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
在形式上对传统学术著作的超越就足够打高分了。 但恕我直言，作者对于媒介理解的深度还很“浅薄”。对于一本旨在强调”通过媒介的转换能够实现思维的转换“（这是媒介环境学三大基本理论命题之一）的著作而言，居然对传播学领域中的媒介环境学没有深入了解，只能说功课太没做到...
评分个人认为书名叫“破立”更好。本书目的在于教人如何实现“主动的内在的破立”。 第一章：平面（平面中的人） “没有破立意识与破立能力的人是什么样的？” 第二章：平面国（正方形：线、球、球之外） “何为破立？” 细节：破立包括表现为“某次不寻常经历”的被动破立与“从'...
评分我们所生活的世界是我们已经习得的世界。过往对世界的经验在我的周遭构筑起一道边界，既保护了我，也限制了我。而这边界某种意义上可以类比成书中提到的“平面”（虽然在我的幻想中它更像一种球面）。它们所指向的东西，可以解读成是“更广阔世界的截面”（当然还有其它解读方...
评分非平面是一本奇怪的书，因为这本书其实就是非平面的。 如果你把它当作论文来看，漫画会拉低刻板印象中论文的层次，毕竟学术的严谨性，知识呈现的广袤无际，求真求实求创新才是大多数人们认为论文应该追逐的，显然漫画之于论文是格格不入的体现。如果你把它当作一本漫画来看，那...

Such is the case with our flatlanders, trapped within the borders of their vision. Unable to imagine otherwise.
评分对任何标榜以漫画作为媒介的作品来说，“无趣”都是一种死罪；极其啰嗦的鸡汤论文，完全没有必要做成图像的形式，最不可接受的是在图像方面也毫无想象力。
评分比肩Scott McCloud的Understanding Comics
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.
评分购于kiss library，图画得很一般
