Interpretation has historically been understood as a method to shrink
the distance between the interpreter and the interpreted. This view
has dominated the comprehension of the interpretation of art: it
always entails the interpretation of something, and this something
must then govern our effort to understand it. If not, we are left with
mere subjective whims. This book tries to modify this well-worn view
by altering the dualist position to incorporate the very object within
the sense-making activity. Interpretation rather becomes the creative
making of something different, and this explains why it is deemed
unfinished. The notion of “re-contextualization” covers this in
between operation (between work and interpretation), and the very
object of interpretation remains just an enabling condition of
transference. Interpretation preserves the challenge, by re-making and
re-locating meaning.
