Spatialities of Emotion : Place and Non-place in Children’s Picture Books
2018
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Affect, Emotion, and Children's Literature : Representation and Socialisation in Texts for Children and Young Adults 2018; (p. 129-145)'One of the key functions of literature and film is to represent and evoke emotion. Unlike conventional narrative approaches common to novels and films that rely on narrative action and dialogue to evoke emotion, picture books offer a different affect through minimal dialogue or description, aesthetics, and stylistic inventiveness. The concept of non-place offers an additional means for exploring how places and spaces in picture books embody some of the characteristics that Augé describes. Writers for young people often promote emotional engagement with characters and place by orienting their readers in both real and imaginary spaces, creating geographies of emotion.'
