Culture and Explosion, now appearing in English for the very first
time, is the final book written by the legendary semiotician Juri
Lotman. Originally published in Russian in 1992, a year before
Lotman's death, the volume puts forth a fundamental theory: the
semiotics of culture. Proceeding from a model of communication,
Lotman extends the work of the renowned Tartu-Moscow school that he
founded, showing not only how culture can be observed and
described, but also how it can be governed and guided. In fact, as
Lotman demonstrates with copious examples, the modelling system of
culture has an immeasurably strong influence on the way that humans
experience "reality". As usual, Lotman's erudition is brought to
bear on the theory of culture, and the book comprises a host of
well-chosen illustrations from history, literature, art and right
across the humanities. The book is of interest to students and
researchers in semiotics, cultural/literary studies and Russian
studies, as well as anyone with an interest in understanding
contemporary intellectual life.
