Semiotics of “the fourth generation” – an unfinished project?
Semiotics of “the fourth generation” – an unfinished project?

Summary/Abstract: In 1991, a book version of the doctoral dissertation written by Władysław Panas (1947–2005), a Polish literary scholar, appeared under the imprint of a university publishing house from Lublin – a big city in Eastern Poland. Its title in its entirety – In the circle of the semiotic method – stayed within the stream of research proposed by Juri Lotman and his associates. Due to objective circumstances, however, the publication’s reception did not measure up to its significance, and except for the recognition from specialists interested in the subject raised in the book, a further, detailed discussion of the theses presented therein remained missing. It happened so for a number of reasons. First of all, even at the time of it being published, Panas’ book was slightly belated.
