Part 2 Interest
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 April 2020
Summary
Interest disrupts the idea that meanings are shared in communication – a common definition of communication as meaning-congruence, as shared understanding between participants, as the meeting of minds. This assumption frequently underlies theories of meaning that prioritize communication over representation and interpretation. However, as soon as representation and interpretation are brought into the picture, productive divergences in interest and conflicts of interest come into view.
