Syberyjski tekst literatury rosyjskiej we współczesnej myśli humanistycznej

The article focuses on the Siberian text of Russian literature – its definition and structure. Referring to Toporov’s concept, which became an intellectual and methodological challenge for Russian researchers, the author points out that Toporov emphasized the uniqueness of the Saint Petersburgian text, whereas in the Russian humanities, apart from the Moscow text, a number of regional/local texts were created: Crimean, Caucasian, Ural, and Siberian. The specificity of regional texts, including Siberian, requires a broader methodological basis (interdisciplinary approach). Therefore the article analyzes several proposals by Russian researchers regarding the methodological approach to this cultural phenomenon. In addition, it indicates pitfalls and difficulties which should be taken into account in this type of spatial study.
