The article presents the functioning of the heritage of the Russian colonization of northern California in the cultural memory of the inhabitants of these and surrounding areas of the state that belonged to Russia in the 19th century. The research concerns a specific location, the settlement known as Fort Ross, located in northern California. Today it has the status of the State Historic Park. The non-governmental organization Fort Ross Conservancy operates there, and this activity was analyzed using a case study research method. The characteristic elements of the cultural memory of the inhabitants of this territory were researched, such as: important historical figures, the most important events associated with for the formation of collective identity, institutions and organizations acting as memory guardians, as well as material and immaterial cultural heritage. These elements were analyzed in terms of the differentiation of their functioning in local cultural memory depending on a specific group (ethnic, cultural, religious) or specific subjects of cultural memory.
Metini / Fort Ross. Rosjanie w Kalifornii. Początki
Artykuł ukazuje funkcjonowanie dziedzictwa rosyjskiej kolonizacji północnej Kalifornii w pamięci kulturowej mieszkańców tych oraz okolicznych terenów stanu, które należały w XIX wieku do Rosji. Analizie poddano konkretne miejsce, a mianowicie osadę znaną pod nazwą Fort Ross, znajdującą się w północnej Kalifornii. Dziś ma ona status Stanowego Parku Historycznego. Swoją działalność prowadzi tam także organizacja pozarządowa Fort Ross Conservancy, którą to działalność przeanalizowano za pomocą metody badawczej case study (studium przypadku). Zbadano charakterystyczne elementy pamięci kulturowej mieszkańców tego terytorium, takie jak: ważne postaci historyczne, wydarzenia kluczowe dla kształtowania się zbiorowej tożsamości, instytucje i organizacje pełniące funkcję strażników pamięci, a także materialne oraz niematerialne dziedzictwo kulturowe. Elementy te przeanalizowano pod kątem zróżnicowania ich funkcjonowaniu w lokalnej pamięci kulturowej w zależności od konkretnej grupy (etnicznej, kulturowej, religijnej), bądź konkretnych podmiotów pamięci kulturowej.
