Topic | RUSSIA’S CULTURAL LANDSCAPES IN HISTORICAL ASPECT |
| Summary | An active search for new approaches to understanding historical processes is characteristic of Russian historical science of the post-Soviet period. The purpose of the article is to analyze the development of the “religious landscape” concept and its conceptual diversity, as well as the methods and cognitive possibilities of its application in modern historical research. The authors consider the interpretations of such concepts as “religious landscape”, “Orthodox landscape”, “sacred space”, “monastery landscape” proposed by historians. The paper indicates that historians have a shared understanding of religious landscape as a part of cultural landscape and in perceive it as a system that includes natural and cultural objects used in religious practices. There are differences in definition of the term “religious landscape” which are due to the variety of research objectives and the possibilities of available historical sources. Particular attention is paid to the “Orthodox landscape” concept which is increasingly being used in historiography. The article also considers the concept of the monastery landscape as a type of local cultural landscape and as a part of regional and national religious landscape. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that future use of the landscape approach is promising for studying religiosity, adaptive practices and forms of organizing religious life. Addressing the spatial markers of religious, economic, and social practices of religious institutions helps historians more fruitfully take into account the interaction of all spheres of influence of a religious organization on society. The prospect of applying the landscape approach in local and regional historical studies seems to be in a systematic analysis of the totality of religious objects, ritual practices, spatial symbolism and sacred topography. The inclusion of historians in interdisciplinary studies of religious landscapes will enrich them with a detailed study of the history of landscape-forming society and give an answer to the question of the objective boundaries of the application of this approach in studying different eras. | ||
