Odessa. City's Main Street
Journal Title: Лабиринт. Журнал социально-гуманитарных исследований - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The article deals with the concept of Main or Central Street in a typical Modern Age city by the example of Deribasovskaya St. in Odessa (Ukraine). Deribasovskaya St. in Odessa is described as the example of the Main Street of a typical Modern Age city. The concept of Central Street is considered in terms of correlation between its function and structure in three aspects: topographic, institutional and symbolic. It is demonstrated that different aspects of City's Central Street are interrelated. The article traces the historical transformation of main street functions in the era of modern mass culture. At the same time it is observed that under new conditions classic Central Street functions are being transferred to a more extensive city center. The research is mainly based on literary descriptions of Odessa in works of V. Zhabotinsky, I. Babel, Y. Yaroshevsky, B. Yarmolinetz, folklore sources and the author's personal observations.
