LITERARY REGIONAL STUDIES IN THE SYSTEM OF PHILOLOGICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The article examines three options for the content of the discipline “Literary Local History”: the first option is regional literary local history, which studies local, regional literature; the second option is literary local history, the subject of which is a topos that is significant for the writer and has become part of the work and is turned into an artistic image; and the third option is a literary memory map, which involves cataloging, analyzing and interpreting literary monuments to writers and literary heroes. The basis of regional local history is the history of literature, the foundation of literary local history is literary criticism, and the literary memory map – an intermedial and paratextual approach to the analysis of works of art. Literary local history acts as a synthesizing course, teaching a philology student various morphological languages and providing the opportunity to combine academic and applied aspects of philological research. The undertaken research reveals that the most effective in the system of philological education is the integrated use of all three options, which allows to create a systematic and holistic idea of the possibilities and significance of literary local history.
