In Hitler's case, he was trying to build himself up and make himself into an icon-of-sorts for his movement. In the case of McCloud, he wants to disappear into the message. This then reflects the initial idea of icons acting as a means to amplify through simplification.Annie Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704495764537925965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354814281006350164.post-8018201881444438192011-10-19T18:11:43.486-04:002011-10-19T18:11:43.486-04:00Jerehar--

I think McCloud used icons and the contrast between simple and detailed to bring focus to his ideas, whereas Hitler brought focus to his icons and to himself and Aryans. <br /> I cite the frames where McCloud says something like, "would you pay attention to me if I looked like this.." and fills the picture with a more detailed image of himself (p. 36). My answer is, no, for the moment, I wouldn't have.<br /> I also think Hitler's writing, is, like you said, a good example of heteroglossia. There are the two different voices-- the words on the page, and there is the political message/statement they carry.Kimberly Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442475845069267555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354814281006350164.post-87390417816606626022011-10-17T10:01:00.138-04:002011-10-17T10:01:00.138-04:00I wouldn't say McCloud used icons to make the ...I wouldn't say McCloud used icons to make the author less important; rather, I'd say that his use of icons helped the reader to better understand the author's message. It allowed the reader to place themselves in the text, giving them a relationship between the text and themselves.Kaitlyn's Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297320666748299210noreply@blogger.com
