Abstract

The work of Dina Rubina Высокая вода венецианцев (Vysokaya voda venetsiantsev 1999) stands out among other texts of Venetian themes thanks to more detailed descriptions of the soundscape of the city. The article aims to analyze the Venetian phonosphere in the work of Rubina, using the potential of sensory literary geography, as well as soundstudies. In the course of the analysis of individual descriptions of sounds, it turns out that the reason for distinguishing the sound elements in the image of the city was, first of all, the musical education of the author. It is also explained that the image of Venice, including its phonosphere, is shown in the text through the prism of the literary tradition, according to which Venice is portrayed as the “city of death”, “the dying city”, “the city of the dying”.
