Our assessment of the use of the concept of hybrid texts in analysing translations of social and political discourse shows that the „deliberate and conscious” deployment of „strange” features can serve to heighten or to create an awareness of real, putative or contrived differences in assumptions between linguistic cultures. In their alien context, certain terms can spin off unforeseen paradigms and perspectives, as is evidenced in the crosscultural reception of the works of Locke, Hegel, Marx, Mill, Dilthey, Freud and Max Weber.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
