Summary | The article presents a discussion of the place of geographic fiction among other cultural and geographic disciplines. As part of cultural geography geographic fiction belongs to geography of art. Geographic fiction’s subject is an interface between the literary and geographic spaces; a result of this interaction is the literary-geographic environment. Main concepts of the discipline are analyzed including “literary place”, “literary-geographic environment”, “literary travel”, “local (regional) literature”. A literary place is a locus in a literary-geographic environment, the image of which is inseparably connected to a particular name in literature. Three types of literary places are identified — biographic, literary proper, and comprehensive. The former are related to the life of an author, the latter — to his/her works and their personages, while the third group is a product of the situation when the boundary between life and literature disappears. A literary travel is understood not only as a specific literary genre, but also as an artistic means for the discovery of space. A literary travel has a spatial-temporal structure and consists of two spaces the space of a traveler’s movement and a “stationary space” (spaces where a traveler stopped on his way). It is the correlation of these spaces that gives a special coloring to a specific literary travel. A literary-geographic environment is formed as a result of interaction between a system of literary places and the routes of literary travel. Map representations are very efficient for the demonstration and description of a literary-geographic environment of a country, region, or city. | ||
