Hermeneutics of Scale / EZE, 2025
Background Theory
Using Asemics and Polysemics as a Basis for Hermeneutics
One purpose of representation is to give meaning.
With asemics, a representation fails to give meaning in a particular way.
For example, asemic writing is about writing without meaning as writing. It constitutes its own interpretative genre. However, though the asemic writing may not have meaning as writing, asemic writing often emerges as having meaning by way of an interpretative genre other than the one that initially defines it.
Writing implies that the basis for meaning is in language, and writing thereby calls for its audience to read it. Hence, language serves, at least initially, as the interpretative genre. But should the writing prove unreadable as is often the case with asemic writing, the basis for meaning shifts. Indeed, this shift allows asemic writing to function as art rather than as writing, but nonetheless, asemic writing is a hybrid form of writing and of art.
The Asemic and the Polysemic as Hermeneutic
Asemics starts with null meaning and finds meaning through re-interpretation via a different basis.
Polysemics starts with a surplus of meaning, but it functions much like asemics when its multiplicity, rather than converging to a meaning with an interpretative basis, collapses to null meaning, in which case the polysemic also develops through re-interpretation, often developing as a series of meanings rather than remaining in play as an immediate multiplicity.
For the asemic and the polysemic, difference is a matter of scale.
For both the asemic and the polysemic, meaning is immediately null.
For both the asemic and the polysemic, meaning is non-immediate until an interpretative basis emerges to create meaning.
The partial basis for meaning that emerges both for the asemic and the polysemic often generates a multiplicity.
For example, the writing of asemic writing may yet be interpretable as writing, even if only partially, and this mixture of writing and non-writing often requires its own genre to substantiate meaning.
The asemic and the poysemic thereby form a nexus, which generates a hermeneutic.
