Cultural Production and the Generative Matrix: A Response to Georgina Born
Abstract
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.

A post-humanist turn to models of 'circulation' is evident in the way some scholars are exploring how music and media travel through mobile communication systems, effectively collapsing the distinction between production and consumption and dispersing digital objects like music into what Straw calls the 'generative matrix'.
“A post-humanist turn to models of ''circulation'' on the other hand, is evident in the way some scholars are exploring how music and media travel through mobile communication systems, effectively collapsing the distinction between production and consumption and dispersing digital objects like music into what Straw calls the ''generative matrix'' (Straw 2010, 215).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
