Abstract
The article focuses on the formation process of cultural centre in the area of Greenwich Village in New York and life of New York bohemians. Research followed the process of formation of the settlement of Greenwich and its transformation into the New York City area after its affiliation by the city. During the research it is raised the questions of social and economic conditions of the resettlement of writers and artists in the neighborhood and their living conditions and social interaction between themselves. In the process of exploring the prerequisites for the formation of Cultural Center in Greenwich Village was also considered social and ethnic heterogeneity in the neighborhood and its division into zones, each of which corresponded to certain ethnic or social groups. It was determined the existence of the phenomenon of Greenwich Village as a “city in the city” caused by isolation of the area from the rest of the New York from the earliest period of Village history. By the 1830s it was the territorial delimitation and after — a purely imaginary in people’s minds. It is defined three main reasons for the transformation of the Greenwich Village into a cultural centre: its isolation from the rest of the city, low rent prices and the crisis of universities, which forced young intellectuals to settle outside of it
