Yuri Lotman (1922-1993) was a prominent Russian intellectual and
theorist. This book presents a new reading of his semiotic and
philosophical legacy. The authors analyse Lotman's semiotics in a
series of temporal contexts, starting with the rigidity of
Soviet-era ideologies, through to the post-Soviet de-politicization
that - paradoxically enough - ended with the reproduction of
Soviet-style hegemonic discourse in the Kremlin and ultimately
reignited politically divisive conflicts between Russia and Europe.
The book demonstrates how Lotman's ideas cross disciplinary
boundaries and their relevance to many European theorists of
cultural studies, discourse analysis and political philosophy.
Lotman lived and worked in Estonia, which, even under Soviet rule,
maintained its own borderland identity located at the intersection
of Russian and European cultural flows. The authors argue that in
this context Lotman's theories are particularly revealing in
relation to Russian-European interactions and communications, both
historically and in a more contemporary sense.
