Yu. M. Lotman and Contemporary Narratology
No full textThe paper reconstructs the influence of the semiotic studies of Yu. Lotman on the formation of the problems and the research apparatus of modern (“post-classical”) multimedia narratology, associated with the names of J. Genette, P. Ricoeur, W. Schmid and others. In particular, the author discusses the emergence of scientific interest in the film narrative, which has also had a significant impact on literary narratology, enriching it with the constructive concept of the “narrative image”. The article focuses on Lotman’s storytelling research, especially the concept of “plot-driven texts” of culture in their opposition to “plotless texts”. Particular importance is attached to the distinction between plot and myth, which continued O. M. Freidenberg’s investigations into the origin of narration. Lotman’s pioneering role in mastering the scientific categories of “narrative worldview” and “narrative event” is described. The author reveals the place of Lotman's research heritage in the comprehension of narrative practices as a tool for mental appropriation of life, accumulation and retranslation of event experience, as well as in the birth and development of the modern project of historical narratology

Yu. M. Lotman and the Problems of Theoretical Literary Criticism
No full textIn the article, the author tries to assess the contribution of Yu. M. Lotman to the development of basic concepts of literary theory, which, along with the study of the problems of culture studies and the history of Russian literature, played an extremely important role in philological science. Among the large number of monographs and articles written by the scholar from Tartu, “Lectures on Structural Poetics” (1964) and “Culture and Explosion” (1992) stand out. According to the author of this article, it was in these works that the main break through took place, which put up an end to the rule of dogmatic literary criticism and opened up new opportunities in the field of philology. In particular, in the first book, the concept of structure as an epistemological category was postulated for the first time, in contrast to composition, which represents the material embodiment of the structure in text. In the last study, Lotman largely develops a number of new ideas, in which the text is understood as a field of relationships between systemic and non-systemic elements and suggests the possibility of various options for its development. In “Culture and Explosion”, the scholar presented a set of ideas that largely coincide with the thoughts of European poststructuralists, but differ in the interpretation of the main features of the literary process
Yu. N. Chumakov: Memories of Meeting Yu. M. Lotman
No full textThe article features an excerpt from Chumakov’s memoirs, describing how, in the late 1960s, he got acquainted with Lotman’s book Lectures on Structural Poetics and then met the author of the lectures at the Pushkin Conference in Pskov. According to the memoirist, Lotman’s Lectures on Structural Poetics gave literary studies in the 1970s a new language, which may then have been modified within some other schools of literary studies, but it laid the foundation for the scientific description of the fiction text. Investigation of the fiction text has been characterized since the late 1960s by the structuralist approach. The memoirs also mention Chumakov’s defending his candidate dissertation, in which Lotman acted as an opponent (the dissertation was entitled “Problems of Pushkin’s Poetics: (Lyrics, The Stone Guest, Eugene Onegin)” and was defended in Saratov, in 1970.
One part of Chumakov’s candidate dissertation, as well as his report at the Pushkin conference in Pskov, was devoted to the role of the notes and “Passages from Onegin’s Journey” in Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin”. Independently of each other, Chumakov and Lotman came to the conclusion that the notes are not a supplement, but real independent parts within the novel in verse, along with its eight chapters
