Spanish term

coseidad

Spanish to English Art/Literary Linguistics
I get the meaning, but am coming up blank for translation. I think this should be something like objectivity, but that word has another meaning.

Los frottages de gran formato sugieren una nueva dirección de calcar la realidad de la máquina en su detalle más exacto. Es como pedirle un minuto de quietud al alien para poder enfocar nuestra cámara. Horripilante pero seductor en su poder de evocar la COSEIDAD del auto. Después, ya nadie podrá escribir elegías sobre el coche como un objeto hermoso.

BTW my internet research on frottage turned out to be more than interesting ;)

Sartre (o sus traductores) usó/usaron la palabra, aunque no sabría decir si con el mismo sentido:

\"...Sartre places human consciousness, or no-thingness (néant), in opposition to being, or **thingness (être)***. Consciousness is not-matter and by the same token escapes all determinism. The message, with all the implications it contains, is a hopeful one; yet the incessant reminder that human endeavour is and remains useless makes the book tragic as well. ...\"
