A co-worker of mine (French father and fluent themselves) thinks the closest translation would be incarné, which follows on nicely with what Norman has said below.

As a German speaker myself, I just want to add, that even when I write papers in German I stick to the English term „embodiment“ when talking about the paradigm. Maybe a mixture of “embodiment” for the general paradigm and suitable French words for explaining the ideas would be a solution?
Best wishes,

Being belgian and also reading french, I remember dat M.P. speaks about "le corps propre" (in the sense of the larger embodiment as in embodied cognition) and also about "corporeity"
hope this helps

I think Merleau Ponty used "Incarnation", but am admittedly not a high level Francophone.

Hi,
Can anyone offer a suitable translation of 'embodiment' into French? Given that the word is so central to French phenomenology, I imagine this should be straightforward. Anyone?
Best wishes,
Adrian

Hello Adrian
We will shortly be publishing a paper on HIV, violence and pathways of precarity in South Africa. Our French translator (whose background is more medical than sociological) is having problems with the translation of ‘embodiment’ into French. Could you possibly help – or suggest someone who could?
Many thanks
Pathika
