The 6th Annual Lotman Conference at Tallinn University
Tallinn, 30 May — 1 June 2014
BIOGRAPHIA SUB SPECIE SEMIOTICAE
The Estonian Semiotics Repository Foundation is inviting submissions for the 6th Lotman conference at Tallinn University, 30 May – 1 June 2014. It is the tradition of our conferences to take inspiration from the scholarly legacy of Juri Lotman. This year the conference engages with Lotman’s texts that approach the problematics of (auto)biographical signification semiotically: “The Poetics of Everyday Behaviour in Eighteenth-Century Russian Culture“, “The Decembrist in Daily Life: Everyday Behaviour as a Historical-Psychological Category”, “Concerning Khlestakov”, “'Agreement' and 'Self-Giving' as Archetypal Models of Culture”, etc.

The possible topics include, but are not limited to:

  • ·         Semiotic mechanisms in the production of (auto)biographical texts;
  • ·         “Right to a biography” as a cultural code;
  • ·         Poetics, mythology, and semiotics of everyday and public behaviour: genres, styles, plots, poetics, masks and personae;
  • ·         Author’s life story as a cultural phenomenon; means and goals of the mythologisation of author’s life story;
  • ·         Devices for constructing the biography of a fictional character; the role of characters’ biographical details in fictional texts;
  • ·         Biography and hagiography: semiotics and poetics;
  • ·         Autobiography and confession: semiotics and poetics;
  • ·         The issue of reliability in (auto)biographical texts;
  • ·         (Auto)biographical texts as operative elements in the semiosphere;
  • ·         “Biographism” in the study of culture;
  • ·         Biography of Juri Lotman: topical questions in recent research.

We are also interested in discussing the methodological aspects of large projects concerning biographies and life writing, such as: “Russian Literary Authors 1800—1917: Biographical Encyclopedia (Bol’shaya Rossiiskaya Entsiklopediya); “Right To a Name” (“Меmоrial” centre); “Estonian Life Stories and Oral History” and “Estonian Life Stories As Carriers of Cultural Memory” (Estonian Literary Museum); “China Biographical Database Project” and “African American National Biography Project” (Harvard University), as well as the experience of authors of scholarly biographies, editors of different biographical chronologies, etc.
