Discovering the Far East...’: Images of the Territory in the Works of V. K. Arsenyev
Abstract
The article explores the works of the Far East explorer V.K. Arsenyev (1872–1930) with the purpose of using his works to find the representational potential of the region’s image. Using social constructivism as a methodology, we outline and analyze scientific and artistic types of constructing the Far East image and demonstrate the place each of these types occupies in Arsenyev’s works.
Keywords: regional image, constructivism, construct, visualization, Russian Far East, V.K.Arsenyev
