Lietuviešu kultūrpēdas Latgalē
ENThe present paper regards Lithuanian culture in Latgale in a diachronic perspective, from the ethnogenesis of the Balts to the Lithuania oriented texts by young generation Latgalian authors. The authorís focus is on Latgale with smaller attention paid to studying autonomous Lithuanian culture or the formula ìLithuania Latgaleî. Special attention is attributed to less known culture facts that brightly illustrate the coexistence of the Latgalian and the Lithuanian in Latgalian culture space. Latgalian authors of the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries represent a special phenomenon; most of them have studied Latvian philology and write and publish texts in Latgalian with voluminous interpositions in the Lithuanian language. The present paper may be used for cross-culture, Baltic philology, and Latgalian studies.
