Interpretative authority is one of the concrete implementation of final state reasons in favor of what a carrier of -Anspruches its interpretive majestic as authorization and / or truth seems to recognize. The attempt to influence public opinion within a company, an ideological organization, within a family clan or society as a whole is associated with the claim to be able to interpret only one topic correctly . The sovereignty of interpretation can arise through manipulation or appropriation of the communication-economic infrastructure, be it through the takeover of a media company by the military or through censorship instructions from a state department. The collection can also take place through the design sovereignty of the chain of command , such as in the military, within a corporation, a media company, a work group or a political or ideological sect. Interpreting sovereignty can also take place by suppressing plausible but unpopular arguments or by not deciding on concerns that have been presented. The concept of "interpretative sovereignty" is similar to that of "power of definition", as it was developed to analyze the "different stages of social production of crime" and demonstrated using the police as an example (cf. Johannes Feest / Erhard Blankenburg, Die Definitionsmacht der Polizei. Strategies prosecution and social selection, Düsseldorf: Bertelsmann Universitätsverlag 1972, p. 20).
