Cultural rights in the communication sphere

Abstract

Perhaps, the most generic characteristic of culture is communication: without it no culture could have ever taken shape, survived, spread over – moreover it could have not even changed. Besides the society theory connection, the common feature of cultural rights is that their fundamental rights protection is not only a peculiar form of self-expression – such as for example artistic creation or scientific research – but it extends to certain parts of the public, which serves as protection in the communication sphere: It makes the individual’s well-founded participation in the societal process possible. Within the framework of the study, I undertake to analyse the cultural aspects of the fundamental rights named cultural rights, – accordingly, the freedom of art and science and the academic freedom derived from the right to education – especially in light of the fact, that the objects and values protected by these rights, in order words culture plays a significant role in the lives of societies, thus in the public interactions.
