Life-construction” in Late Soviet Society: A Sociohistorical Review of Yuri Lotman’s Theory of Theatricality

Author(s): Kyohei Norimatsu

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines Yuri Lotman’s analysis of the theatrical culture of the Russian nobles from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century as an implicit response to late Soviet society and as a speculation on how to establish an autonomous “private” sphere, independent of the “official” sphere that penetrated almost the entire society. Soviet semiotics began simultaneously with the blossoming of information science in the “Thaw” period. Semiotics was considered to be an “honest,” “sincere,” and “universal” science, free from the ideological “dogma” of Stalinism.
