resituating
Placing somewhere new
Resituating is placing something in a new situation or context.
Physical objects can be resituated: We're resituating the couch to face the window.
More often the word applies to abstract repositioning—resituating a debate within a different framework, or resituating a historical figure in contemporary terms.
The word carries a slightly academic flavor.
