CULTURAL STUDIES AS A CONCEPT ORGANISING THE EXPERIENCE OF CULTURECulture is constantly being created by man and is subject to change as a result of human self-reflection and self-identification. The cultural system does not exist in isolation, but interacts with other systems, which means that in the cultural system itself we may recognise decision-making processes, namely: what to accept, what to reject, how to include (or not include) new elements. Thus, it is necessary to organise our knowledge about the occurring processes and phenomena. The essence of cultural studies is expressed above all in the ordering of these processes and phenomena within the rich and dynamic field of culture.
