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...
评分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《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...
评分不要用孤立而是要用联系的、发展的眼光看待问题;不要囿于已有的规则和习惯而是要利用好奇心不断探索新的道路,丰富新的体验。 这样简单的道理用一本书来描述觉得没有必要,而且很多图和字之间关联性太差,非常像本科生的论文(虽然实际上是博士论文),借鉴引用也绝非越多越好...
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...

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.
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。
评分印象里是synopsis of major theories in the art world. 怀疑漫画的形式是否见效,因为无论作为论文还是漫画都不吸引
评分漫画是多有趣的载体啊
