Summary/Abstract: In this paper I stress the cultural aspects of social movements. After the ”cultural turn” in the 60s and 70s new methods and theories emerged in the social sciences as well. At the same time new fields of contention appeared. The students of the new social movements have elaborated the questions of identity, interpretation and the construction of meaning. After the introduction I briefly present the history and effects of the cultural turn, then I stress the cultural concerns of the literature of social movement studies. Eventually I show the relation and characteristics of the key features of movement culture: the identity, the framing process and the movement subcultures.
