Portuguese term or phrase: Uso Consagrado
Nós utilizamos muito essa expressão "termo consagrado" em nossas discussões e debates a respeito de termos a serem usados em traduções. Como usaria a expressão "uso consagrado" em inglês?

A frase completa é: "A narrativa Schreberiana é um material de análise numa pesquisa social qualitativa de autobiografia que procura criticar alguns usos consagrados da pulsão, tais como a idéia da fronteira entre o somático e o psíquico"

consecrated uses


Explanation:
"Termos consagrados" = consecrated terms or expressions.
Não há por que mudar o adjetivo "consecrated" quando muda o substantivo.

No link abaixo:
Consecrate: 1. To declare or set apart as sacred - ou seja, sagrado, que literalmente não é o caso com termos, como não é o caso com usos. Queremos dizer que foram aprovados ao longo do tempo, por costume de uso.

Mas definição 4 traz outros ajetivos que poderiam ser usados com alternativas:
4. To make venerable; hallow: a tradition consecrated by time.

Ex. "hallowed uses"

received ideas


Explanation:
The text seems to concern concepts rather than anything that could described as "usages". The translation I would suggest is: "(...) which seeks to critique some received ideas regarding the nature of drive, such as the idea of the separation between body and mind (...)"
