Morphology

subjectivization = subjective (transparent) = subject + ive + ize + ation

Clearly formed by adding a noun-forming suffix to 'subjective', indicating the process of making or interpreting something as subjective.

Etymology

Subjectivization comes from subjective ('personal') plus the parts -ize ('make') and -ation ('process'). So subjectivization means making something seen from a person's own 'point of view', or treating it in a personal rather than purely neutral way.
