the literary references chosen seem highly tangential without a great deal more exposition.

ostranenie (остранение) is wrong otstranenie (отстранение) is right Synthmax 21:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

My understanding (mind you, without knowledge of Russian) is that though there is such a word "otstranenie" meaning "pushing aside, dismissal" the word "ostranenie" is supposed to be a neologism Viktor Shklovsky coined to convey the specialized sense he wanted of having the familiar and commonplace made strange or alien. Beyond that, I couldn't venture to say, but I have seen this confusion pop up elsewhere, which receives the same response. In the article it duly credits Shklovsky. Batula 19:13, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
