在現代物質豐裕的社會中，「物」原始的使用價值、交換價值已不夠滿足消費者的需求，因此「物」的象徵意義，逐漸變成新的商品趨勢；這樣的現象主導了新的消費行為－「符號消費」。因此，除了基本的商品迴路外，生產過程中的文化、感性、故事等層面，也促使了產業再生產的可能性。本研究就是建構在上述的基礎上，來探討個案「老土藝術工作室」。老土藝術工作室的負責人－李明松先生，從自身堅毅奮鬥的深刻創作體驗，建立自我品牌與風格，到單純教導弱勢學生（技藝班、特教班）陶藝，再到引導學生建立自我主體性，使其成為老土藝術工作室生產的參與者之一，讓他們跳脫了社會依存的邊緣性，這整個創作轉型，族群互動以及符號生產的歷程，正是本研究予以探討的主題：「符號再生產」。
