Paratextual Interpretation

Paratextual Interpretation is an academic analytic framework that systematically examines the interpretive strategies and translational decisions applied to paratextual elements—such as prefaces, footnotes, and cover designs—in order to elucidate their role in shaping the reception, meaning, and ideological positioning of the primary text within a target cultural and linguistic context.
