Abstract

Visually complex texts emerge as a response to complicated cosmological, social, or ontological phenomena in reality, and different pre-modern cultures came up with their own unique ways of re-presenting this reality in textual form. Today, with the help of digital media, it becomes possible to discuss visually complex texts from different cultures in a way that facilitates the exchange of research ideas between specialists working with different regions and languages.
