Französisch Begriff oder Satz: De ce qu’on appelle pudiquement « la vie sociale »
philosophical speech on war/arms.

I found 'vie sociale' to mean 'corporate governance', but I'm not sure if that fits this context. I'm also unsure of how to translate 'De ce que' here to make the first part of the sentence fit with the second clause.

Context:
"De ce qu’on appelle pudiquement « la vie sociale » même si la plupart du temps, et pour une grande partie de la planète, ce n’est justement pas une vie, ou à peine. "

xxxCMJ_Trans: 9:56am Oct 6, 2004: If that's the whole thing, then "de ce que" follows on from what? -
xxxCMJ_Trans: 10:00am Oct 6, 2004: PS - it cannot possibly be "corporate governance" here - that refers to companies and here it has to be "society" -
Vanessa Lindsey (asker): 10:39am Oct 6, 2004: Morning. - Yes, I agree social life definitely indicates the idea of going down the pub etc, which is why I was looking for something else. Also, these 'de ce que' constructions pop up everywhere, and this one proves difficult as it starts the sentence, and makes it hard to introduce the second clause. This sentence comes after the following: "Ce dont XXX nous parle, c’est de la pacification apparente de la guerre civile souterraine, invisible, de l’exploitation." I don't know if that helps really.

Neutraler Kommentar xxxCMJ_Trans: are you sure they mean" social life" - that sounds like going to the pub in the evenings or dining with friends

  -> Would this be the understanding in a paper in sociology? Perhaps we need to distinguish here in what context the term is used

sorry, tried to stop the first entry, and replace \"calls\" with \"terms\" - guess we weren\'t fast enough
