Abstract
The present article raises issues regarding the hermeneutics of a literary artwork. Reflection on the causes influencing the descriptive instability of the interpretation of a work constitutes the main point of these considerations. Two perspectives on the description of a work have been adopted: internal (hereafter PW) and external (hereafter PZ). The PW perspective is a reductionist approach involving a stable description; from this perspective, the work is treated as a distinct whole, described in isolation from the real world. Theoretically, the PW perspective governs the semiotics of literature. In research practice, however, the so-called ‘pure semiotics of literature’, i.e. one that is detached from the real world, does not come into play. The other, opposite perspective is the PZ approach. From this perspective, the work, as a part of the social structure (i.e. social phenomenon), is treated as a given. In this regard as well, PZ leads to anthropology (e.g. the anthropology of literature). From this perspective, the relationships between the world of the work and the real world are dynamic and dependent on the ideological point of reference. In this sense a PZ description is also unstable and open. Problems for further consideration include questions regarding the potential for elaborating reliable methods to describe a work from different perspectives (e.g. the semiotics of literature) as well as the ontological fixation of a work of literary art within sociological processes (the anthropology of literature, semiotic anthropology).
