Journal Article
Contemporary geniuses of place as a phenomenon of urban development
2021
Overview
The concept of genius loci has been widely studied in the scientific literature, mainly in relation to the “spirit of place” concept, and outstanding personalities of the past. The paper examines the phenomenon of the “genius of place” as a living person acting here and now, and highlights a specific role he plays in the development of “place”. The authors argue that the role of the “geniuses” is especially noticeable in small towns and settlements. A number of studied cases allow us to identify found “geniuses of places” mostly as “varangians” (outlanders). The paper draws initial conclusions regarding the interaction of “genius” and “place”, formulates possible hypotheses and directions for further research.
