No difficulty is evident, at least from our perspective as naive readers. However, when we grow up and are socialized as reflective individuals, our old new friend, the text, appears in a new light. It becomes an object that requires interpretation, explanation and understanding. Our trust in the text as naive readers may be replaced with deep suspicion or a distant analytical stance. The text might become an object of conspiracy (for example, if we read Fenimore Cooper as representing a colonialist perspective) or of analytical observation (for example, if we analyze it similarly to a mathematical riddle or a frog in a biology lesson). In both cases, the aesthetic experience is lost with our cherished childish enchantment"-- |
