Hidden, non-visible, and partly non-visual entities require specific modes of visualizing that go beyond infographics as the idea that informs most of today's understanding of visualization. This book proposes a critical, multidisciplinary approach to identifying these individual domains in the global stream of visualization practices and intentions, as an invitation to explore the all-encompassing term visualization?from a new methodological vantage point and to situate the phenomenon of visualization in terms that are more appropriate to the plurality of its manifestations.
