Some good ideas there, Amanda. By "aspérités" he means things you can latch onto - references - and I'd say "stance" rather than "positioning", but I think "associations" for "amalgames" is just right. You also quite rightly ironed out the grammar mistake in the French - it's "que", not "dont", of course. Thanks for your useful input.
