migration
This is from a report on migration and how migrants integrate into the host society and challenges to that happening smoothly.
The text lists aspects that the native population of the host country and migrants might differ over culturally and talks about awareness of identity... and then: "Siempre que se cuestiona la identidad de un individuo o de un colectivo es a causa de un conflicto, de un cambio, o de un encuentro diferencial."
Thanks very much.

clash of differences
My understanding of "encuentro" here is "clash"; it certainly seems to fit your context anyway.

differential encounter
It looks like sociology/philosophical jargon, probably meaning something like a clash due to cultural differences.
I ran a search for the literal translation and found one mention in a book called The Future of Invention: Rhetoric, Postmodernism, and the Problem of Change. Google book links don't seem to load very well on proz...

Example sentence:
... becoming a sophist, cultivating the differential encounter with reality...
Note from asker:
Thanks Neilmac, you're right about it being a clash of cultural differences, but I can't go with differential encounter ;-) |
