Tourist of the Memorial Landscape: "New Pilgrim" or "Weary Urbanite"?

In contemporary culture, memorial landscapes – sites of collective memory and historical continuity – play a significant role. Based on sociological diagnostics (empirical research conducted through five field expeditions), this study examines the regional memorial landscape of Arkaim, an archaeological site and a natural-cultural reserve in the Southern Urals. It synthesizes the motivations, types of activities, the specifics of material and symbolic expressions of identity, and the profiles of modern tourists.

Abstract

In contemporary culture, memorial landscapes – sites of collective memory and historical continuity – play a significant role. Based on sociological diagnostics (empirical research conducted through five field expeditions), this study examines the regional memorial landscape of Arkaim, an archaeological site and a natural-cultural reserve in the Southern Urals. It synthesizes the motivations, types of activities, the specifics of material and symbolic expressions of identity, and the profiles of modern tourists.
