LEXICON 212-216

In this reading I was specifically drawn to the concept of “De-Centering” and “centering.” Centering is the concept of “placing certain persons, places, times, issues and perceptions at the center of attention.” This is important because this way the author can highlight one concept and address its importance. On the other hand, “De-centering” a text allows an author to “dislocate what was assumed to be at the center of attention and draw attention to something inside or outside the text which they feel throws a revealing light across It.”
