Sartre distinguishes objectification from alienation through human-translatable relations of generosity versus oppression

Evidence

But if this is so—and it seems to me, particularly judging from the kinds of examples that Sartre uses, that he has in mind a relatively literary model, the way a writer objectifies and alienates himself in language—then there is really no way to distinguish clearly between what we might call normal, human objectification, and what Marx sees as alienation caused by the socio-economic system. This objection, however, does not take into account the basic duality we have described above; for we must always remember that for Sartre any relationship to an object can be retranslated back into terms of human relationships. At that point, it becomes clear how we are to distinguish objectification from alienation: the first is a relationship to objects which in human terms translates into a generosity or a freedom with respect to other men, while the second translates into work for another man, and into a relationship of oppression by him. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 480

• DEFINE: Jameson’s precise Sartrean distinction — objectification = generosity toward others, alienation = labor-for-another/oppression — is the key conceptual axis here.
