Abstract

Both Friedrich Schleiermacherâs lecture Ãber die verschiedenen Methoden des Ãbersetzens (1813) and Walter Benjaminâs âDie Aufgabe des Ãbersetzersâ (1923) are among the most important reference texts in translation theory. Both share the claim to fathom the essence of translation. For Benjamin, the question of translation was of central importance to his thinking at that time. The theoretical elucidation of this phenomenon was his ânext concernâ. But precisely that caused him difficulties, firstly because he was not sure that he could succeed at all, and secondly because he lacked âa very essential help in all the philosophical preliminary work of earlier authors on this subjectâ, while his preferred way of working âconsisted in a critical analysis (of other peopleâs views)â, in which âone can often say things that one would not yet know how to present syntheticallyâ (Br, 259, authorâs brackets). We would argue that Benjamin actually found this âpreliminary workâ in Schleiermacherâs text. Few will deny the connection between Benjaminâs âThe Task of the Translatorâ and Schleiermacherâs lecture. We want to show that Benjamin seeks to engage with Schleiermacher on both the intellectual-thematic and the linguistic-terminological level. The fact that he does not mention him by name is considered as an act of concealment. For Benjamin, Schleiermacherâs text was the archaeological site where he found the fragments he managed to piece together with his own ideas. This was probably more important to him than to refer to their origin. In Denkbilder, Benjamin likens his approach to a childrenâs game, where seemingly disconnected words have to be drawn together to build a meaningful narrative. In a modified sense, Benjamin plays this game with ideas and concepts that Schleiermacherâs text provided him with.
