Institution and Interpretation (Theory and History of Literature, Vol 31)

By Samuel Weber and Samuel Weber

Book Overview

This book investigates the forces that shape and limit interpretive practices. Weber suggests that institutions are never entirely free of the necessity of consolidating their authority through an ambivalent process of reinstituting themselves, a process in which interpretation plays a crucial role.
