Otázka mezí interpretace – Ecova reinterpretace otevřeného čtení

Abstract

The study deals with the question of limits of interpretation in the context of contemporary literary theory, especially the conceptions which accent a reader’s autonomy of interpretation and examine text as an abstract entity. It particularly concentrates on the Eco’s concept of overinterpretation and the textual coherence as a criterion of falsification in literary theory and presents its strenghts and weaknesses in the above mentioned context and with regard to its applicability in interpretation practice.
