desenraizamiento

English translation: Uprooting

Tourism & Travel
Spanish term or phrase: desenraizamiento
Este párrafo aparece en un apartado que hace referencia a aspectos críticos para la inclusión de la gente joven en el medio rural.


"-Procesos de desenraizamiento derivados de no encontrar la cobertura de necesidades sociales en términos de desarrollo personal en el territorio, como áreas de dispersión y ocio adaptadas al perfil del joven de hoy."

Los únicos terminos que encuentro son "uprooting" y "lack of roots" que no me convencen demasiado.

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias

Estrangement


Explanation:
How about “estrangement”? I would avoid “alienation”, a too strong concept not necessarily implied in your source.

http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=est...
estrangement (separation, alienation): alejamiento, distanciamiento

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/estrangement
es·trange)
1. To make hostile, unsympathetic, or indifferent; alienate: The months of bickering estranged her from her family.
2. To remove from an accustomed place or set of associations: art that is estranged from its historical context.

Desenraizamiento significa quitar las raices.


Explanation:
Hola Sonia, ¿cómo vas?

Como se explica en mi enunciado, la palabra desarraigar o desenraizar significa eliminar las raíces de algo; por lo tanto, no puedes eliminar la raíz '' ROOT '' de su equivalente en inglés.

En mi opinión, deberías usar una de las siguientes palabras: UPROOTING or DISROOTING, las cuales significan lo mismo.

rootlessness


Explanation:
I don't disagree with Cecilia's and Toni's answers, but if there's an exact equivalent in English, I think you should use it.

neutral  Toni Castano: I don´t think this can work here. To me "desenraizaminto" implies a dynamic process, whereas "rootlessness" (= falta/carencia de raíces) is the result of it, a state, a condition.//"Procesos de desenraizamiento derivados". Hope, it´s clearer now.
11 mins
  -> I don't agree that it implies a dynamic process. "Des-" just means "without", as in "desinterés". I'm suggesting something like "a feeling of rootlessness", which is the same idea as the Spanish.
neutral  AllegroTrans: This is more like the result than the process
