Social Sciences - Philosophy / Embodiment theory
Danish term or phrase: Oplevelser
This is from a text on embodiment and bodily theory: "Oplevelser, vaner og erfaring indlejres som en præ-refleksiv viden i kroppen". The problem is that oplevelser and erfaring would both translate as experience and I'm looking for a different way of translating either so they are not the same.
I will not pretend that I am a fluent Danish speaker - I'm a German-English translator, though understand enough Danish to get by and have been asked informally to give my ideas on this sentence!
I think it's an interesting conundrum and welcome any ideas! Thanks!
