Interpretive communities are made up of those who share interpretive strategies not for reading (in the conventional sense) but for writing texts, for constituting their properties and assigning their intentions. In other words, these strategies exist prior to the act of reading and therefore determine the shape of what is read rather that, as is usually assumed, the other way around.(...) The assumption in each community will be that the other is not correctly perceiving the "true text", but the truth will be that each perceives the text (or texts) its interpretive strategies demand and call into being.
