Hi Jinan, Keith, Martin, Anthi,
There is not much doubt about that writing is a form of drawing. Tim Ingold in “Lines: a Brief History” stressed this. The linearity underlying writing corresponds to a discipline inherent to drawing. Both writing and “drawings” share a visual dominance in human cultures. You might say that some cultures are not as visually dominated as others, but the fact is that when visual apparatus invade a human culture, they usually win over other forms.
It is interesting that you bring books into the discussion. A dissertation is, after all, a book and consequently should obey to formal requirements of that “format”. Our books, the books of our time, are heirs of the printed book in which letters and sentences were no longer drawn but mechanically printed. However, books appear earlier and were naturally profusely mixing words and images.
Best whishes,
Eduardo

Drawing in many recent definitions in no longer received as an object. Images of the action is another story of images and I was wondering if unflatness includes that kind of images. It could be a nice perspective.
