Preferred term

decentered theory  

Definition

  • To “decenter” is to analyze knowledge and practices as fragmented and complex products of individual activity. Decentered theory rejects the notion that there is a single, natural, or incontestable reading of a text, institution, or series of events. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Decentered Theory]
