Problemy odbioru i odbiorcy w pracach Jurija Łotmana. Część 2.

This article presents Yuri Lotman’s reflections on a reception of a literary work in the context of contemporary theories of reading. The first part of the article presents Lotman’s position in an evolutionary perspective from Lectures on structural poetics (1964) to Culture and explosion (1992). The second part places Lotman’s position in numerous contemporary conceptions of reception and points to the close resemblance to Umberto Eco’s ideas, which were developed in his book Lector in fabula.
