German term

Anerkennungsraster

German to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
From a description of a photo exhibition: "Die Akzentuierung des Kamerablicks erhebt die Fotoperformance zu einer Szene der Subjektivierung, die abseits des gesellschaftlichen Feldes und seiner dominanten Anerkennungsraster einen Raum der kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den verbreiteten Männlichkeitsbildern eröffnet..."

agree David Hollywood : I was thinking "recognisabilty" and I think we can just take "raster" as implicit in the equation... like "prevailing" too ... was thinking "predominant" but "prevailing" is nice

agree Herbmione Granger : Creative. Also, I am opposed to turning pattern recognition into recognition pattern.
