Publication Open Access Honing emergent literacy via food: edible reading(Croatian Association of Researchers in Children's Literature (HIDK / CARCL), 2019) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569This study explores the honing of children's emerging literacy skills through the use of food that is inspired by children's books. Besides digital and printed books, edible texts have the potential to aid language acquisition and literary appreciation. When edible materials and children's books are synthesised into a new form to facilitate edible readings, the combination may inspire more families to engage in everyday literacy activities with their children. Using historical examples of edible reading that support emergent literacy, this work investigates how children have fed on edible materialities that appeal to their senses on multiple levels. As well as traditional methods, this study looks at innovative methods of food printing and production such as 2D and 3D printing technologies and how these may be integrated into edible texts through prototypes presented by the author. / Istražuje se način brušenja, tj. uvježbavanja vještine dječje rane pismenosti uz pomoć namirnica inspiriranih dječjim knjigama. Osim digitalnih i tiskanih knjiga, i jestivi tekstovi imaju potencijal pomoći usvajanju jezika i upoznavanju književnosti. Kad se jestivi materijali i dječje knjige sintetiziraju u novi oblik kako bi se olakšalo jestivo čitanje, ta kombinacija može potaknuti veći broj obitelji na zajedničko sudjelovanje sa svojom djecom u svakodnevnim aktivnostima usmjerenima na razvoj pismenosti. U osloncu na povijesne primjere jestivoga čitanja koji podupiru ranu pismenost, istražuje se kako su se djeca hranila jestivim tekstovima koji su poticali njihove osjete na višestrukim razinama. Razmatraju se ne samo tradicionalne metode, nego i inovativne metode tiskanja na hrani i nove tehnologije kao što su dvodimenzionalni i trodimenzionalni tisak te se razmatra kako bi se one mogle uključiti u proizvodnju jestivih tekstova i to uz pomoć prototipa jestivih namirnica koje je osmislila i ovdje prikazala autorica rada.
Publication Metadata only Materiality in picturebooks(Taylor and Francis, 2017) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569This chapter examines physical, sensory, and metaphoric qualities of materials and structures in picturebooks. Material interactions are increasingly sought after in printed as well as digital picturebooks due to multimodal literacies that are expanding via technological innovations. Materiality in picturebooks is at its height when form-related aspects are intertwined into narratives to further the meaning, a strategy that at times extends to inviting the reader to actually contribute to the narrative. Picturebooks with a design that appeals to the senses create sensory stimuli via the integration of taste, touch, smell, and sound into their design, often supported by the utilization of appropriate materials. The materiality of picturebooks is closely tied to innovations in printing and printable surfaces. Inventive uses of materiality confront the child, with novel problems presented to them about handling the form that need to be solved in order to move on with the narrative.Publication Open Access Materiality in picturebooks: an introduction(Croatian Association of Researchers in Children's Literature (HIDK / CARCL), 2019) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569Publication Metadata only More words about pictures: Current research on picture books and visual/verbal texts for young people(International Board on Books for Young People, 2018) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569Publication Metadata only Multimodal children’s books in Turkey: illustrated books and picture books(Taylor and Francis, 2017) Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569Picturebooks represent an underdeveloped potential in Turkey, given the depth and richness of the country’s literary and visual heritage. The growth of children’s books in Turkey with almost 14 percent market share among other publications faces numerous challenges, some of which are faced by children’s literature overall. Institutions in Turkey have historically played a role in the development of children’s literature, including the picturebooks. Ibrahim Mütefferrika initiated the first printing house during the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century, printing a book in Turkish in 1729. The role of institutions in the rise of an emergent group of picturebook artists and academic specialists such as the Nazan Erkmen was critical, particularly the role of fine arts universities like the Mimar Sinan, Marmara and Gazi. The expansion in the children’s books market is visible especially at the International Istanbul Book Fair.Publication Metadata only The representation of the other in illustrated texts for children: Turks in Greek books and Greeks in Turkish books(International Board on Books for Young People, 2018) Yannicopoulou, Angela; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Alaca, Ilgım Veryeri; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 50569This paper overviews the presence of the Other in illustrated texts for children, specifically Turks in Greek books and Greeks in Turkish books, utilizing imagology as the main method of analysis. The samples selected for this paper range from late twentieth century to early twenty-first century picturebooks alongside illustrated books and graphic novels published in Turkey and Greece. We grouped the books we cover into two thematic categories: first, the books that deal with wars, which inevitably narrate historical facts where Greeks and Turks fought against each other; and second, the books that focus on issues that unite, such as a common cultural heritage and geography. Our findings indicate that there is a gradual move away from traditionally didactic and nationalistic narratives towards more progressive children's stories that build empathy and understanding between the two countries.
