory' for the media: first, that he offered only occasional and fragmented analyses of 'large-scale', 'heteronomous' (to use his terms) commercial media production, in spite of its enormous social and cultural importance in the contemporary world; second, that Bourdieu and his key associates provide only a very limited account of the relationships between cultural production and cultural consumption. In this latter context, I briefly discuss recent debates in cultural studies about cultural intermediaries. I refer to examples from recent media production to provide evidence for my arguments. The article argues that, as practised so far, Bourdieu's field theory is only of limited value in analysing media production. However I close by discussing the potential fruitfulness of research based on a dialogue between, on the one hand, field theory's analysis of cultural production and, on the other, Anglo-American media and cultural studies work on media production.

An introduction to a special issue on, "Cultural Production in a Digital Age," points out how digital libraries & electronic communication networks have facilitated scholarly production & changed the way scholars & academic institutions operate. The articles in this volume explore how new technologies have altered cultural production in a wide range of fields, from journalism to gambling, social movements to marketing. Some specific topics discussed by the multi-disciplinary contributors include the fate of cultural products distributed through digital channels; relationships between technological development & the political economy of media, marketing, & entertainment fields; the nature of cultural politics online; & the existence of digital clusters. The three organizing schools of thought that address, & often disagree, about the extent, pace, & character of cultural changes generated by digital technologies are identified as digital revolutionaries; cyber-skeptics; & cultural evolutionists. Key arguments of each school are explored, along with the advantages/disadvantages of the sociology of culture approach for analyzes of the role of new technologies. 61 References. J. Lindroth

In this article, we identify two models of consumer culture: the more familiar appeasement model where the "customer is king," as well as a less established and recently emergent achievement model where the consumer's efforts in consummating the act of consumption are lauded and celebrated. This raises the question of how the two models might be related to each other. Here we argue that the spread of neoliberal ideology, where the neoliberal subject is constituted as one who prides herself or himself on demonstrating entrepreneurial qualities, who thrives under competitive conditions, and who is comfortable displaying these qualities in the context of public scrutiny, has led to the cultivation of the enterprising consumer. We also show how the technologies of government employed in the cultural production of the enterprising consumer differ, and necessarily so, from those employed in the case of the enterprising producer.

This article engages with several of the key issues raised by Georgina Born in her article in this issue. It begins with a consideration of the emphasis on 'production' in Born's piece, and argues that production studies are marked by an attentiveness to complexity that is often absent in studies of cultural reception. This response engages polemically with Born's call for a cultural analysis that includes moments of critical judgement, and argues against approaches to culture that are centrally concerned with questions of human creativity.
