	Yuri Lotman
		Lotman once wrote, that the "history of the city is inseparable from its mythology".
		Lotman's dissertation on Russian literature in the pre-Decembrist period was published in 1960.
		Lotman sees the term analogous to V.I. Vernadsky's biosphere, "the totality and the organic whole of living matter and also the condition for the continuation of life." Lotman's spatial model refers likewise to reality, and is linked to the specifics of actual space.

	Välisministeerium : YURI LOTMAN - Doctor of philology, founder of structural semiotics in culturology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Yuri Lotman was the founder of structural semiotics in culturology, and a leading figure in the Tartu—Moscow school of semiotics.
		Lotman was established as the first Soviet structuralist with his book On the Delimitation of Linguistic and Philological Concepts of Structure (1963).
		Yuri Lotman was born in Petrograd on 28 February 1922.

		Lotman's diachronic approach, seeking to understand the role of the "accidental unstable, (and) extrasystematic" (6) at all levels of the semiosphere, is a necessary correction to the synchronic emphasis traditional in semiotic or structural thinking.
		Lotman turns to natural science for an analogy for this dialectic, looking to chaos theory as a way of understanding the interplay of predictability and unpredictability in history, focusing especially on "those critical points ('bifurcation points') at which the predictable course of (historical) processes breaks off" (231).

		Lotman contrasted this model with auto-communication, where the sender and receiver are the same “person.” The underlying semantic content of the message remains the same in auto-communication, but “recoding” transforms its meaning.
		Lotman says that these are strictly “constructed according to clearly expressed syntagmatic principles but have no semantic meaning of their own; we can treat them as external codes whose effect is to restructure verbal communication.
		Lotman’s description of autocommunication is remarkably close to Julia Kristeva’s contrast of “chora” and the “symbolic,” though without her theory of drives.

	Yuri Lotman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yuri Lotman was born into a Jewish intellectual family of lawyer Mikhail Lotman and Sorbonne-educated dentist Aleksandra Lotman.
		Unable to find an academic position in Russia due to anti-Semitism (he was unable to apply for Ph D.), Lotman went to Estonia in 1950 and from 1954 began his work as a lecturer at the Department of Russian language and literature of the pedagogical Tartu University, and later he became a head of it.
		Mihhail Lotman, Yuri Lotman's son is a well-known publicist, academic, and an independent right-wing politician (member of Riigikogu for Res Publica).

		Lotman's ideas reasserting the freedom of scientific thought and restoring the true hierarchy of scientific and cultural values were in tune with the times.
		Lotman's works of the late 1940s-1950s have lost none of their significance, whereas folios written by some of the then acclaimed Soviet authors are hopelessly outdated.
		Lotman was one of the first culturologists to state that culture is a "text" written by mankind.

	Julia Kristeva: On Juri Lotman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Based on natural language, art is nevertheless of another, "superstructural" order: it redistributes the primary logic of language according to new logical rules, conferring on humanity new mental (or, as one would say today, new cognitive) possibilities, different principles of logic for the reconstruction of the self and the world.
		From that point on, semiotics was for Lotman the science that recognizes the intercommunication and the reprocessing - the "perestroika", as he said (see Lotman 1994 [1981]) - of information and of structures as an essential cultural fact, as the essence of cultural and social life.
		In distancing himself from the classic semiotics of Hjelmslev, Carnap, Peirce, and Morris, Lotman did not, however, cross over into the kind of analysis that is attentive to the effects of the unconscious or even to many individual effects revealed by textual stylistics.

	The Semiotic Review of Books
		In the chapter "Dialogue mechanisms" Lotman expands the notion of the boundary by an explanation of the process of "transmission" and "reception" in the dialogue of semiospheres represented by distant and unrelated national cultures.
		Lotman never claims that his model of cultural contacts among distant and unrelated cultures in Europe is valid universally; but to a large extent the model confirms the results of earlier research about the interaction of distant non-European cultures and, to some extent, between China and the West as well.
		Lotman's tenet about homogeneous processes of contact among different semiospheres fits also well the findings of the ambitious project by Prague Asianists who examined six Asian literatures (Armenian, Persian, Bengali, Indonesian, Chinese, and Japanese) during their modernization under European impact (Kral et al.

		Yuri M. Lotman había nacido en 1922 en San Petersburgo donde estudió y tuvo como maestro entre otros a Vladimir J. Propp.
		En otros textos Lotman se refiere a la ostentosa simplicidad del uniforme de Napoleón, quien, sin embargo, prestaba gran atención a los uniformes de sus mariscales y generales, a su teatralidad y espectacularidad: su asesor era el célebre actor Talma.
		La descripción de Lotman subraya que en este caso el emperador es quien observa, que la corte y el mundo entero no son sino un espectáculo montado para él; en cuanto a él, si también constituye un espectáculo, puede presentar sólo el espectáculo de su propia grandeza, indiferente a la propia espectacularidad.

		Bakhtin was held a Ph.D. in philology, therefore he was not recognized as a philosopher in the USSR, but his influence in the contemporary phenomenology is obvious.
		The linguists Roman Jacobson, Yuri Lotman and Nikolay Trubetskoy, psychoanalysts Wladimir Granoff and Sabina Speilrein, folklorist Vladimir Propp, were more prolific for world philosophy than some professors of philosophy.
		I am not so ambitious to find any easy way to separate important thinkers from the common ones and to answer in two words the question "what is philosophy," but I will define my principle of selection thusly: I include not only philosophers but also theorists who have had an influence on further philosophical conception.

		The Kommersant newspaper reported Wednesday that the sticking point in the talks was the insistence by Media-Socium, a noncommercial partnership, to hold the channel's license and hire the consortium as a de facto general contractor to produce the programming.
		While U.S. law is based on the premise that law enforcement agencies must be held in check, Russian civil rights advocates say the premise of SORM is that Russian law enforcement can be trusted to keep itself in check.

		The result is a poem itself deeply encoded, as Lotman would have it, by the workings of poetic invention, a text which seeks a poetic "truth" neither historical nor ahistorical, neither wholly true nor wholly invented.
		Historical narrative and novels associated with it are subject to temporal and causal sequence and as such are oriented towards the end.
		In Universe of the Mind, Yuri Lotman adds simply that the historian "predicts backwards" (236) from the present to the past historical moment, that, in effect, "the historian reconstructs the events in the opposite direction" (237).
