A guess Barry - but I am sure the author will have a much better response. "Negates the microscopic view" (?) I found this is Merriam-Webster online (m-w.com - a great site). Main Entry: sub·late Pronunciation: "s&-'blAt Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): sub·lat·ed; sub·lat·ing Etymology: Latin sublatus (pp. of tollere to take away, lift up), from sub- up + latus, past participle of ferre to carry -- more at SUB-, TOLERATE, BEAR 1 : NEGATE, DENY 2 : to negate or eliminate (as an element in a dialectic process) but preserve as a partial element in a synthesis - sub·la·tion /-'blA-sh&n/ noun Narrative (adj.) the representation in art of an event or story; also : an example of such a representation ---- Original message ----

Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 11:49:37 -0500 From: Barry Wellman <wellman@chass.utoronto.ca> Subject: [Air-l] translation appreciated To: aoir list <air-l@aoir.org>, communication and information technology section asa <citasa@mit.edu>, communication and information technology section asa <citasa@mit.edu>

A review of Wellman & Haythornthwaite _The Internet in Everyday Life_ (Blackwell 2002) in _Sociology_ 38, 4, July 2004: 641-643 says that "The Global Villagers" article I coauthored needs more:

"sublating micro-narratival accounts of a global phenomenon".

Although I am always eager to learn, this suggestion is not in a language I speak.

My spell checker was no help, even when I set it to "English (U.K.)". The OED (2nd ed.) is no help either, as the first meaning of "sublate" is obsolete and the second and third meanings are different from each other. "Narratival," probably an offshoot of "narrative," does not even make the OED.

I've asked the author of the review for a translation but received no reply.

Hence, I look elsewhere: Can anyone translate in whole or in part?

Barry
