Spanish term

valoración interna/externa

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. Research paper on heritage education apps
The extract below is from the initial section of the paper, which discusses the phenomenon of "heritagization" (i.e., of how particular events or customs come to be embraced by a group as part of its heritage):

Además de los museos, otros agentes han sido impulsores de trabajos de recuperación de la memoria olvidada. Las asociaciones y fundaciones han sido clave en muchos países para desarrollar un trabajo que las instituciones han obviado, ignorado u olvidado. En el caso del Holocausto, aunque en la actualidad sea un hecho oficialmente reconocido y su tratamiento se realice en ámbitos educativos tanto formales como informales, aún existen muchos ejemplos de valorización patrimonial en manos de este tipo de grupos (Nets-Zehngut, 2013). Igualmente, en el España fueron las Asociaciones para la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica relacionada con la Guerra Civil y la transición quienes comenzaron con el proceso patrimonializador y, aún hoy, lo continúan (Gálvez Biesca, 2006; Gutierrez, 2007). En estos casos, la patrimonialización se produce a partir de una **valoración interna** del patrimonio y la memoria, es decir, surge del mismo colectivo que asume el elemento como propio, y no de una institución o administración (valoración externa).

*******

I think that obtaining the 2013 paper by Nets-Zehngut which is cited (which is written in English) would have the English translation of the term, but my registration for the website where the paper is available was not accepted.

My preliminary translation for **valorización patrimonial** is "heritage promotion" but I can see no support for "internal/external promotion" as translations for "valoración interna/externa."

Many thanks in advance.

Discussion

Robert Carter Jun 7, 2019:
Curation? I would be inclined to agree with "study" from the reference given by Taña and Peter, although the word "curation" keeps coming to mind in this context. Any thoughts?
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 4, 2019:
Author uses many internal/external contrasts I also saw "study," but I think the Spanish would have used the obvious translation of "estudio". I ran a search for the author's name + internal + external and find that they like that juxtaposition a lot. Also mentioned, besides internal/external collective memories, are internal/external reconciliation and others that definitely don't apply. I'm going to stick with my answer, even though it seems odd, because it's specifically mentioned in the abstract. I've also provided a link to the author's long explanation of the meaning and consequences of 'self-censorship' and 'external censorship'. What it means, essentially, is filtering out what we don't want to look at to burnish our memory of events.

Ah, LOL! No problem Peter.

@Taña Sorry, I came to this question late and was amusing myself by looking fir the article.

@ Peter / Robert I believe this is the same link: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsd... which I had already provided in my reference.

@Robert Here is a (very long) link to the original article, whcih suggests "study" is the term, I believe. You may have to copy link to your browser.

Proposed translations

internal/external enhancement or promotion

“Valoración”/”valorización” in this context of heritage management has nothing to do with assessment/evaluation, it is equivalent to “puesta en valor”, which means to recognise, protect and promote the value of certain aspects of cultural heritage. While one translation option would be “valorisation”, I have also seen it translated as “enhancement” or simply “promotion”.

It wonder if it could be something like enhancement or promotion by internal agents/enhancement or promotion by external agents...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "“Internal/external promotion” are the translations I ended up using. This seemed to make sense to me in terms of the kind of process described whereby a particular group of people collectively comes to embrace over time some event, item, or intangible element as part of its heritage. The concept is presented as affirmative in nature, and therefore “censorship” does not make sense to me as a translation here. Many thanks to Sara, and to everyone else who responded and commented."

Internal/external assessment

Regardless of how many times I've read the context I still come back to the word assessment. It is nothing short of an assessment of the historic The Holocaust is not a heritage but a part of world history that needs to be remembered and taught. Efforts are being made by the Jewish community to record history as the survivors (internal assessment, per your text) are slowly passing on and thus, few remain.

I hope this helps!
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Or evaluation.

Thanks so much! I didn't use "eVALUation" due to the monetary connotation. Assessment seems more neutral and thus, better suited for this text.
agree neilmac : I actually prefer this in this specific instance.

This link to an article by the author tells you more about the meaning and consequences of self(-)censorship:

Manifestations of self-censorship include not producing accurate narratives, silence, and the use of euphamisms. Each is explained in the article.

internal/external valorization

I don't like "valorización" or its English calque "valorization", but hey....
I've done several translations about museums in the past couple of years and I usually prefer to use a term such as "assessment" if it's left up to me, but unfortunately sometimes we have to stick to the jargon.

IFWIW, if you run a quick Google search for ""Valorization of heritage", references to several published papers on the subject come up.

NB: Can I just add that I'm not keen on the binomial "valuation and valorization" either... To me, they seem so close in meaning as to be virtually synonymous.
Example sentence:

Valorization of Cultural Heritage. One of the key features of cultural heritage practice deals with the valuation and valorization of heritage resources

Peer comment(s):

agree James A. Walsh : fwiw, hth: what does IFWIW mean? :p

internal/external process to valorize

I think here "valorización" should be understood as "acción o efecto de reconocer el valor de algo o alguien" https://dle.rae.es/?id=bJu47MA and not as assessment or evaluation.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/valorize

This is my suggestion.
