Summary/Abstract: In 2002 the Department of Semiotics of the Tartu University got 10 years old. Juri Lotman, the founder of the Department, would have turned 80 in the same year. This was a symbolic reason to invite from all over the world scholars respecting semiotic thinking and/or J. Lotman’s scientific legacy to Tartu. So the international conference “Cultural Semiotics: Cultural Mechanisms, Boundaries, Identities” (25.02–2.03.2002) was born.
