Особливості структурно-семіотичного підходу Ю. Лотмана до візуальних мистецтв.

The paper purposes to explicate the basic features of Yuri Lotman’s structural-semiotic  approach to visual arts, using examples from different areas – architecture, interior design, theatre,  cinema, and others. Yuri Lotman pays special attention to comparing theatre and film in the context  of semiotic analysis of their dialogical structure. The author states that we should consider the  works of Yuri Lotman to be a great contribution to the visual semiotics of the second half of the  twentieth century.
