Sur la sémiosphère
Cet article, d’abord publié en russe en 1984, introduit le concept de sémiosphère et décrit ses principaux attributs. Si Lotman parle de sémiose, en revanche, il n’emploie pas le concept de signe, lui préférant les notions de texte, de message, de dialogue et de système, s’inspirant en cela des travaux de Roman Jakobson et du Cercle linguistique de Prague. La sémiosphère est l’espace sémiotique à l’extérieur duquel la sémiose ne peut exister. Ell…

The place of art among other modelling systems
This article by Juri Lotman from the third volume of Trudy po znakovym sistemam (Sign Systems Studies) in 1967, deals with the problem of artistic modelling. The general working questions are whether art displays any characteristic traits that are common for all modelling systems and which could be the specific traits that can distinguish art from other modelling systems. Art is seen as a secondary modelling system, more precisely, as a play-type…

On the semiosphere
This article, first published in Russian in 1984 in Sign Systems Studies, introduces the concept of semiosphere and describes its principal attributes. Semiosphere is the semiotic space, outside of which semiosis cannot exist. The ensemble of semiotic formations functionally precedes the singular isolated language and becomes a condition for the existence of the latter. Without the semiosphere, language not only does not function, it does not exi…
Маска в художественном мире Гоголя и маски Анатолия Каплана [Mask in an artistic world of Gogol, and the masks of Anatoli Kaplan]
Mask in an artistic world of Gogol, and the masks of Anatoli Kaplan. The paper deals with an intersemiotic problem — how it is possible to represent a verbal image by the means of sculpture. It was written as an afterword for a German edition of N. Gogol’s Dead Souls (illustrated by photos on mask-sculpures by Anatoli Kaplan) thus using a style meant for general reader. However, it includes a deep analysis and several important conclusions about …
Culture as a Subject and an Object in Itself
In the classic works on the history of separate cultures, culture was considered as a kind of object standing outside of the researcher. Later, when the process of research by itself had become a subject of research, the history of culture appears in the aspect of evolution of its interpretations
