当代绘本研究概述——从叙事艺术到视觉素养

A Review of Contemporary Picturebook Research:From Narrative Art to Visual Literacy

以绘为主、文为辅,突显儿童主体性的绘本已经成为绘本创作及研究的共识。随着绘本创作的日趋成熟与多元化,绘本研究也与教学法、哲学理念、后现代主义等当代文艺潮流和理论批评话语高度综合,发展出图文协调审美的新格局。例如安东尼·布朗的《朱家故事》就融合了拟人化的动物人格、超现实主义风格、戏仿、互文性创作等手法于一体,不论是从叙事模式、视觉素养还是美学理解层面,都对儿童读者有一定的认知、心理建设和美育意义。

It has been widely acknowledged that a great emphasis should be placed on the subjectivity of children in contemporary pic-turebooks along with the priority of pictures.With the development and diversity of creative practices in picturebooks,the research of picturebooks highly integrates the contemporary literary trends and theoretical critical discourses involving pedagogy,philosophical con-cepts and postmodernism for new aesthetical synergy of verbal and visual texts.For example,Anthony Browne combines animal person-ality,surrealism,parody and intertextuality in his Piggy Book,which exemplifies new cognitive,psychological,aesthetical comprehen-sion of picturebooks in terms of narrative patterns,visual literacy and educational significance.
