Spanish term or phrase: entramado de significaciones
I haven't found this term in a text by Duch. Again, is there a fixed way of saying this?

UK English.

Thanks!

"... Estas vivencias no se dan en solitario, sino que se constituyen en un marco o entramado de significaciones, como lo describe Duch mediante el concepto de estructuras de acogida, en tanto que son marcos en cuyo interior el humano puede desarrollar todas las praxis que permiten la contención de las vivencias cotidianas y restaurar el equilibrio perdido en la contingencia..."

web of meanings
Explanation:
That's what I'd say--framework or web of signification (or meaning). Standard metaphor in cultural anthropology, originates with a seminal essay by Clifford Geertz: "Man is an animal suspended in a web of significance he himself has spun, and culture is the name we give to this web of meaning."
