CEVAP:

The Birmingham School, which has an emphasis on cultural autonomy, is in the opinion that the culture is shaped primarily by dominant powers/power relations. Adopting an expanded concept of culture, the Birmingham School has rejected the distinction between high culture and low culture, and has made a significant break from an approach that would create any cultural stratification. Thus, the school has defined popular culture as a legitimate field. While having a similar perspective with people on “culture as a whole way of life,” the definition of culture as homogeneous integrity was rejected. British Cultural Studies conceptualized culture as a dynamic and constantly renewing process, not as a fixed, static, frozen and closed system.
