peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1Witnesses to the power-of-attorney Explanation: La palabra contestatario me parece que puede derivarse de "conteste" que según el Dic. de la Lengua Española (Real Academia) significa "testigo que declara lo mismo que ha declarado otro, sin discrepar en nada". Espero te ayude, Saludos, Sery |

non-traditional / non-conventional / Explanation: You can use any of thse. PLEASE SEE THIS TEXT : No pocos lectores confiesan la incredulidad que las lecturas primigenias de las obras del Postboom les han producido, pues desprovistos de un asidero teórico conveniente se inclinan de inmediato a compararlas con las del Boom. Una vez resuelto ese vacío, vuelven deslumbrados del nuevo viaje y armados con una visión más positiva y realista de los logros conseguidos por aquellos autores que Angel Rama bautizó con la frase "los contestatarios del poder"2. 1. Nos referimos aquí solo a la narrativa de este nombre en su acepción específica; es decir, a la producción de los autores que Angel Rama llamó "los contestatarios del poder". No tratamos, por tanto, otras modalidaes -salvo referencialmente- que integran el rico espectro ficcional del continente. Esta tendencia, como hemos dicho en nuestro libro ¿Qué es el Postboom? (La Habana: Letras Cubanas, 1966), tiene su nacimiento a finales de la década del sesenta y su plenitud en las del ochenta y noventa. 2 |

anti-establishment types/element; the anti-establishment Explanation: I agree that the second "term" must be a typo. Here is what the Oxford SuperLex has, for the adjective, contestatario: contestatario1 -ria adj anti-establishment, rebellious contestatario2 -ria m, f rebel But I don't think you really want "rebel" here, whereas "anti-establishment" definitely is the right direction. Problem: how to use this as a noun? Here is what I found, fishing around with Google: The Konformist - Skolnick: ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT TYPES The Konformist, KON4M 99 June 1999. ... 9800 So.
