Polish term or phrase: swój/obcy
Dzień dobry,

tłumaczę tekst socjologiczny (socjologia wiedzy), w którym pojawia się terminy "swój", "obcy", "swojskość", "obcość". Myślałem, żeby przetłumaczyć te słowa jako "fellow countryman", "foreigner" oraz "homeliness" i "foreignness", ale sam już nie wiem. Z góry dziękuję za sugestie.

pozdrawiam

Paweł

the Self vs. the Other//Us vs. Others


Explanation:
The phenomenology, the terms the Other and the Constitutive Other identify the other human being, in their differences from the Self, as being a cumulative, constituting factor in the self-image of a person; as their acknowledgement of being real; hence, the Other is dissimilar to and the opposite of the Self, of Us, and of the Same.

people/alien


Explanation:
Nazi propagandists exploited pre-existing images and stereotypes to give a false portrayal of Jews. In this false view, Jews were an “alien race” that fed off the host nation, poisoned its culture, seized its economy, and enslaved its workers and farmers.
