Abstract

The article presents an analysis of psychological and pedagogical research on the history of psychological travelogues. The meaning of the concept of trevelogue as a form of creative subjective-emotional development of physical or mental space by moving in it is highlighted. The concept of travelogue as one of the oldest forms of human creativity is considered. Elements of a travelogue are revealed: another's national narrative. Travelogue should offer an inside look - an idea of a foreign place from the people who live there, their national narrative, character, temperament. By observing someone else's narrative and comparing it with one's own, one can better understand and feel one's own political issues. Comparing "one's own and another's" inevitably leads to political conclusions. It is not necessary to focus on purely political issues, it is better to show how another form of government affects the expressive features of people's lives and the cultural phenomenon of this country, ethnopsychology, domestic panorama. The humus on which the trevelogue grows is the way of life of the country - habits, dishes, clothes, preferences in ideas, etc., breaking stereotypes. The more we learn, the more "shaky" the typical views become, and persistent stereotypes are questioned; biographical panorama. The trevelogue must have a personal view of the researcher that distinguishes it from others. It is analyzed that emotional constructions indicate that the researcher models the image of the road through the prism of the perception of the anomaly of time, under conditions of a curved continuum. In this way he reveals the model of the temporal-spatial continuum, marked by the loss of the meaning of his existence, his volume and significance for the "I". Psychological creativity illuminates the synthesis of views, beliefs, principles, assessments, life positions, programs of behavior and activities of the researcher. It is proved that the concept of "travellog" with its archetypal elements (Traveler, Way, Adventure) is the most "convenient" toolkit at this stage of penetration into the essence of the mental (conscious-unconscious).
