Individas istorinėje bendrijoje. Kultūrinės regionalistikos apmatai/An individual in historical community

Cultural regionalistics presupposes phenomenological approach from beneath instead of cultural theory from above. Research of cultural regions appeals not only and not as much to a certain geographical region, for instance Grand Duchy of Lithuania, as to existential regions, while an individual is realizing one’s utopia that is nurtured in a historical community. As an individual takes responsibility for the communal utopia changed by him, they also are moral regions. Additionally, they are aesthetical regions, while an individual is imagining the harmony of his/her community’s past and future: on the one hand, a region has been seen (sensual perception as a‡sqhsij), on the other, one is harmonizing by reconciling the gone way and the way to be gone of historical society with the help of its biography. As a result, we deal also with the regions of education in historical environment of both an individual and community, the priorities of which have been changed by an individual realizing one’s existential project.
