Abstract
Based on an analysis of contemporary literature, this article reviews areas of new Ukrainian studies on local history of the manorial estates culture in Ukraine. This study began at the end of XIX century and took place during the Soviet period continuing today. Today a lot of publications belong to professional historians and local historians but previous years this topic was explored mostly by art critics and architects. Now there are several trends in this field: 1) the biographical and personal historiographic; 2) the socio-economic; 3) related to local lore and cultural heritage studies; 4) the complex. Representatives of the biographical and personal historiographic trend conduct genealogical studies of Ukrainian culture figures who lived in manorial estates creating a unique cultural world at the end of XVII – the beginning of XX centuries. Usage of numerous archival documents and focus on one or a few famous persons of Ukrainian estate culture are the features of this trend. The second socio-economic approach to the Ukrainian estate culture studies covers analysis of nobleman’s and landlords’ estates, in particular, focusing on their economic indicators and social impact. The third trend related to local lore and cultural heritage studies is represented by real enthusiasts are museum historians, journalists and specialists in monument studies who explores and popularizes the domestic cultural heritage, supports transformation of manorial estates to museums and pays attention to recovering of abandoned sites. These scholars apply results of their practical activity in actualization, protection and public usage of manorial estates cultural heritage. The last complex trend considers a manorial estate as a holistic system. Its representatives focus on complex studies of components and a whole cultural universe of Ukrainian manorial estates.
