The Limits Of Interpretation

In the process of liquidation and correction to the metaphysics tradition of essentialism since the modern society, the indeterminacy of literature interpretation and literature meaning has been made widely known or even been exaggerated. Some interpretations and criticizes, such as desconstructivism , have exceed the limitation of text and cause the interpretation confusion and crisis of meaning. So the validity of the interpretation has been queried. Is interpretation possible? How it comes to be possible? How the meaning of literary brings out? Is the literary interpretation willful? All of them should been explained immediately. The inspection to the limitation of literary interpretation and research for the produce system of literary meaning are not only based on the developing logic of the theory , but also a problem based on criticizes practice. This article explains the necessity of interpretation limitation on re-regulating the limitation of literary interpretation. So desain forms the limitation of the possibility of interpretation. Virtually the problem of literary interpretation is one of meaning producing. There are contend about literary interpretation power which is inter-restricted. The author, text and reader's effect should be balanced in the process of meaning produce. Only in this way the interpretation can meet the need of the interpretation limitation. Specifically speaking, interpretation limitation refers to the limitation of meaning and also the limitation of interpretation activity. The produce of text meaning of literary is limited by the possibility that the author made for the text, and the literary interpretation is also restrained by culture and consciousness. So the interpretation limitation constitute of the limitations of readers, texts and authors, as well as the inter-restricted relations in the context in the specific culture and ideology. With the re-recognition of the interpretation limitation, it seems necessary and possible to exceed the trend of objectivism and relativism in literary interpretation. This article re-constructs the system of interpretation based on the theory of intercourse. As the activity of literary interpretation, the intercourse includes three different kinds. Those are between the author and reader, reader and text and among readers. They are the main ways in literary meaning produce. Literary interpretation is not blocked out but opened. And this kind of open is based on a certain of possibility and limitation, so the activity of interpretation is the produce activity of meaning coming from limited to unlimited.
