TO THE QUESTION ON PAGO-HISTORIOGRAPHY AS A BRANCH OF REGIONAL-HISTORICAL RESEARCH IN THE XIX CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: At the present stage of development of historical science and historical local studies in Ukraine there is a tendency to forming a separate direction of research, connected with studying the history of villages. In such circumstances, it is advisable to refer to the origins of this direction in the XIX century. The main idea of the article is that the study of the history of villages, which were carried out in different regions of Ukraine in the XIX century, can be combined into one historiographical direction under the title suggested in the article – “pago-historiography”, which, in turn, has a complex subject structure. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the need to establish pago-historiography as a separate historiographical direction of regional historical research in the ХІХ century. The article examined the impact of certain general concepts of historical research on the development of pagohistoriography, in particular, the consideration of the history of regions in terms of the history of their settlement. Coverage of the history of settlement of a particular region could use a general territorial approach, reflecting the history of all rural settlements that existed in a particular region. At the same time, the widespread practice was the image of the settlement process through coverage of the history of certain groups of settlements: Orthodox, Cossack, all colonies, foreign colonies. The article also reveals the peculiarities of highlighting the history of villages in different regions. The specifics of the content of the research depended on the specific historical experience of a particular regional society. Accordingly, there was a significant difference in the coverage of the history of villages in the former Hetmanate and Eastern Galicia. Thus, the study of researches and works on the history of villages, which were carried out in different regions of Ukraine in the XIX century, proves that they can be combined into one historiographical direction under the proposed name in the article – pago-historiography. At the same time, several internal directions can be identified: research of the history of villages in the context of studying the history of settlement of regions, which, in turn, can be divided into separate types, depending on the subject of research and author's task; research of the history of villages in the context of the history of cities; research of the history of villages at the background of the history of the territory on which they are located, with a significant diachronic recess, as far as the historical tradition allows; research of the social history of villages of different regions, reflected in the specifics of the historical narrative; special studies of the history of individual villages; general studies of the history of settlements of a particular region. Along with the gained issues, it should be noted that the proposed internal structure of pago-historiography requires additional development.
