The Companion to Juri Lotman: A Semiotic Theory of Culture

Editat de Professor Marek Tamm, Professor Peeter Torop
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2022
"Juri Lotman (1922-1993), the Jewish-Russian-Estonian historian, literary scholar and semiotician, was one of the most original and important cultural theorists of the 20th century, as well as a co-founder of the well-known Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics. This is the first authoritative volume in any language to explore the main facets of Lotman's work and discuss his main ideas in the context of contemporary scholarship. Boasting an interdisciplinary cast of contributing academics from across mainland Europe, as well as the USA, the UK, Australia, Argentina and Brazil, The Companion to Juri Lotman is the definitive text about Lotman's intellectual legacy. The book is structured into three main sections - Context, Concepts and Dialogue - which simultaneously provide ease of navigation and intriguing prisms through which to view his various scholarly contributions. Saussure, Bakhtin, Language, Memory, Space, Cultural History, New Historicism, Literary Studies and Political Theory are just some of the thinkers, themes and approaches examined in relation to Lotman, while the introduction and thematic Lotman bibliography that frame the main essays provide valuable background knowledge and useful information for further research. The book foregrounds how Lotman's insights have been especially influential in conceptualizing meaning making practices in culture and society, and how they, in turn, have inspired the work of a diverse group of scholars. The Companion to Juri Lotman shines a light on a hugely significant and all-too often neglected figure in 20th-century intellectual history"--

Recenzii

The cheerful colors of the book's cover already say it: Lotman is of and for today. His pioneering semiotics of culture inflected the linguistic bias into a wide array of thinking about "culture" - not as distinct cultures-in-tension but as the environment that makes life livable. The many chapter titles like "Lotman and..." are telling: of the width of relevance of his ideas, of their interdisciplinarity, and of the spirit of collaboration. It gives the genre name "Companion" a new, vital and actual meaning. This book is a great gift to current cultural scholarship.
Inexhaustible in his curiosity and creative intelligence, Juri Lotman is one of the great modern thinkers about culture. His generous mind seemed to dart from place to place, casting a brilliant light wherever it turned. At moments of bafflement, I have repeatedly found in him a source at once of clarification and inspiration. This volume stands as powerful testimony to his generative power across a wide range of inquiries.
