Multiperspectivity

Multiperspectivity (sometimes polyperspectivity) is a characteristic of narration or representation, where more than one perspective is represented to the audience.[1]

Most frequently the term is applied to fiction which employs multiple narrators, often in opposition to each-other or to illuminate different elements of a plot,[1] creating what is sometimes called a multiple narrative,[2][3] or multi-narrative.[4]


However, a similar concept is applied to historical process, in which multiple different perspectives are used to evaluate events.[5] Educators have extended the concept and term to apply to techniques used to teach multiple disciplines, including social sciences, like economics and civics,[6] and physical education.[7]
