Multiperspectivity

Multiperspectivity (sometimes polyperspectivity) is a characteristic of <a href="/facts/Narration/W4A9n42a">narration</a> or <a href="/facts/Representation_(arts)/LEGyxyzq">representation</a>, where more than one perspective is represented to the audience. 
Most frequently the term is applied to <a href="/facts/Fiction/p1AY3Xp4">fiction</a> which employs multiple narrators, often in opposition to each-other or to illuminate different elements of a plot, creating what is sometimes called a multiple narrative, or multi-narrative. 
However, a similar concept is applied to <a href="/facts/Historical_method/TRvVAAns">historical process</a>, in which multiple different perspectives are used to evaluate events. Educators have extended the concept and term to apply to techniques used to teach multiple disciplines, including <a href="/facts/Social_science/hAbm1xtD">social sciences</a>, like <a href="/facts/Economics/HYctA2Dn">economics</a> and <a href="/facts/Civics/4A6tEllo">civics</a>, and <a href="/facts/Physical_education/brxMYG1X">physical education</a>.
