Introduction

This special issue of Lexia. Rivista Internazionale di Semiotica is devoted to the internationally renowned scholar, semiotician, literary theorist, and historian of Russian culture, Juri Mihailovic Lotman (1922-1993), on the centenary of his birth. Lotman’s centenary is a unique opportunity to re-think his legacy to the twenty-first century and to contextualize his thought. It is also a chance to deepen and discuss the constellation of his ideas and to track the ramifications that his work has opened up and inspired throughout his life. The present volume is the pinnacle of a long-lasting interest in Lotman’s work and its purpose is to explore and re-think Lotman’s legacy to the twenty-first century.
