French term or phrase:le recouvrement entre ces deux notions
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!
My "overlapping" or "common features" is strictly a layman's try.
[récusant = contesting, of course]
Must be a very difficult job!

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