Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Mexico | | Spanish term or phrase: Ensayos | I probably should have explained in my previous question that given the various possible meanings of instancias and ensayos, I'm uncertain of how to translate these terms. If it is "essays" it seems like an odd title for a single essay. Also, sorry about the odd spacing but I had to copy this from a .pdf
Tres instancias sobre El otro lado. Ensayos sobre una antropología de la fricción
Resumen: Este artículo está dividido en tres partes. En cada una de ellas se pretende problematizar el viaje etnográfico
con el objeto de documentar la experiencia del nomadismo, el roce humano, los encuentros, entre espacios
físicos e interacciones mediadas por la condición humana que ha sido limitada en el tiempo. Se subraya el
hecho de que son las gentes las que definen los espacios. Son ellas las que lo ocupan, las que le dan sentido,
las que desentierran constantemente la memoria y la lengua para renovarla, y las que registran su existir, su
ser, en un trasfondo de lectura de cronotopos y toponimias. Aeste respecto, sigo la reflexión de James Clifford
cuando nos dice: “Una forma de escritura etnográfica, la descriptiva, ha sido considerada a menudo por todo
el proceso etnográfico. Pero, ya sea escribir subestimando, escribir exagerando o corrigiendo, el trabajo etnográfico
es intertextual, de colaboración y retórico. Se puede ser serio, verdadero, factual, completo, escrupuloso,
referencial —sin pretender describir algo”. |

Explanation:
Or anything along those lines. I agree that "essays" doesn't work here.
I hope it's OK to post lots of alternatives. Any good dictionary would!
