Vocabulary
produces rather than diffuses
As I know after "rather than" we should use "diffuse" instead of "diffuses". Why the writer has used "diffuses" here? And does "diffuse" here mean to "decrease" and "stop"?
Context:
Instead of such possibilities of inherent cohesion there is now an ‘averted gaze’ whose figurative trajectory leads us to surveillance technologies. Arguably, bringing about a displacement of the gaze in this way produces rather than diffuses a climate of fear and mistrust of strangers.
