Abstract
The story " Archifia " is by Amal Nasser, a young contemporary Lebanese writer and storyteller. This story is exciting and full of events that mix fantasy and reality and helps the child to get used to deep analysis of situations and events away from superficiality and to practice thinking logically in order to reach the desired result. Decentralization is one of the most widely used methods used by children's literature writers to establish a creative relationship with their audience. The purpose of this qualitative research is to reveal the deep structures of decentralization in the story "Archivea" by Amal Nasser and how these techniques are used as a necessary and creative narrative element, and the strengths of using decentralization techniques in this story. It also explores the development of the relationship between the child audience and the author using the content analysis method. in our research we have used the interpretive-abstract approach to answer the questions. The findings of this research show that the effect of decentralization of tactics on the audience is sometimes different and sometimes expanding. Some of these tricks defocus the audience with some kind of movement in the narrative process. Others create expectations for the reader in the process of reading the story, and the reader waits for his prediction to come true, and these tricks surprise the audience with their presence. This research also showed that Amal Nasser uses interconnected decentralizing techniques and advances the narrative flow of the story in an adventurous, intertwined, and exciting way, and successively connects different techniques at one point. Therefore, the audience's mental focus always fluctuates between centralization and decentralization. This research has concluded that the author creates a state of complex ambiguity by using various techniques such as metamorphosis, narrator intervention, and repetition of questions. This ambiguity not only does not confuse the audience, but also arouses their curiosity. It encourages him to actively engage with the text, and by breaking the audience's expectations of a traditional, focused linear narrative, the reader is transformed from a passive recipient into an active participant. Just as their use to change the narrator's point of view and highlight simultaneous events behind the scenes allows for the presentation of reality from different angles and enriches the reading experience, it reinforces the concepts of the text and gives greater clarity and value to the meanings of the text.
