The Report Versus the Transparency Models of Appreciation: The Case of Comics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 May 2024
Abstract
On the report model of appreciating fiction, one imagines learning about a fictional world through a report: reading or viewing someone’s account or listening to them tell their story. On the transparency model, one simply imagines the things that are fictional in the story, without imagining anything about how that information is acquired. It is argued that the transparency model is the default, in literature and cinema, but in comics, it is the report model that is the default.
