Liminality: between illustration and children´s literature. DOI: 10.37785/nw.v3n2.a14

Abstract

Based on the concept of liminality and the role played by the image in the development of children's thinking, this work analyzes the relationship that arises within a work when it has been constructed by literary language and that of illustration. Faced with the undeniable importance of the word throughout the growth of the girl and the boy, the impact of the image in the process of building its culture stands out. Hence the substance of the reading experience in which the word and the illustration are conjugated. The notion of "liminality" allows us to understand the particular way in which both artistic manifestations converge within the text of children's literature to generate a hybrid product that arises from that place of encounter, a result whose poetics is unique and arises from the articulation of that diversity.
