Poiesis (hermeneutics)

In the context of hermeneutics , poiesis means creating a reality by dealing with an object . Understanding and problem solving is seen in this way as a communicative and creative act that is in constant change and does not depend on individual subjects.

Hans Robert Jauß speaks of a “poiesis of the receiving subject” and in this sense distinguishes the poiesis of the interpreter from poetics as the theory of poetry (or from poietics ). From his point of view, poiesis is a work or performance of the recipient in contrast to the producer. Hans-Georg Gadamer , an important stimulator of hermeneutics in the 20th century, brought this kind of truth- finding into connection with the concept of play .

The separability between producing and receiving subjects was increasingly doubted. Jean Grondin understands “understanding” basically as a “processing process” and connects every tradition, translation or processing of a given with the concept of poiesis.
