Instructions:

Think about how you deal with objects whose meaning you cannot immediately recognize

The distinction between observer perspectives is a definite possibility. One can use other distinctions to achieve other purposes.


 


Possible solution:

I experience it as irritation when I have to consciously interpret manufactured things. The pyramids in Egypt, for example, I consider artifacts. But I have no idea what they were made for. The fact that they are tombs seems to me to be a bold interpretation that I would hardly have thought of myself. E. von Däniken gives more interpretations to such examples. By the way, one can also ask oneself how artefacts can be recognized. G. Bateson wonders how he can recognize nature.

There are of course many artifacts that I cannot interpret. For example, when I see certain objects in a workshop or operating theatre that I don't know, I conclude from the context what they might be. I assume, for example, that they are special tools. Such interpretations are based on the fact that I can easily interpret the environment of the objects.
