Unflattening
By: Sousanis, Nick.
Material type:
BookPublisher: Cambridge Harvard University Press 2015Description: x; 198p. 10x7.5 pb.ISBN: 9780674744431.Subject(s): Visual perception-Comic books, strips, etc | Communication-Methodology-Comic books, strips, etc | Knowledge, Theory of-Comic books, strips, etc | Imagery (Psychology)-Comic books, strips, etc | Graphic novelsDDC classification: 153.7 Summary: Unflattening is an insurrection against the fixed viewpoint. Weaving together diverse ways of seeing drawn from science, philosophy, art, literature, and mythology, it uses the collage-like capacity of comics to show that perception is always an active process of incorporating and reevaluating different vantage points. While its vibrant, constantly morphing images occasionally serve as illustrations of text, they more often connect in nonlinear fashion to other visual references throughout the book. They become allusions, allegories, and motifs, pitting realism against abstraction and making us aware that more meets the eye than is presented on the page.
