ABSTRACT
As opposed to the “biocularity” or “closure” in comics, which regulates its excess and polyphony, this chapter studies the medium through its scattering, distribution, and coagulation of sensations that propagate a radical openness. Since this plurality of expression and distribution of sensations inherent in comics simultaneously disrupts and denies the possibility of an absolute, representational, or closed system of identity or knowledge, this chapter proposes an alternate definition of comics as multimodal, architectural, and transversal, capable of producing sensations, intensities, and becomings.
