具体描述
The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the two are inextricably linked, equal partners in meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely as comics, Unflattening is an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies conventional forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge.
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.
In its graphic innovations and restless shape-shifting, Unflattening is meant to counteract the type of narrow, rigid thinking that Sousanis calls “flatness.” Just as the two-dimensional inhabitants of Edwin A. Abbott’s novella Flatland could not fathom the concept of “upwards,” Sousanis says, we are often unable to see past the boundaries of our current frame of mind. Fusing words and images to produce new forms of knowledge, Unflattening teaches us how to access modes of understanding beyond what we normally apprehend.

读后感
从内容讲这是一本“平面化”的漫画，观点发散且延伸了很多，基本围绕“我们的思维很容易陷入单一视角”这一思想，引用各种大家来证明这简单的道理，犹如把所有与之相关的哲学观点捣成浆糊，又在平底锅上均匀地煎开。这种不够深刻、没有自我见解的科普书，不正是证明了本书的中...
评分《非平面》与其说是一部学术著作或是一篇学术论文，不如说是一篇文献综述，外加一小撮的童年闪回。抛弃传统漫画宫格式的分镜叙事，大杂烩式的一锅炖，各种领域的基本概念齐飞，最终的落脚点却踩进了心灵鸡汤，有点解放宣言的意思。但值得肯定的是作者的画工了得，图文并茂的形...
评分书的观点用人话来说就是：历史文化为我们提供了某些捷径，但这种捷径反过来又禁锢着我们，唯一能打破这种禁锢的方式就是“想象力”。用漫画的方式来搞学术，可以说超级惊艳了。（跑题了。。。） 书中有一章是关于漫画的表述。作者认为，漫画这种表达形式跳脱出了语言这的种单向...

maybe inspiring
评分A good one in conjunction with Scott McCloud. But I got annoyed as I read, just wanted to get through the words without thinking about the images.
评分号称人人都能看懂的博士论文其实并不好懂，前面福柯，中间是技术与文明，后面变成情境主义，对图像与文本的启发确实是有的，称为最学术的漫画书不足为过了，虽然论点和结构都很奇怪...（参考书目貌似比论文本身更有意义
评分文字解说教条啰嗦，充斥着对块茎、视差之见、语言决定论等等概念的照本宣科；非常失望但不太忍心打低分
评分有一个论点很认同：媒介对思维形状产生影响。图像小说则能兼有文字的序列性和图像的同时性。但我并不觉得这本书自己在两者上有多么出色。里面的画乍看之下很丰富，却常常只是文字的辅助，不是那种自身令人凝视许久的、非图像不可的图像。叙事方式和图像风格也非常cliche。还有一些比较琐碎的图案似乎只是为了充斥满页面。（像无法忍受安静的美国人会做的事）而文字的话，让人怀疑是否达到博士论文标准。可悲的是图像的交织让人无法像论文一样严肃对待里面的观点。有时候特别天真和粗线条，说了等于没说让我怀疑这是不是一本鸡汤书。比如用想象力来填补人和人之间的沟壑…我不如去多读读主体间性呢？用新的眼光和视角看待既有事物，不如去看看情境主义国际呢？我为什么要读你的二手资料？
