Spanish term

marcación

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. sociology/anthropology
I am translating a text by an anthropologist that includes this term. Here are some examples of how it is used in the social sciences:

La distinción entre riesgo y peligro hace posible una marcación a ambos lados, pero no a los dos a la vez.

Procesos de marcación social desde una antropología de la memoria: la escritura del pasado según las asociaciones étnicas lituanas en Argentina.

Llama la atención en su contratapa el modo en que se presenta al autor, una primera "operación de marcación" que, como recuerda Bourdieu,1 orienta la recepción y la lectura: "uno de los mayores filósofos del siglo XX".

“(…) emergen en el juego de modalidades específicas de poder y, por ello, son más un producto de la marcación de la diferencia y la exclusión que signo de una unidad idéntica y naturalmente constituida: una «identidad» en su significado tradicional (es decir, una mismidad omniabarcativa, inconsútil y sin diferenciación interna)”

Francois has provided one example. Here's a couple more:

Émile Durkheim, one of the founders of the social sciences, began to address the social marking of deviance in the late nineteenth century.

It means labelling or perception.

Here's what's wrong with marking... Cannot find any anthropology or sociology texts that using "marking" the way "marcación" is used in the Spanish language examples.

Differentiation is the term used in social sciences.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Charles Davis : It is indeed used, but you haven't shown that marcación has this meaning.

https://ludwig.guru/s/social demarcation

"Even though we use the term 'social dialect' or 'sociolect' as a label for the alignment of a set of language structures with the social position of a group in a status hierarchy, the social demarcation of language does not exist in a vacuum. Speakers are simultaneously affiliated with a number of different groups that include region, age, gender, and ethnicity, and some of these other factors may weigh heavily in the determination of the social stratification of language variation.
