This book introduces how the negative space between or beside text can appear as another type of text. It is a study inspired by materialism but honed through aesthetics in perceiving transformation foremost. For that anomalous space around print keeps moving out of one state and into another. Repeatedly, it’s found below or beyond, withdrawn or removed, silenced or barred from performing alongside textualities like ink, paint, cinematic light, or color. Terms such as “page” or “typographical space” instead denote substrates and gaps incapable of reflecting a system of thought. Not having the prescribed qualities of a self-reflective material, this spatialized material body has been imagined as Other, an unconscious background, margin, void, or interstice. Nonetheless, this sensible white blotch may also join that surface of appearances better known as the textual surface.
