Abstract
Aim. We consider literary landscapes that have developed over the past 50 years in such settlements as Polevskaya, Visim and Vsevolod-Vilva, and define the contribution of fiction literature to the formation of the cultural landscape authenticity.
Methodology. Each of the considered landscapes has common structural elements: memorial museums, literary places, historical monuments, natural attractions, development history and development methods. The study of landscapes is based on the literary-geographical approach, as well as historical-functional and geopoetic analysis of the text and tourist product design approach. The research material is the creative heritage of D.N. Mamin-Sibiryak, P.P. Bazhov, B.L. Pasternak, as well as the project activities of literary museums in Visim, Polevskaya and Sysert, Vsevolodo-Vilva.
Results. The literary landscape of Visim is connected with the work of D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak: it is memorial and “realistically authentic” as the work of the writer. It develops through traditional methods of museumification. The literary landscapes of P. P. Bazhov have an associative character, are connected with the heroes of fairy tales, and are evolved in the direction of natural territories development and of industrial area revitalization. In the literary landscape of B. L. Pasternak, natural landscapes are of particular importance; they line up in a series of poetic images of the Urals as a primordial world that is close to the origins of existence. Continuous processes of cultural designing are important for the life and development cycles of each of the literary landscapes, which, in this case, retain their attractiveness.
Research implication. For the first time, landscapes associated with individual periods of the life of D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak, P. P. Bazhov, B. L. Pasternak are presented as examples of a single mining landscape. The strategy of successfully developing literary landscapes is applicable to other similar ones.
Supporting agencies: The study was supported by the Russian Geographical Society public organization within the framework of grant no. 02/2021-I “The First Literary Atlas of Russia: the most important literary places, landscapes, travels and images”.
