Culture Space may be defined as an intersection of material and ideological activities that provide the structural support for a particular culture to develop its distinct identity. It is a critical concept for understanding how a particular culture functions, as it allows for the mediation of material and ideological processes to provide an environment in which a given culture can grow and flourish. This includes the exchange of ideas and capital, as well as the application of cultural practices and norms that exist within a given social space. In this way, Culture Space functions as a central driving force behind a cultural identity and allows for the exploration of a culture's rich history, values and social structures.
