This final and some say best book by legendary Russian semiotician Lotman (1922-93) was first published as Kultura i vzryv in 1992 by Gnozis, Moscow; this first English translation is from the 2004 edition in Semiosfera, 11-148 published by Iskasstvo-SPB, St. Petersburg. He deals with the problem of how a system--in this case society--can develop and still remain true to itself. His perspectives on it include a monolingual system, continuity and discontinuity, the world of proper names, the fool and the madman, internal structures and external influences, and the phenomenon of art.
