Jakle, John A. Morrison, Dawn Anne 2015-09-25T22:35:10Z 2015-09-25T22:35:10Z 10000-01-01 2003 2003 I evaluate how elevated perspective representations have been perceived over time, and find that they have been used in real and meaningful ways throughout Chicago's history. I argue that what makes the elevated perspective unique from other representational forms, at least as a strategy of seeing, is the combination of socially agreed upon visual conventions, of which I outline seven broadly defined categories commonly invoked by this form of representation, and the social construction of its technological means of production. That is, elevated perspective representations are imbued with communicative significance by their ability to not only invoke specific visual conventions, but also be symbolic of the very technologies that produce them.
