DOI: 10.1016/j.apergo.2016.11.001
Abstract: Recent research on the legibility of digital displays has demonstrated a "positive polarity advantage", in which black-on-white text configurations are more legible than their negative polarity, white-on-black counterparts. Existing research in this area suggests that… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Science and technology studies"
DOI: 10.23987/sts.58040
Abstract: In response to perceived valuation problems giving rise to global environmental crisis, ‘nature’ is being qualified, quantified and materialised as the new external(ised) ‘Nature-whole’ of ‘natural capital’. This paper problematises the increasing legibility, through numbering… read more here.
