Sociological vocab related to "nomadism"
Hi there!
I am working on a paper on nomadism (sociology) and I have come across some French terms that I don't have a clue how to translate. They are international terms, so I will give them as such, and I'll add my explanations:
- etat de provisorat (which means literally "provisional state/ mindset", the preference for what is provisional - not making any long-term commitment)
- inadaptabilite (literally, inadaptability, the predilection to be a social misfit)
- la difficulte d'etablir de relations sociales stables (which is, of course, the difficulty to establish stable social relationships)
Do you have any idea about how to translate - in sociological language - any of these?
Thanks a lot!
