English term

othering

English to German Art/Literary Philosophy Writings of Husserl
Es geht um die postmoderne Kritik und Philosophien Husserls, Wittgensteins usw.

It is, as Husserl says, experientially obvious that I and the other perceive the same thing, although my perceptions belong to me and the other's perceptions belong to the other (9/389). The world is immediately experienced as one and the same, although it appears to each experiencer in a particular way (3/60[55]). This OTHERING can serve as a leading clue for further investigation.

Veranderung (ja, ohne Umlaut!)

1. Im soziologischen/ethnologischen Kontext wird Othering als Ausgrenzung übersetzt:
"othering": Othering occurs when a group is described in a way that makes that group seem inferior to, or different from, one's own.

2. In englischen Uebersetzungen von Hegels Werken erscheint 'othering' als die Entsprechung für 'Anderswerden'

3. Husserl/Wittgenstein
Der Begriff der „Veranderung“ wird von Theunissen – nicht von Husserl selbst –verwandt, um die Konsequenz der Einfühlung eines fremden Ichs in den Anderen zu charakterisieren. Hier geht es nicht um dialogische, unmittelbare Kommunikation, sondern immer um die, durch die Einfühlung in alter egos Perspektive auf mich erfahrene, „Veranderung“ auf Basis der visuellen Wahrnehmung.)

Here\'s another source:
\"Such approaches are thus irremediably entangled in a politics of identity that not only aims to save an alleged authenticity of that which is one\'s own against a similarly alleged identity of (white male) Western thought, instrumental reason, Enlightenment and universalism, but in doing so also builds on a concept of identity that does not refer to othering (Veranderung) but to the determinable identity of an alleged other and that determines the singular human being through this fixation in belonging.\"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "These are excellent resources. I myself had landed on the term Alterierung in Habermas and was trying to do Google searches with that term--but Veranderung (also spelled Ver-anderung) is indeed the correct answer! I appreciate your effort and extensive citations."

Comment: ""Konstituierung des Anderen" is a good circumlocution but isn't precisely the term used in Husserl, Wittgenstein, Hegel, etc."
