Transparency Literal transparency is such as is seen in
glass. Clear-ness, being see-through
Phenomenal transparency, the illusion of transparency, is created with spatial or
pictorial layering, leaving something that is not really transparent, but ambiguous.
An in-between state.
Possessing no perceivable mediating factor, the appearance of neutrality. This is the type of transparency used to discuss the lack of obvious presence of an author or artist in
writing and art.
