What is Tzvetan Todorov known for?
I am known for my work in literary theory, particularly my engagement with structuralism and semiotics. My early studies, like 'The Poetics of Prose,' sought to understand literary works as systems of signs, focusing on narrative structures and the general laws of literature. Later, I expanded this analytical framework to explore broader questions of culture, history, and ethics, examining how societies understand and interact with the 'Other' and the complex legacy of the Enlightenment.
