From Cinderella to comic con to colonialism and more, this
companion provides readers with a comprehensive and current guide
to the fantastic, uncanny, and wonderful worlds of the fairy tale
across media and cultures. It offers a clear, detailed, and
expansive overview of contemporary themes and issues throughout the
intersections of the fields of fairy-tale studies, media studies,
and cultural studies, addressing, among others, issues of
reception, audience cultures, ideology, remediation, and
adaptation. Examples and case studies are drawn from a wide range
of pertinent disciplines and settings, providing thorough,
accessible treatment of central topics and specific media from
around the globe.
This volume represents the current state of research on picture
books and other adjacent hybrid forms of visual/verbal texts such
as comics, graphic novels, and book apps, with a particular focus
on texts produced for and about young people. When Perry Nodelman's
Words about Pictures: the Narrative Art of Children's Picture Books
was published almost three decades ago, it was greeted as an
important contribution to studies in children's picture books and
illustration internationally; and based substantially on it,
Nodelman has recently been named the 2015 recipient of the
International Grimm Award for children's literature criticism. In
the years since Words About Pictures appeared, scholars have built
on Nodelman's groundbreaking text and have developed a range of
other approaches, both to picture books and to newer forms of
visual/verbal texts that have entered the marketplace and become
popular with young people. The essays in this book offer 'more
words' about established and emerging forms of picture books,
providing an overview of the current state of studies in
visual/verbal texts and gathering in one place the work being
produced at various locations and across disciplines. Essays
exploring areas such as semiological and structural aspects of
conventional picture books, graphic narratives and new media forms,
and the material and performative cultures of picture books
represent current work not only from literary studies but also
media studies, art history, ecology, Middle Eastern Studies,
library and information studies, and educational research. In
addition to work by international scholars including William
Moebius, Erica Hateley, Nathalie op de Beeck, and Nina Christensen
that carries on and challenges the conclusions of Words about
Pictures, the collection also includes a wide-ranging reflection by
Perry Nodelman on continuities and changes in the current
interdisciplinary field of study of visual/verbal texts for young
readers. Providing a look back over the history of picture books
and the development of picture book scholarship, More Words About
Pictures also offers an overview of our current understanding of
these intriguing texts.
