名詞

re-presentation (countable かつ uncountable, 複数形 re-presentations)

1. Presentation again or anew.
   • 2004, Caroline Howarth, “Re-presentation and resistance in the context of school exclusion: reasons to be critical”, in Journal of community & applied social psychology‎^[1], page 4:

     The social basis and critical tool within the theory is its emphasis on re-presentation. The hyphen is important here as it highlights the ongoing, the relational and fundamentally the contested nature of re-presentation. It reminds us of the argumentative character of dialogue and practice (Billig, 1998; Howarth, 2003), and so presents us with the possibility of agency, resistance and social change.

2. (Catholicism, by extension) Presentation anew of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ through the Eucharist.
   • 2021, Anna Svendsen, “C. C. Martindale (1879–1963), the History of Religions, and the Theological Imagination of David Jones (1895–1974)”, in Journal of Jesuit Studies‎^[2], page 566:

     ...but one constant of his work was his thinking about the theology of the eternal sacrifice (self-offering) of Christ on the cross and its relationship to the Eucharist. Jones was particularly interested in the relationship between the Mass and time, and constantly meditated on the Mass’s ability to touch all moments of history through the dynamic of “re-presentation” (anamnesis).
