- Growing scholarly interest in picturebooks requires a sound theoretical basis. While various seminal approaches to picturebook theory exist, the fundamental relatedness of picturebooks to the cognitive development of children has not been focused so far. In this article, it is argued that a cognitive theory of picturebooks is needed. Picturebooks, prototypically consisting of picture-text relations, are systematically engaged with the child's maturing cognitive abilities. In fact, picturebooks foster these abilities through being used in situations of joint reading and attention. The relatedness of picturebooks to the child's cognitive development is sketched with respect to three types of picturebooks: early-concept books, picturebooks telling stories of lying, and picturebooks displaying maps.

Children’s Literature and the Avant-Garde
- 2015
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Children’s Literature and the Avant-Garde is the first study that investigates the intricate influence of the avant-garde movements on children’s literature in different countries from the beginning of the 20th century until the present. Examining a wide range of children’s books from Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA, the individual chapters explore the historical as well as the cultural and political aspects that determine the exceptional character of avant-garde children’s books. Drawing on studies in children’s literature research, art history, and cultural studies, this volume provides comprehensive insights into the close relationships between avant-garde children’s literature, images of childhood, and contemporary ideas of education. Addressing topics such as the impact of exhibitions, the significance of the Bauhaus, and the influence of poster art and graphic design, the book illustrates the broad range of issues associated with avant-garde children’s books. More than 60 full-color illustrations demonstrate the impressive variety of design in avant-garde picturebooks and children’s books.

- 2010
-
Ingår i: Beyond Pippi Longstocking : intermedial and international aspects of Astrid Lindgren's works. - 9780415883535 ; , s. 239-257
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In an intermedial reading of Astrid Lindgren’s oeuvre, Astrid Lindgren's World is not only analyzed as an ideal case of transmediality or remediation, but also as a modern form of a Total work of art. In doing so, the history of the genre ' total work of art' is discussed by broadening the common aesthetic point-of-view with angles from economy and advertising.

From baby books to picturebooks for adults : European picturebooks in the new millennium
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Word and Image. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 0266-6286 .- 1943-2178. ; 31:3, s. 249-264
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter gives an overview of trends in the European picturebook market since the beginning of the twenty-first century, with a forecast for similar developments in non-European countries. The contemporary picturebook market is spawning more and more syncretic book formats and genres, thus addressing audiences of all ages and leading to the creation of global illustrations and stories. The fusion of different genres and topics is responsible for the emergence of new hybrid formats that demand a reconsideration of traditional genre categories and the familiar concept of the target group. This chapter focuses on six significant tendencies that can be traced in picturebooks since the beginning of the new millennium: materiality and interaction, deployment of postmodern devices, development of new hybrid formats, multilingual picturebooks, picturebooks for adults, and, finally, digital picturebooks.
