The article deals with the phenomenon of “mašíbl” from the theory of interpretation point of view. After the presentation of the main features of mašíbl in the first part of the study, attention is paid, in the second part, to the specific hermeneutics which Vladimír Borecký outlines in his general methodological reflections on the theory of culture and symbolic imagination. This theory, as we aim to point out, may provide an instructive clue to consider theoretical issues concerning the understanding of mašíbl. We come to the conclusion that mašíbl is a distinctive type of text that cannot be subordinated to any established kind of hermeneutics, but it needs its proper theory of interpretation. We outline its principal features and call it the “hermeneutics of inappropriateness.”
