摘要：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.
