mercificazione Explanation: "...rendere conto di tutte le mercificazioni, non solo di quella del corpo umano..." Forse il significato è leggermente più forte di "materializzazione", ma parlando di valore credo possa essere adatto, perchè è propria a beni e merci che se ne può attribuire uno. Il gioco di parole non si mantiene, ma a dire la verità non mi sembra tale, o comunque fondamentale neppure nell'originale. Example sentence(s):

Non tradurre-do not translate Explanation: If these terms refer to a particular philosophical theory it is commonplace to leave them in their original language of formulation in italics and explain the terms in a footnote or in brackets. Theorists hate their key terms to be translated especially if there is wordplay of this sort involved. I couldn't translate it any better than you already have and would leave the two terms in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2016-04-14 15:21:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have been thinking about it...it could be interpreted as follows: matter(ings)=processi di materializzazione and materializations= materializzazioni (compiute, finite, non più in fase di trasformazione in materia) Oten the ing suffix is used in philosophy to indicate a process which is in progress. |
