JERUSALEM TOPIC: WESTERN SIBERIA / LOWER SILESIA
DOI: 10.23951/2312-7899-2017-4-65-89
This article is devoted to a primary analysis of the material obtained as a result of the study of the cultural space in Western Siberia and Lower Silesia in 2017. The study was carried out within the framework of the international project “Visual organization of urban space: preservation, translation, historical and cultural perspective” (Tomsk, Wroclaw). The task of this project: search and description of visual invariants of various cultural areas (in particular, Russian and Polish cultures) in the context of defining the forms of construction cultural, national, civil, religious, professional and other identities through means of visual presentation and communication, along the lines of a multidisciplinary analysis of cross-cultural processes. The author confirms the thesis about the presence of Jerusalem allusions (metaphors, citations) in the space of modern urban texts, using the example of Tomsk and Wroclaw. The correlation of the allegorical and literal in the construction of architectural allusions in Western Siberia and Lower Silesia is shown. The difference between the spatial images of historic Jerusalem and the Heavenly City is considered. The role of the sacred city center in the organization of the city space has been revealed. The role of the monastery court as icons of Heavenly Jerusalem (the new Eden) is substantiated. The semantic and structural connection between the Calvary and the mysteries of the Passion of the Lord is described on the example of the monastery ensemble of the Baroque period.
