Re-seal
A paraphrase is the transmission of text in a different from the original language , which - in contrast to the literal translation - preserving the expressiveness, the mood and the content in the foreground. The term is used in particular for lyric works, poems and songs , where a post-poetry should not only reproduce the content of the original, but also z. B. the rhythm of speech , the meter or the rhyme form of the original.
Particularly with archaic-philosophical texts, due to the differences in language, tradition , history and culture, there is a difficulty in transforming the stylistic devices true to the original . As a rule, emphasis is placed less on the formal and more on the content-related analogy between the original and the copy.
Consequently, a corresponding philological precision is a necessary prerequisite for a high-quality rewriting , but taken alone must not be seen as a guarantee for a successful transport of the language material. Rather, for a real, profound understanding of the writer for his text, comprehensive knowledge of the author, his social and societal living conditions and historical classification is required.
The aim of the work of re-poets must be to make the attitude to life and the thoughts of foreign cultures and nations accessible to one's own language community and to convey them as unadulterated as possible.
Just like the original work, the copy is also subject to copyright.
The importance of adapters in comparison with the original author is often rated as subordinate by the public. This becomes clear not least when looking at the fee: “While the author's fees for German original texts were between 10 and 13 percent [of the book sales price], since the 1960s a writer has generally received 3.50 marks per line of verse and translator - graduated according to Difficulty level - between 10 and 20 marks per page, prominent translators up to 30 marks per page and additional royalties for large print runs. ”(Fenster zur Welt, 2003)
Well-known adapters include Avianus (around 400 AD), Livius Andronicus (3rd century BC), Georg Rodolf Weckherlin (1584–1653), Johannes Bobrowski (1917–1965), Heinz Czechowski (1935 –2009), Róža Domašcyna (* 1951) and Frank Viehweg (* 1960).
