Postmodern Picturebooks (eBook, PDF)

Play, Parody, and Self-Referentiality

Produktbeschreibung

Over the past 15 years, there has been a pronounced trend toward a particular type of picturebook that many would label "postmodern." Postmodern picturebooks have stretched our conventional notion of what constitutes a picturebook, as well as what it means to be an engaged reader of these texts. The international researchers and scholars included in this compelling collection of work critically examine and discuss postmodern picturebooks, and reflect upon their unique contributions to both the field of children's literature and to the development of new literacies for child, adolescent, and adult readers.

Rezensionen

"Listening to the children is essential work. Not just because it inches forward our understanding of literacy learning, but also because it keeps us grounded in the facts of real books and real readers. The world has not really turned upside down, though one small corner of it has, and that in a most decisive and curious fashion. The writers assembled here under the watchful eyes of Sipe and Pantaleo have, on the whole, mapped out this corner pretty thoroughly..." -- David Lewis, Children's Literature Association Quarterly, 2008

"This important book is a welcome addition to the body of scholarly writings that help us come to newer, deeper and ultimately better understandings of children's literature."--Junko Yokota, Bookbird (October 2009), Vol. 47, No. 4: 60-61
