in something's turning of something else
Can anyone help me with the meaning of "turning of" in the following context? Does "in the latter’s decisive turning of the former" mean "specially in relational aesthetics's exploitation of situationism"?
Context:
Artistic practice as Bourriaud would advocate it, on the other hand, corresponds to a ‘relational world’: ‘it is always a relationship with the other, at the same time as it represents a relationship with the world’. In the final analysis Bourriaud is prepared to concede situationism’s influence on relational aesthetics, not least in the latter’s decisive turning of the former.

It possibly means that. Yes, it sounds like relational aesthetics (the latter) has somehow taken and used relational aesthetics (the former). But that is all I would care to guess as to its actual meaning (if any).
