Pamela Barmash's research project examines interpretation as an enduring human activity. She will look at how it originated, how particular counterintuitive forms of it persisted in radically different cultures, the first examples of legal interpretation, and what changed in cultural life that enabled, if not necessitated, the rise of formal interpretation.
