Ursprung-Quelle

Deutsch > Englisch Kunst/Literatur Philosophie philosophy of aesthetics
"Eine Methode die den Ruf hat, die Entstehungsbedingungen freizulegen, ist die Genealogie. Die genealogische Herangehensweise strebt nicht lediglich danach den Ursprung eines Gegenstand bzw. Sachverhalts freizulegen, sondern eben auch die Quelle, die den Ursprung (mit-)verantwortet zu erkennen. Sie verlangt die 'peinliche Genauigkeit des Wissens, eine Vielzahl angehäufter Materialien, Geduld.' (Foucault) Der Suche nach dem Ursprung mag das Postulat inne wohnen, das, wenn der Ursprung freigelegt ist, einher eine Wahrheitsfindung geht. Doch dies ist der Irrtum einer wörtlichen Übersetzung von Genealogie, denn die Wahrheit der Dinge wird von der Wahrheit des Diskurses verdunkelt, ja sogar zum Verschwinden gebracht."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Eric Zink (asker) Oct 30, 2012:
origin-source This was actually the approach I had taken, but it strikes me as entirely arbitrary, since the two seem to me to be so nearly exact synonyms in English. So much so, in fact, that I have trouble keeping them straight without referring back to the translation to see what I'd already used for which.
Eric Zink (asker) Oct 30, 2012:
genesis-reference Intriguing approach, Ramey. Any reason you chose those two?

roots / innate forces

to not only bring to light an object's roots, but the innate forces [co]engendering those roots

Quelle here is more of a reference to the active agent (i.e. innate forces) spawning those roots
