Language as Custody — Writing Without Harm in Post-Interpretive Criticism
\nBy Dorian Vale
\nIn this critical essay, Dorian Vale addresses the often overlooked violence of language in art criticism. Drawing from the philosophical core of Post-Interpretive Criticism (PIC), this work reframes writing not as interpretation, but as custody—an act of ethical stewardship over what cannot be explained without distortion.
\n\n
Vale explores how clinical, ironic, or overly descriptive language can flatten the moral gravity of witness-based artworks—particularly those dealing with trauma, silence, exile, or the sacred. Instead of attempting to decode or resolve these works, the essay proposes a discipline of linguistic restraint, where words become protective vessels rather than invasive instruments.
\n\n
Through real case studies and comparative language analysis, Language as Custody offers both a conceptual foundation and practical framework for how one might write without harm. The goal is not to say more, but to write in a way that holds what the work cannot say aloud.
\n\n
This is not a guide for translation—it is a doctrine for presence. A refusal to violate what resists interpretation. And in that refusal, it calls for a quieter, more reverent kind of authorship.
