Aesthetics and semiotics. Developments and dialogues

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide a preliminary overview of the relationship between aesthetics and semiotics. One of the specific places where they intersected was the cultural space of the late Soviets. Thus, in order to provide background information, the article first examines the historical contacts between these two fields in the works of Alexander G. Baumgarten and Charles S. Peirce, and then looks at the more systematic theories of semiotic aesthetics developed in the 1930s by Charles Morris and Jan Mukařovský. The aim of the second part of the article is to analyse in more detail the interrelations between aesthetics and semiotics in the late Soviet period, focusing primarily on the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the conditions that shaped these relationships.
