安贝托·艾柯的阐释观：无限与有界

安贝托·艾柯的阐释学理论主要体现在两个方面:阐释的无限与有界.阐释的无限开放性集中体现在20世纪60年代艾柯的<开放的作品>这一知名学术著作中.艾柯将欣赏者和接受者置于重要地位,提倡接受者对作品的阐释过程应积极参与.然而,随着德里达、保罗·德曼、希利斯·米勒等解构主义思想家们所倡导的批评方法的激发,在阐释实践中读者阅读文本的权利不断扩张,呈现出了"无限衍义"的情形.针对此现象,艾柯在20世纪80年代末和90年代初明确提出应该为文本阐释设定某种界限的理论,力图为阐释寻找一种合法的界限,在作者、作品和读者之间保持一种平衡.

Umberto Eco's Hermeneutics: Unlimited and Bounded

Unlimited and bounded interpretations are two aspects of Umberto Eco's hermeneutics. The unlimited openness of interpretation is fully embodied in the Open Work, a famous academic monograph by Eco published in the 1960s. Eco has attached great importance to the appreciator and the reader, encouraging the active interpretation participation from the acceptor. However, inspired by the critical approach advocated by deconstructionist theorists, such as Derrida, Paul de Man and Hillis Miller, the right of the reader to interpret the text in practice has expanded gradually, resulting in unlimited interpretations to which Eco put forward a theory to impose a certain limit to textual interpretation in the late 1980s and the early 1990s in an attempt to keep balance between the author, the text and the reader.
