Var befinner sig den svenska bilderboksforskningen? En kartläggning av bilderboksforskningens etablering och expansion

Title: An Overview of Picturebook Research in Sweden. Establishment and Expansion Abstract: Picturebook research in the Nordic countries is in a vital and interesting phase, characterized by both established positions and expansion. The article discusses the development in the field, from the stage of initiation in the early 1980s to becoming an established and varied research area. A number of disciplines and lines can be traced in picturebook research today. While some researchers have focused on the history of the media, others have studied the complex relationship between the text and the images or tried to develop the theoretical framework of the medium. Another prominent approach is to investigate what happens in the reading experience and process and how picturebooks might develop children's literacy skills. Despite discipline or focus, picturebook research in Sweden has established itself as a special research field within children's literature research. While mainly discussing Swedish research, the article also attempts to demonstrate connections and differences with the research field in the other Nordic countries

Från dystopier till eco chic : Miljökritiska bilderböcker från 1970-talet och i dag

Med utgångspunkt i ett antal nordiska barnböcker, utgivna under 1970-talet respektive 2000-talet, diskuterar artikeln hur klimatfrågor behandlas i bilderböcker för barn såväl ideologiskt som uttrycksmässigt. Trots förändrad estetik och nya kunskaper om klimatfrågor i de senare ekokritiska böckerna, är synen på barn i dessa berättelser märkbart likartad och föreställningen om barn som symboler för framtiden är framträdande i hela materialet

Introductio

The animated still life. Ingrid Vang Nyman's use of self-contradictory spatial order in Pippi Longstocking

Ingrid Vang Nyman’s illustrations to Astrid Lindgren’s books about Pippi Longstocking seem to contradict customary perspective logic. In her interior images, Vang Nyman displays curiously assorted objects, animate and inanimate, in a range of textures, colours and shapes. The elements in her compositions are often presented at tipped angles, where everything is observed without overlapping perspectives. Why this constant defiance of gravity, the free distortion of proportions and multiplicity of details? Everything seems to be in motion, in a state of flux and turmoil, pointing to the adventurous potential of everyday places and objects. In this paper, I discuss Ingrid Vang Nyman’s use of pictorial effects and her way of playing with perspective and spatial order, and I will place this technique in the larger context of art history
