Abstract
The article focuses on the present status of interpretation in the humanities. After poststructuralism, whose proponents have undermined all major components of the humanistic discourse, the role of the researcher also appears to be problematic. The article therefore proposes a new category to defi ne the position of the reader in critical analysis. This has been done through a reference to Victor Kandinsky, a famous Russian pioneer of psychiatry. Selected events from Kandinsky’s life have been juxtaposed with the process of interpretation to produce a new defi nition of the interpreter based on four attributes: textual experience, the contestation of the fi elds of truth, the fear of over-interpretation and the lack of individuality.
