I would say it is rather strange to explain this topic without mentioning Michel Foucault and his concept of discourse. Even if Fish doesn't seem to admit it himself, the similarities between "interpretive communities" and foucaultean "discourses" are so obvious, that it should be mentioned. Whether Fish knew Foucault's work when he introduce his concept, I don't know. But he ought to, as Foucault had worked with this concept for a while and French poststructuralist theory was introduced in the US at a very early moment.
