English term or phrase: Uso de highlight

I will highlight the first relation between symbolization and intersubjectivity out from his book "Experiences in groups" published in 1961, but written before this date.

THIS AUTHOR (OR HIS FRENCH-ENGLISH TRANSLATOR) REPEATEDLY USES "TO HIGHLIGHT" WHERE THE CONTEXT DOES NOT CALL FOR STRESS OR IMPORTANCE.
Any ideas as to what he may mean?

Thank you, Ruth! I guess the author means "hacer una sinopsis", i.e., an abstract.

enfocar la atención en algo

Explanation:
Hola María :-)
Se me ocurre que el autor tal vez esté usando la palabra "highlight" en el sentido de enfocar la atención en algo. Como diciendo: "Ahora me voy a concentrar en tal aspecto del tema"
Buena suerte y saludos post-navideños del Oso ¶;^)
