French term

le recouvrement entre ces deux notions

French to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. social psychology
L’idéologie et les représentations sociales montrent une grande diversité d’approches: d’après Vergès (1991, p. 159) « la réduction de l’une à l’autre ou leur mise en face à face dépend d’un parti pris théorique ». Selon la façon dont on définit ces deux notions les relations qu’on leur attribue ne seront pas les mêmes. D’ailleurs Jodelet (1991, p. 22) remarque que « dans la littérature scientifique, nous n’avons rencontré qu’un seul modèle situant la représentation hors de l’idéologie. Celui de F. Dumont (1974) récusant ____________* le recouvrement entre ces deux notions *__________, dans une approche pluraliste des idéologies qui les rapporte à l’action comme ‘pratiques de convergence’».

I'm afraid I don't seem able to get my head round this passage. A literal translation simply doesn't sound right, but then, not being a social psychologist by profession...

I'd be very grateful for any ideas, preferably accompanied by an explanation, if poss! many thanks!

thanks also CMJ! With the help from all of you, the light is gradually dawning, and what you all say is now making sense
CMJ_Trans (X) Jun 4, 2008:
in the sense of overlap between them - he is challenging the idea that they should be identical, mirror each other
Carol Gullidge (asker) Jun 4, 2008:
.. have to confess though, to finding the wine/viticulture less dry!
Carol Gullidge (asker) Jun 4, 2008:
Oops, thanks Tony! I did change it, but forgot to save the settings before editing the question.

This should be Social Psychology
Tony M Jun 4, 2008:
Still on wine / viticulture, Carol? ;-)

overlapping of the two notions

Drmanu seems to have it.

My "overlapping" or "common features" is strictly a layman's try.

[récusant = contesting, of course]

Must be a very difficult job!

Ta for message!
French and philosophy is one hell of a combination - "quasiment" impossible to fathom. That's what they want!
Pleased to have been of assistance

many thanks kashew, for the explanation - also the sympathy!
Peer comment(s):

agree Melissa McMahon : the only model placing representation outside ideology - Dupont's - challenges the overlap between the two notions

agree Aude Sylvain : agree - the 2 notions can be seen as identical (almost synonyms), or side-by-side (1 concept but clearly 2 sides). Dumont denies the fact that these 2 notions overlap or even partially overlap.

Note from asker:
thanks Drmanu for such a speedy response! But I was hoping for a brief explanation, if such a thing exists!
thanks Drmanu! the meaning is here, but I didn't want to use Convergence twice.
Peer comment(s):
