Juri M. Lotman (28.2.1922~28.10.1993)
Ⅰ.個人簡介
Yuri Lotman是近代最偉大的符號學家，也是近代最偉大的學者之一。1922年，他出生於俄羅斯的列寧格勒(Leningrad)，成年之後，在列寧格勒大學(Leningrad State University)修習語言學。第二次世界大戰期間，Juri Lotman曾服役於砲兵部隊，戰後，他又繼續回到大學做有關語言學方面的學術研究。1950年，他在愛沙尼亞的 Tartu University開始他的工作。在這裡，他建立了他生平的第一所學校，名為Tartu-Moscow Semiotic School；這所學校主要是以出版在蘇俄的刊物--『符號系統研究』(Sign Systems Studies) 而聞名。在這段期間， Juri Lotman在很多不同的領域都有涉獵，包括研究文化理論、蘇俄文學、符號學等等，也因為如此，他也一直都是一位著名的多產作家。在他的一生之中，光是被列印成書的作品就有達到800本之多！也因為他的著作實在太多，要是你想去找出他所有的著作根本是一件非常困難的事，此外，要是想研究 Juri Lotman所寫的著作及其主要研究領域，你也必須要懂得俄文才行。因這兩點，使得許多想對他有進一步瞭解的人都望之卻步。有鑑於此，後代許多學者都紛紛把他的著作翻譯成許多版本，有英文、法文、德文、義大利文及日文等等，以供參考。
