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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuri Lotman\u003c\/strong\u003e+; \u003cstrong\u003eMarina Grishakova \u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Tartu, Estonia; \u003cstrong\u003eWilma Clark\u003c\/strong\u003e, London Knowledge Lab, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9.02 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 27, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711436230719,"sku":"9783110218466","price":63.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c2ac7b63c7e718ece574d712bb7fdee0.webp?v=1765058488","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/culture-and-explosion-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
