In this article, I try to show how is it possible to think the interpretation of
the literary text from the point of view of the politics of writing and the
politics of interpretation, based on the works of the French philosopher
Jacques Rancière. My first step is to think the literary interpretation as an
aesthetic task, which brings back the body into the process of grasping the
meaning of the artistic text. After that, I try to evince that by restoring the
prevalence body, the political issues come to the foreground of literary
hermeneutics. As a result of the prevalence of the body and the subjectivity
of the reader, I argue that we must consider the interpretative process from
the point of view of the ethics as aesthetics, i.e., we must understand the
interpretative cooperation as an intersubjective effect yielded by aesthetics
instead of linguistics.
