French term or phrase: circonvenir
Dans mon cas, nos froides discussions cliniques ne procuraient pas les conditions d'une telle emprise fondée sur l'intimité des conversations, et Bourdieu me demandait les premiers temps de m'associer à d'autres chercheurs du CSE, manière de me circonvenir intellectuellement par une voie extérieure à nos dialogues et à laquelle je me refusais sans même y réfléchir.

tentar, engolosinar, seducir


Explanation:
Creo que esa es la idea, que resulta más clara en la forma reflexiva:"un modo de tentarme intelectualmente", o "de engolosinarme", o "de seducirme"

B. Fig. Entourer quelqu'un de toutes sortes de ruses et d'artifices, employer à son égard d'habiles procédés :

1. ... la femme a tendance constante à rabaisser l'homme, elle le circonvient, l'enlace, veut en faire son compagnon, son égal : c'est dans sa nature.
PROUDHON, La Pornocratie, 1865, p. 192.

P. ext. Se concilier quelqu'un (ou par personnification quelque chose) par des manœuvres habiles; le séduire, l'abuser. Circonvenu par les ruses du serpent, l'homme prévariqua contre l'ordre de Dieu (THIERRY, Récits des temps mérovingiens, t. 2, 1840, p. 320) :

2. ... il n'existe pas de moyen démontré de le séduire [le hasard] de l'amadouer, de le circonvenir.
A. ARNOUX, Double chance, 1958, p. 185.
