초록

Paul Ricoeur defines a text as “any discours fixed by writing”.
This means that texts have semantic autonomy. And the text with semantic autonomy opens the possibility of various interpretations for the reader and the reader is to take upon the hermeneutical task of finding meaning of the text. This paper compares two different theories of reading that are based on semantic autonomy of texts;namely, deconstructive reading theory and mimetic reading theory.
Paul de Man begins with semantic autonomy of texts and ends up claiming its unreadability. According to his deconstructive reading theory, there is no criterion to decide which has more validity among the various and incompatible interpretations. To De Man, reading is allegory and the unreadability is derived from the text. On the contrary, Ricoeur’s mimesis theory regards the semantic autonomy of text as the reason why reading is being started. In Ricoeur’s mimetic reading, text is reconnected to the reader’s experience of the world,whereas deconstructive reading insists on the indistinguishability between literally meaning and figurative meaning, unreadability of text and the undecidability of interpretation. Even though the meaning of text cannot be fixed and is open to various interpretations, one interpretation can be more valid than the others. Reading is like hermeneutical exploration to reach more valid interpretation while there is more than one possibility of reading. The possilility is not limitless. It is because reading is not an activity of relating to the isolated text, but of connecting between language and the world.
Reading as Mimesis limites the endless openness of interpretations and shows the impossibility of unreadability.
