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.
