ABSTRACT This paper reads semiotician Juri Lotman’s later works (1985–1993) against the background of the debates on historicity and temporality that were triggered in the West by the fall of the Berlin Wall, from Francis Fukuyama’s ‘end of history’ to François Hartog’s ‘presentism’. The collapse of the USSR provoked a shift of attention in Lotman’s work from signs and texts to historical processes that he rethinks from the point of view of change and novelty, paying particular attention to the place of human freedom and choice in unpredictable historical circumstances. This gives me a new perspective from which to readdress a series of shortcomings in the post–Cold War Western debates on historical time.

柏林墙倒塌后的新思考：朱里·洛特曼（Juri Lotman）的历史对话

摘要本文是在符号学家朱里·洛特曼（Juri Lotman）的后来著作（1985-1993）的背景下，以柏林墙倒塌在西方引发的关于历史性和时空性的辩论为背景的，从弗朗西斯·福山的“历史终结”到弗朗索瓦·哈托格的《历史》。表现主义”。苏联的瓦解促使洛特曼的工作从标志和文字转移到他从变化和新颖性的角度重新思考的历史过程中，尤其是人类自由和选择在不可预测的历史环境中的地位。这给了我一个新的视角，可以用来重新弥补冷战后西方关于历史时间的辩论中的一系列缺陷。
