    Book SynopsisChildren are the future architects, clients and users of our buildings. The kinds of architectural worlds they are exposed to in picturebooks during their formative years may be assumed to influence how they regard such architecture as adults. Contemporary urban environments the world over represent the various stages of modernism in architecture. This book reads that history through picturebooks and considers the kinds of national identities and histories they construct.Twelve specialist essays from international scholars address questions such as: Is modern architecture used to construct specific narratives of childhood? Is it taken to support negative' narratives of alienation on the one hand and positive' narratives of happiness on the other? Do images of modern architecture support ideas of community'? Reinforce family values'? If so, what kinds of architecture, community and family? How is modern architecture placed vis-à-vis the promotion of diversity (ethnic, rTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Modernity 1.Building for the future - Children as future citizens in Swedish Picturebooks of the 1930s 2.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd A Multimodal Approach to Challenging Gender

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis collection offers a thorough treatment of the ways in which the verbal and visual semiotic modes interrelate toward promoting gender equality and social inclusion in children's picture books.Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical work in multimodality, including multimodal cognitive linguistics, multimodal discourse analysis, and visual social semiotics, the book expands on descriptive-oriented studies to offer a more linguistically driven perspective on children's picture books. The volume explores the choice afforded to and the lexico-semantic and discursive strategies employed by writers and illustrators in conveying representational, interpersonal, and textual meanings in the verbal and non-verbal components in these narratives in order to challenge gender stereotypes and promote the social inclusion of same-sex parent families.This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in multimodality, discourse analysis, social semiotics, and children's Table of ContentsList of TablesList of FiguresList of ContributorsAcknowledgementsChapter 1.
