The purpose of the study is to consider the issues of developing a theoretical historical and cultural basis for creating a virtual symbolic environment of historical and cultural memory (virtual tours to memorial places associated with S. V. Rachmaninoff’s and M. V. Aseev’s stay and activities, using special equipment) with the help of the software product 3DVista Virtual Tour Pro. Scientific novelty lies in the following: based on general theoretical provisions in the field of modern cultural studies and the analysis of historical sources associated with S. V. Rachmaninoff’s and M. V. Aseev’s memorial places, the necessary layer of historically and culturally relevant information has been identified in order to create a virtual model of the memorial places. As a result, the researchers have proved that the preserved cultural heritage sites and related archival and photographic sources are more representative compared to narrative ones.
This article examines the problem of historical-cultural significance of virtual reconstructions of places of commemoration and creation of digital museums in the context of spatial turn in cultural sciences. “Places of commemoration” are viewed not only as the objects of virtual reconstruction, but also as the sources of social constructs and social practices, as the elements of cultural capital of the city. In this vein, the projects of digital museums can be viewed as the program for creation of commemorative environment, which in turn, contributes to formation and development of the sense of solidarity in the society. An interdisciplinary approach is realized through the use of methodology of historical and culturological studies, with consideration of the so-called spatial turn in cultural sciences, as well as technologies of virtual design and mathematical modeling. Formation of commemorative environment and civil identity is intensified by any form of reference (including virtual space) to the places of commemoration as to the landmarks of social memory and tradition, key components of historical capital of the city. The projects of virtual reconstruction (creation of digital museum) of memorial places using software platforms with an open code OpenSimulator should be perceived as “augmented reality” of historical capital of the city.
The study aims to analyse the philosophical-pedagogical potential of virtual museums of historic sites as transmitters of cultural values. Employment of mathematical modelling methods, source studies and pedagogical research during executing a digital museum project suggests the interdisciplinary approach, which accounts for theoretical and practical scientific novelty of the research. It was found that the philosophical-pedagogical potential of virtual museums is explained by evolutional specifics of the phenomenon itself: from N. F. Fedorov's conception of "real museum" to postmodernist museological theories.
Проблема охраны традиции, объектов культуры привлекает внимание исследователей к изучению памятных мест как способу реактуализации социальной памяти. Авторами теоретические положения проекта историкокультурной реконструкции "мест памяти" рассматриваются на примере объектов на территории Тамбовской области, связанных с именем С. В. Рахманинова. Определены основные источники историко-культурной реконструкции региональных рахманиновских памятных мест, в которую вошли мемуарная литература, письма, адрес-календари, архивные материалы. Обзор наиболее значимых рахманиновских "мест памяти" впервые включает в себя анализ достоверности факта пребывания композитора в них. Адрес статьи: www.
