Juri Lotman (1922–1993), the Russian-Estonian literary scholar,
cultural historian 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 to explore Lotman’s work and
discuss his main ideas and intellectual legacy in the context of
contemporary scholarship. Boasting an interdisciplinary cast of
academics from across the globe, 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 Lotman’s 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 Lotman bibliography in English that
frame the main essays provide valuable background knowledge and
useful information for further research. The Companion to Juri
Lotman shines a light on a hugely significant and all-too often
neglected figure in 20th-century intellectual history.
