https://doi.org/10.18384/2712-7621-2023-2-47-57
Abstract
Aim. The purpose of the paper is to develop the concept of geocultural texts on the example of the Black Sea text of Russian literature.
Methodology. Various concepts of local texts based on the research of Russian literature are analyzed. Problems are identified from the point of view of historical and cultural geography. The research relies on the use of such methods as the method of system analysis, historical and geographical method, the cartography method, the mapping method, the semiotic method and the comparative-descriptive method.
Results. The basic provisions of the concept of geo-cultural texts, including their development and interaction, are formulated. The role of geographical imagination in the formation of typical geo-cultural texts is revealed. The primary grounds for the formation of multiple geo-cultural texts are investigated on the example of the Black Sea text of Russian literature.
Research implication. The concept of geo-cultural texts on the example of literary works is proposed. The primary material on the Black Sea text of Russian literature is summarized using the concept of geo-cultural texts. The problems of examining local texts within the framework of historical and cultural geography are outlined. The proposed concept of geo-cultural texts can be used to study various regional texts, i.e. both Russian and other cultures.
