Re: [OPE-L] detour/roundabout way (quotes)

Quoting Michael Schauerte <mikeschauerte@xxxxxxxxx>:

Setting aside for a moment the question of whether "detour" or "roundabout
way" is appropriate to describe the mediated mechanism of value-expression,
I think that in the passage from Marx that Kuruma quotes either of those
terms would be OK to translate Umweg. Also, as a humble translator, I cannot
get too far away from Kuruma's usage of terminology so I will probably have
to make a choice between the two (or use "circuitous route", etc.) to
describe the mechanism of value-expression.


I would say that "roundabout" is better than "detour".  And that
"indirect expresssion" is the best of all.  But this is not a big deal.

Comradely,
Fred
