How to smell like the Care BearsUmberto Eco and Yuri Lotman have been central figures in the development of semiotics,
particularly text-semiotics. Eco has written on the dynamics of the open work (Opera aperta,
1962); in the last 15 years, his A Theory of Semiotics (1976) The Role of the Reader (1979)
and Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language (1984) have traced a project in which system-
atic semiotic theory has opened onto problems of cultural phenomena, interpretation and mem-
ory, and the nature of human knowledge and artificial intelligence. The semiotic project of Yuri
Lotman, founder of the Moscow-Tartu School of semiotics, has also been widely inclusive,
ranging from the semiotics of literature (The Structure of the Artistic Text 1970, 1977, and The
Analysis of the Poetic Text, 1972, 1976) and cinema (The Semiotics of the Cinema, 1973 to
the typology of culture, and historiography. [See endnote.]
