Consumable Reading and Children's Literature

by Alaca Published by John Benjamins

Published 2022.

Consumable Reading and Children's Literature explores how multisensory experiences enhance early childhood literacy practices through material and sensory interactions. Embodied engagements that focus on the gustatory experience and the sense of taste is investigated by studying food-related narratives. Children's literature and different reading scenarios involving consumable objects, packages, tableware, and utensils are scrutinized. Surfaces, the underlying mechanisms that support children's literature, are considered in connection to emerging media and ground-breaking technologies. The interdisciplinary nature of this work draws on material and surface science, human-computer interaction, arts, and food studies. As innovation and everyday materials meet, the potential of hybrid narratives mimicking synaesthesia emerges with discussions on cross-modal learning. This monograph will inspire the interest of not only students, teachers, scholars of children's literature and child development but also researchers and practitioners across various artistic and scientific disciplines.
