"Οι μαθητευόμενοι δεν αφομοιώνουν απλώς κάποια ύλη, κάποια γνώση για κάποια αντικείμενα, αλλά μαθαίνουν και τους τρόπους σκέψης, οργάνωσης και δράσης των κοινοτήτων και, συνεπώς, η μάθησή τους αλλάζει την {κοινωνική τους υπόσταση}, την ταυτότητα των ίδιων των μαθητευόμενων υποκειμένων."
"Η μάθηση δεν συνιστά μόνο μια συσσώρευση γνώσεων, αλλά αποτελεί μια διαδικασία που οι ανθρωπολόγοι ονομάζουν «εκκοινώνηση» και αφορά σαφώς όχι μόνο τις γνωστικές ικανότητες και γνώσεις του υποκειμένου αλλά την {κοινωνική του υπόσταση} συνολικά. "
Δεν πρόκειται για social staus, δηλαδη για άνοδο σε μια κοινωνική ιεραρχία, αλλα για την "κοινωνική διάσταση της ύπαρξης τους". Σκέφτηκα τα social existence, social substance, social presence αλλα κάθε ένα με τον τρόπο του μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε παρεξήγηση. Κάποια ιδέα;

social being
I assume that you have translated "εκκοινώνηση" as socialisation/socialization. If so, "social being" would be an appropriate term that befits one's acquisition of skills and knowledge as a member and/or to become a member of society.

Comment: "Thanks, that works great! For the record, «εκκοινώνηση» would be "enculturation". There is a very subtle difference between enculturation and socialisation, in that the latter emphasises the conscious and deliberate aspects of the internalisation of cultural norms and values."

| Thanks for your meticulous research and explanation. I think, however, that "υπόσταση" in this context goes a tad deeper, it relates to an individual's "social essence", not just his or her assumed role or place in the hierarchy. I know that there is a philosophical debate on whether there is a valid distinction between the role and the essence of a person, but I just aim to follow the author's intention... |
Discussion
It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence but their social existence that determines their consciousness.
