Spanish term or phrase: “extrañado” / “extrañamiento”
¿Alguien conoce el término técnico en Inglés para “extrañado” / “extrañamiento”? Obviamente no se trata de una traducción literal, sino de un concepto que remite a aquel que se enfrenta a una situación desde un total distanciamiento, de modo de lograr mayor objetividad. Esa distancia propia del extrañamiento muchas veces surge espontáneamente, y otras veces, es forzada, precisamente para lograr mirar las cosas a partir de la distancia con mayor claridad. Es una práctica propia de la antropología.
“El film aborda el espacio a partir de la mirada extrañada de un exiliado; aquel que siente la distancia del tiempo transcurrido, pero que al mismo tiempo no deja de ser un local, alguien que comparte códigos y sabe cómo manejarse.”

dogged anthropologists from the inception of the discipline. European conquest and colonialism had, after all, provided the field for anthropology’s operations and, especially in the nineteenth century, its intellectual ethic of “scientific objectivity.” But “scientific objectivity,” we believe, implies the estrangement of the anthropologist from the people among whom he works.
