Interpretacja jako rozmowa

Abstract

Interpretation – especially in the spirit of hermeneutics, also the radical one, by Derrida – becomes a form of unyielding resistance against all forms of political, ethnic, and religious powers, or the dictate of popular and teleinformational culture. It fosters the development of individual awareness and sensitivity. It teaches critical activity, a distance to various sociocultural phenomena, and readiness to take up a dialogue with others. In this context, the task of a teacher would be reduced, not to revealing all senses of the text, but rather to demonstrating different reading strategies, opening the text, instead of closing it in a leakproof container of sense. Understood in this way, interpretation teaches respect for the other, and enables building a communicational community.
