MAHON, Maureen. The visible evidence of cultural producers. Signo pensam. [online]. 2008, vol.27, n.52, pp. 42-67. ISSN 0120-4823.

This review discusses anthropological research that analyzes the practices through which individuals and groups produce music, video, film, visual arts, and theater, and the ideological and institutional frameworks within which these processes occur. Viewing these media and popular culture forms as arenas in which social actors struggle over social meanings and as visible evidence of social processes and social relations, this research addresses the social, political, and aesthetic dimensions of these productions.
