Abstract

While the long history of the study of lists and Listenwissenschaft resulted numerous findings and theories of its cognitive origins, cultural significance, functionality and use, there are surprisingly only a few accounts about the diverse graphic methods of presenting lists. In my essay I examine the visual representation of lists in a historical perspective. My commentary is based on previous information graphics taxonomies and I propose a simple framework to classification of the visual forms of lists.
