Spanish term or phrase: en escena o con fines didácticos
Que la voluntad sea seria y precisa, ya que una promesa por simple juego o de broma, o en escena o con fines didácticos, o un consentimiento simulado, o cuando vagamente se dice, por ejemplo, que se vende algo a menos del costo, no constituye la voluntad de obligarse.

English translation:in a fictional setting or for educational purposes
Explanation:
It's referring to instances when promises should not be binding. In this case a statement "en escena" would be like Galileo's Dialogo, an arguement presented in a fictional setting (escena).
