In the world of images it is interesting to examine the relationship existing between the visual dimension of a thought and its material transposition. The efficacy with which images are used in various fields of knowledge is an incentive to investigate the theoretical-practical and operational processes for the construction of visual models as also the organising mechanisms and the methods for the visual communication of images and a means of understanding their make-up and causal valence. Therefore, here we wish to set out to identify and outline an operational set of indications useful for such a constructive approach and as a first step towards this objective we shall address the image's figurative aspect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
