A child's dreaming: Looking at illustrated Indigenous stories for children

The traditional teaching stories of Australia's ancient Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures can find a new telling in today's literature for children. Codifiers of wisdom, laden with metaphor, these narratives have already inspired wonder in the young for thousands of generations. Today such stories are represented by well over one hundred titles in children's illustrated books. Some demonstrate literary and ethical qualities showing sensitivity and respect for originating cultures. Others do not

The imaging of Samoa in illustrated magazines and serial encyclopedias in the early 20th-century

Drawing on English language sources and material relating to the colonial administrations of Western Samoa (now Samoa) and American Samoa, this examination of photographically illustrated serial encyclopaedias and magazines proposes an alternative historical analysis of the colonial imaging of Samoa, the most extensively covered field in Oceanic photographic studies. Though photographs published between 1890s and World War II were often 'recycled', without acknowledging the fact that they were taken much earlier, and despite claims in the text of illustrated publications of an unchanged, enduring, archaic tradition in Samoa, the amazing variety of photographic content often offered contradictory evidence, depicting a modern, adaptive and progressive Samoa. Contrary to orthodox historical analysis, the images of Samoa in illustrated magazines and encyclopaedias were not limited to a small repetitive gallery of partially clothed women and costumed chiefs; and the ways in which readers understood Samoa from photographs and text raises questions still to be explored.

Getúlio Damado e Roger Mello: conexões entre o campo da arte e o universo lúdico infantil

A ideia central da pesquisa foi promover uma aproximação das narrativas visuais de Getúlio Damado e Roger Mello e a partir daí evidenciar os processos cognitivos e as estratégias que envolveram a estruturação de suas identidades sociais e linguagens artísticas contemporâneas, bem como destacar o ludismo e o acesso ao universo da infância e a cultura popular que ambos ressignificam em suas obras. Além disso, buscou-se comentar e avaliar momentos específicos de desprestígio e repúdio versus consagração ocorridos com os artistas. Para tal, essas produções foram contextualizadas como produções culturais em constante processo de mutação, do qual participam tanto eventos históricos como de inovação tecnológica, em contínua construção. Essas linguagens estão submetidas a uma grande velocidade e a superposição de influências. Outro ponto destacado nas analises foi o caráter de subjetividade dessas produções, identificadas como práticas estéticas promotoras de transformação política; de mobilização; ou também por sua capacidade de operar com o uso simbólico dos brinquedos e livros infantojuvenis recuperando-lhes o uso original. Os devaneios, o ludismo infantil e a cultura popular presentes nos objetos feitos de sucata e livros ilustrados foram confrontados com práticas consoantes, ou de discursos abrangentes, correntes no mundo da arte ou outras vezes aproximados de enfoques locais. Além da possibilidade de convergência entre as produções foram destacadas também muitas diferenças, e, sobretudo evidenciadas as potencialidades que podem advir da cultura popular como campo exploratório de pesquisa, bem como de sua ressignificação

From hieroglyphics to Isotype: a visual autobiography (Otto Neurath)

Otto Neurath (1882–1945) wrote From hieroglyphics to Isotype during the last two years of his life and this is the first publication of the text in full, carefully edited from the original manuscripts. He called it a 'visual autobiography', in which he documents the importance of visual material to him from his earliest years to his professional activity with the picture language of Isotype. Neurath draws clear links between the stimulus he received as a boy from illustrated books, toys and exhibitions to the considered work in visual education that occupied him for the last two decades of his life. This engaging and informal account gives a rich picture of Central European culture around the turn of the twentieth century, seen through the eyes of Neurath's insatiable intelligence, as well as a detailed exposition of the technique of Isotype, a milestone of modern graphic design. This edition includes the numerous illustrations intended by Neurath to accompany his text, and is completed by an extensive appendix showing examples from the rich variety of graphic material that he collected.
