The culture-centered approach (CCA) is now a tried-and-trusted theoretical approach to collaborate with the deepest of margins of our societies, with a commitment to advocating for and creating transformative infrastructures of communication. As a metatheory of critical communication scholarship, the CCA offers a conceptual framework that explores the interplays among power and communicative inequality in shaping the processes of marginalization. In this manuscript, we will explore the ways in which the CCA has critically interrogated the dominant language in Communication Studies over the past two decades, articulating a framework of metacritique. We present six metaconcepts or signposts as invitations to engage with how the CCA advocates a critical reflexive scrutiny of the epistemologies and practices of critical communication theory
