With Juri Lotman Lecture by Edna Andrews (Duke University, USA)

According to Juri Lotman, any kind of a semiotic system, be that an individual person, culture, school, or a discipline, is in a continuous state of change, striving at the same time to maintain its own unity and identity. This unity is the result of a complex interactions between conservation and transmission of knowledge, and creation of new knowledge in the system.

Maintaining the identity of a semiotic system relies on self-descriptions that are created in the interaction of past experience and the contemporary context. Those models order our present state, but they are also used for re-ordering our past and in creation of our future. To quote Juri Lotman and Boriss Uspenski (1978): “Culture, connected to the past by memory, does not only create its future, but its past as well.” A semiotic system is a creative system through its consistency in re-creating itself and its past.

The 50th anniversary conference of the journal “Sign Systems Studies” (initially Труды по знаковым системам – Σημειωτικη), established by Juri Loman and his collegues from the Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics, seeks to provide new looks on the School, as well as on semiotics and culture in general, from the synergy of mnemonic, auto-communicative, and creative perspectives. The topics of the conference will include:

Creative continuity and continual creativity in art, culture, and science;
Remembrance and its value;
Semiotic mechanisms of memory;
Future perspectives, created by the past;
Dependence of memory on the contemporary present;
Creativity in remembering;
Creative development of knowledge, sign systems, and texts;
Sources of novelty in culture and science;
