This study attempted to theoretically systematize the process of local communities’ storytelling of culture
contents based on Peirce’s concept of semiosis. It aimed to elucidate the principle underlying the
sustainable reproduction of local communities’ culture contents. This study defines culture contents of local
communities as materialization of their fundamental shared values into tangible and intangible cultural
actions. It explains the process of producing local communities’ culture contents as a storytelling process
that ceaselessly reproduces meaning. Local communities’ culture contents serve as text that intermediates
dialogic interactions between content users. Interpretative dialogues occur endlessly between content users,
that is, local community members, through the text as a medium. This process of “agreement–sharing–
reflection” involving the meaning of local culture is continuously repeated through storytelling and
re-produces an evolved form of local communities’ culture contents.
