Abstract

The article examines culture as a phenomenon generated by a subject's intention to form an intersubjective space. The analysis of the phenomenon is based on psychoanalysis and phenomenology. It is shown that by creating a common meaning through symbolization, the subject seeks to avoid existential horror before encountering something which forms specific cultural values. It is substantiated that the cultural field is an extension of the intersubjective field, it is a condition for the existence of the subject, and at the same time is generated by it. Providing common symbols, the cultural field constitutes a space for the formation of consciousness. Mental states that are not symbolized in specific cultural values cannot be included in consciousness. Thus, due to the process of repression of the non-symbolized and non-mentalized elements, the cultural field determines the formation of the unconscious.
