Unflattening
Unflattening | Nick Sousanis
5 posts | 4 read | 8 to read
The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. But what if the two are inextricably linked in meaning-making? In this experiment in visual thinking, drawn in comics, Nick Sousanis defies conventional discourse to offer readers a stunning work of graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct knowledge.

This one is hard to explain, but it is a
Graphic Novel of sorts that really pushes the boundaries of sequential art.

What if words and pictures were inextricably linked? What if, like the inhabitants of Flatland, who have no concept of upwards, there is more to know from words and pictures?

Soubhiville What an interesting cover. I‘m intrigued... 5y

A required read for my #graphicnovels in libraries class, I wasn't sure what to make of this work at first. I soon fell into the swing of it and found it to be an outstanding philosophical work on the nature of how we perceive and construct knowledge. Defying our preference for words over images, he marries scholarly text to fantastic artwork to create a visual experiment. A brilliant #nonfiction work, check it out & expand your own perceptions.

#pagesv (So glad Sousanis' book was referred to in Margaret Mackey's talk. It's a brilliant, philosophical graphic novel.)

Being relatively new to all this, it's my first #tbrtuesday I've gone full comic/graphic novel mode this summer and am having a grand time! Most of these are due back to the library next week, so I better get to it! 😃

Mayread Unflattening is more like a philosophical treatise. I parceled it out over a couple of weeks. 8y
