Spanish term or phrase: pone en juego las maquinarias del inconsceinte colectivo
Context:

Visión escatológica que * pone en juego las maquinarias del inconsciente colectivo * —inexistente como programa en los dos maestros de la pintura uruguaya citados—, una crítica a la enajenación social y a la burocracia existencial, a lo Kafka, sazonada con pizcas de humor y de sátira. Hablamos de la escatología en el sentido apocalíptico del término, en la atmósfera turbia de una profecía funesta, pero también en el otro, en el sentido de la revulsión intestina.

TIA!

neutral  Kirsten Larsen (X): "put into play", no. "Place at risk".:-) Ya veo - creo - que coge el sentido de "activar, poner en marcha" en este caso.

  -> Well, it looks like everybody, including me, "disagrees" with you!
agree  Charles Davis: "Bring into play" would be more idiomatic, IMO, but I think this is the meaning here; "put/place at risk" doesn't fit the context.

  -> Thanks, philgoddard.
agree  Jacob Z. (X): I prefer "puts" here, it sounds more active; e.g.: http://www.ibj.com/articles/53116-fishers-airport-compromise... . I like the "workings" from lugoben's answer also.
