Recycled Images as Layers of Meaning in Picture Books
Kress and van Leeuwen showed that the visual could be considered as a semiotic mode, and developed a systemic-functional model of visual meaning. Drawing on Painter’s, Martin’s and Unsworth’s adaptation of their model to picture books, and on Panofsky’ approach to iconology, this paper contends that...

Kress et van Leeuwen ont établi le fait que l’image peut être considérée comme un mode sémiotique et ont développé un modèle d’analyse du sens porté par l’image, basé sur une approche systémique fonctionnelle. S’appuyant sur l’adaptation de ce modèle aux albums pour enfants que proposent Painter, Martin et Unsworth et sur le concept d’iconologie développé par Panofsky, cet article se propose de montrer que les images recyclées dissimulent différents niveaux de sens et fonctionnent comme des palimpsestes. La première partie introduit différentes approches du sens dans l’image et le déplacement de la fonction de l’œuvre d’art, remarqué par Benjamin. Les parties suivantes analysent le type de contenu visuel développé par les images recyclées dans des albums cosignés par Neil Gaiman et Dave McKean et dans un album écrit et illustré par Shaun Tan. L’article suggère que les procédés identifiés par Panofsky dans son analyse du sens des œuvres d’art peuvent être associés à un modèle systémique fonctionnel du sens visuel pour mettre en évidence la fonction de l’image recyclée dans les albums contemporains |
