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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Companion to Juri Lotman \u003c\/i\u003eshines a light on a hugely significant and all-too often neglected figure in 20th-century intellectual history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarek Tamm \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Cultural History at Tallinn University, Estonia.
