is a highly dubious practice which makes art into an article for use, for arrangement into a mental scheme of categories.

Interpretation, based on the highly dubious theory that a work of art is composed of items of content, violates art. It makes art into an article for use, for arrangement into a mental scheme of categories.

is a kind of arrogance. What is needed is a vocabulary a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, vocabulary for forms.

What is needed, first, is more attention to form in art. If excessive stress on content provokes the arrogance of interpretation, more extended and more thorough descriptions of form would silence. What is needed is a vocabulary a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, vocabulary for forms.

is a kind of deciphering, but to decipher is to cipher again. The movement only stops on a satisfaction.

Let us say it otherwise: to interpret is to decipher. But to decipher is to cipher again. The movement only stops on a satisfaction. (Miller J-A. 1996 .pdf).

is a method affirming play and trying to pass beyond man and humanism. It is no longer turned towards the origin.

By its very nature, play mocks those who long for stability of a hierarchical structure. Unlike those who dream of an impossibility 'full presence beyond play' (1978: 279), I wish to practice interpretation 'which is no longer turned toward the origin, [which] affirms play and tries to pass beyond man and humanism' (1978: 292). Because such interpretation welcomes indeterminacy and change, it embraces and exploits rather than fears and denies the seductive and subversive possibilities of play' Diversions and Divergences in Fields of Play, Volume 1 By Margaret Carlisle Duncan, Garry Edward Chick, Alan Aycock (239)

is a radical strategy for deviously altering a text without actually erasing or rewriting it. But he can't admit to doing this. He claims to be only making it intelligible, by disclosing its true meaning.

Interpretation presupposes a discrepancy between the clear meaning of the text and the demands of (later) readers. It seeks to resolve that discrepancy. The situation is that for some reason a text has become unacceptable... yet it cannot be discarded. Interpretation is a radical strategy for conserving an old text, which is thought too precious to repudiate, by revamping it. The interpreter, without actually erasing or rewriting the text, is altering it. But he can't admit to doing this. He claims to be only making it intelligible, by disclosing its true meaning. However far the interpreters alter the text they must claim to be reading off a sense that is already there.'

is about nothing other than to teach you to speak like the unconscious (i.e. To master resonance, allusion, implication, silence, quotation, revealing,. Etc.).

To resonate [resonner], to allude, to imply, to be silent, to be the oracle, to quote, to be enigmatic, to catch it in the half-saying, to reveal but who does this' Who does that better than you do' Who handles this rhetoric as if by birth, while you struggle to learn its rudiments' Who, but the unconscious itself. . . . . . The whole theory of interpretation has only ever had one goal to teach you to speak like the unconscious. (Miller J-A. 1996 : pdf.)
