presentification (uncountable)

  1. (philosophy) The act or process of making something present to consciousness; the intentional act of rendering an object or experience present, especially when it is not originally or directly given.

Usage notes

In Husserlian phenomenology, presentification (Vergegenwärtigung) is distinguished from presentation (Gegenwärtigung). While presentation gives an object directly (e.g., perceiving a tree), presentification gives it indirectly through memory, imagination, or empathy.
