A good translation for "as such"?

Question

Hello all, I have noticed that I don't have a solid translation in my head for "as such", which is a useful term to use in literary papers and descriptions.

Here is my sentence:

Para entender bien esta alegoría moderna ya no importa tanto el tiempo fijo sino el tiempo psicológico en el cual reside la memoria y as such (tal como?), toda la vida anterior del presente.

I would appreciate your response on this, or any equivalents you may think are relavent. ¡Muchas Gracias!

Answer 1

as such (tal como?)

jeje, you almost got it right

como tal is what you are looking for

Para entender bien esta alegoría moderna no importa tanto el tiempo fijo ??? sino el tiempo psicológico en el cual reside la memoria y como tal, toda la vida anterior del presente.

In any case, this sentence sounds weird, can you give us the English version?

Answer 2

I think they meant "tiempo real", and that "es decir" would work better than "y como tal", at least in what I would take the English sentence to be.

Answer 3

I found this is a dictionary.

as such

como tal, propiamente dicho

It’s not a promotion as such. No es un ascenso en el sentido estricto.

such as

Such as? ¿Por ejemplo?

flowers such as orchids flores como las orquídeas

such as it is / they are

This is my flat, such as it is. Este es mi apartamento, ya ves.
