Serbian term or phrase: Ispošćavati
Uopće ne razumijem što riječ "ispošćavati" znači na srpskom.

DELIKATNOST PROCESA NAGLAŠENA JE close up PRISTUPOM, ISPOŠĆAVAJUĆI PROSTOR DISPOZITIVNE EGZISTENCIJE, ALI NIKAKO GA NE I DEFINITIVNO UKIDAJUĆI.

English translation:minimizing
Explanation:
Ovo je figurativno (ispošćavati - postiti), a smisao je koliko vidim u ovom kontekstu lišiti svega suvišnog, svesti na minimum (ali ne i ukinuti, kako u nastavku kaže), tako da bi neki engleski ekvivalent bio minizing, reducing to a minimum, što se tiče semantike, ali moguće je da postoji i nešto što bi stilski bilo približnije.
