文本结构·符号模拟·文化互译——尤里·洛特曼的核心命题三则

Textual Structure,Semiotic Simulation and Cultural Inter-translation:Yuri Lotman’s Key Topics

一代人文大师尤里·洛特曼的理论建树十分丰厚。我们在这里且对洛特曼在文学学、符号学、文化学领域三个核心命题略作梳理。“文本结构与文本外结构之互动共生”可谓洛特曼理论大厦的主轴,“语言的派生与符号的模拟”与“不同类型文化间的互动与互译”堪称这一大厦的两翼。文本—符号—文化乃洛特曼理论建构的核心话语。文本结构、符号结构、文化结构确乎是洛特曼理论建构的中枢。探讨文本意义—符号意义—文化意义的生成机制应是洛特曼毕生倾心的学术旨趣。

Yuri Lotman,a guru of humanism,made great contribution to literature,semiotics and culturology.The axis of his theoretical framework is“symbiosis of inner and outer textual structures”,which is closely combined with“linguistic derivation and semiotic simulation”and“interactivity and inter-translation among typology of different cultures”.Lotman’s key concepts of“text—semiotics—culture”construct his theoretical mansion.He devoted his lifelong career to the productive mechanism of the textual,semiotic,and cultural meanings.
