ON REVISION IN WRITING: a demanding management of the relationship between reader, writer and written text

| Sumario: | The choice of the most appropriate terms for specific concepts is no easy task. Sommers (1978) mentioned that, because of the urgent need to explore a view of writing as a process, no thought was given to finding new terminology, an omission from which the permanence of the term “revision” was established, running the risk of revision continuing to be seen as the last stage in linear writing. This article intends to explore the recursive potential of “revision” in writing, in what it means as 1) checking the expected isomorphism between what is meant to be said and that which is put into writing, so that communication can be at its best; 2) acting at different levels, taking account, or not, of the audience; 3) conjugating what it is with how it is transmitted; 4) distinguishing between self-revision and professional revision; and 5) a culture of a distancing by the reader regarding the written material. |
