What is Visible and What Is Hidden. Cultural Landscape of Kizhinga Town: Between Local Native Traditions and State Ideology

Abstract

The author refers to the elements of cultural landscape (natural and architectural objects) of Russian town, Kizhinga. The most important questions he tries to answer are: how can places, objects and spaces coming from different symbolic orders create a coherent cultural space and how have the meanings and connotations of local spatial forms changed? What is the result of the clash between local native traditions and state ideology, 20th century Soviet style modernization, and attempts to recreate traditions and ethno-cultural identity in a small-town space at the turn of the 21st century.

* The article is one of the effects of the original research project “Local contexts of social and cultural identity and the biographical experience of the inhabitants of Eastern Siberia”. The field of research and theoretical significance regard the basic problems of sociology and anthropology of local communities, biography, cultural identity, civilizational and cultural borderland.
