background chorus

[Huda]

Please help me.
Would anyone please help me understand and translate "background chorus" in the following context. This text is excerpted from Digital Sociology which is edited by Kate Orton-Johnson and Nick Prior:

Rose leads a genre of theorising in which mediated discourse, not interpersonal relationships, powerfully shapes selves, and which, therefore, has no need to itemise a distinction between an inner circle of intimate ‘significant others’ and the ‘background chorus’.

Is it كورس خلفي? I can't understand its meaning either.

Thanks in advance.

Significant others are people who have a strong influence on a person and the background chorus are people who don't have a strong influence.

I think that this text might be very difficult to translate unless you have basic knowledge about sociological theory and concepts.
