Sažetak
This paper seeks to provide an extended critical overview of the sociological dimension
and sociological features of British cultural studies. In this context, it offers some necessary
theoretical stimulation and perspective to re-think and to re-evaluate the role of British
cultural studies in the field of sociology. The multidisciplinarity of British cultural studies has
always had a strong relationship with sociology. British cultural studies are in their essence
some kind of eclectic sociology. The richness and quality of their own approach are an
important contribution which enhances and highlights the sociological approach. Although
in sociology British cultural studies are seen as one of the neo-marxist approaches to culture,
the sociological dimension of British cultural studies is still not elaborated in a methodical and
comprehensive way. In this work it is presented most extensively via the British Birmingham
School of Cultural studies with the focus on the ideas of Antonio Gramsci which lend the
strongest theoretical support to British cultural studies. Within the common sociopolitical/
theoretical framework both disciplines sociology of culture and cultural studies discuss the
integration of cultural communication into a complex network of economic and political
power.
