Texts

All texts are produced via a society. Art and culture are products of that society. A text is a cultural artefact: it's construction happens in a particular place in a particular time.

The office

Controversy

"The Office" was a staple on NBC from 2005 to 2013 and despite its success, star Steve Carell doesn't think the show would fit in today's environment.

"I think because of that (streaming services) there's been a resurgence in interest in the show, and talk about bringing it back," he said. "But apart from the fact that I just don't think that's a good idea, it might be impossible to do that show today and have people accept it the way it was accepted 10 years ago."

The 56-year-old said that "the climate's different" and his problematic character, Michael Scott, "was predicated on inappropriate behavior."

"

"Some cultural theoreticians argue that a text does not really exist as a text until it is read, viewed or experienced by an audience. They say that until the text is interpreted, it is only words or images"
