Description This paper examines the cultural conditions which give rise to interpretations, through the focus on sites of memory. A central concept in my inquiry, and one relevant to understanding the basic features of the polysemic dynamics of meaning constructions is that of interpretive communities. This notion of community of interpreters can be traced to the works of Stanley Fish, Thomas Kuhn and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The paper takes issues with the question how change is possible within interpretive communities while it can be treated as fundamental to the phenomena of interpretive variation over time. It argues that the position asserting that interpretive change results from persuasion driven by linguistic performance have to be contrasted to an approach suggesting a more agonistic transformation process. A critical hermeneutics of commemoration practices is argued for.
