Poetry & Literature / Workshop
Spanish term or phrase: se articula
How can I say "se articula" in this context below? Could it be "is based on? But then "a partir de....." I don't know the correct way of saying this in English

Este taller se articula a partir de unas jornadas de carácter teórico-práctico en convivencia y toman como espacio un refugio de montaña para trabajar a partir de la obra de XXX: el plano secuencia en su obra, la manera de filmar o la pintura en movimiento, realizando una investigación analítica con los alumnos.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You're welcome. I think your "based on" is fine too, it all amounts to the same thing.

agree  Charles Davis: "Structured" is quite often good for articulado (though there also are cases where "articulated" is fine), and this is a case in point, I think. "Organised" would be good here too.

agree  Robert Carter: Although this is a perfectly acceptable wording in the context, I don't think "se articula a partir de" really means anything beyond "consists of" or "comprises" here.

Explanation:
You may not immediately like the literal translation, but might I find it grows on you... :)

NB: I used to dislike it, but grew to accept it. Something I struggle to do with the literal translation of "vertebrar", which is often used in similar texts...

Asker: Thanks Neil for your time, as I said to Simon, I will wait and see how other translators react to your answer and you are dead right, I do not like the literal terminology at all, but that is the effect of the international use of English. :-0((
