Title

Click.Clack.Bing. The Typewriter and its Typeface in Contemporary Picture Books: Perspectives in the Context of Production and Reception

Abstract

Although the analog technology of the typewriter is outdated and is hardly part of children's everyday lives today (Vangool, 2015), surprisingly, numerous contemporary picture books integrate the typewriter and/or its typeface. Mediated via (picture book) artistic practices and aesthetically transformed, they find their way into the creative process and can be interpreted as a (re-)presentation (Brandstätter, 2013) in the scope of understanding meaning (Dehn, 2019). Due to their relevance in the context of production and reception, the study focuses on the interrelationships between the typewriter and its writing as well as the contemporary picture book and the associated picture book artistic creative process. Using picture book conversations (Beerkens et al., 2012) and the construction of analytical narratives ( Kroon & Sturm, 2002), the study examines how the typewriter and its writing find their way into three contemporary picture books. Based on a collection of picture books, a model of picture book analysis is developed in order to determine aesthetic phenomena (Kirchner et al., 2006) around the typewriter and its writing in the sense of a kaleidoscopic view and to unfold these as a transcript of the text (Peters, 2011) in typewriter (writing) miniatures (Lehnert & Weiland, 2020). In the consolidation of the results, a fluid interplay emerges with regard to the interrelationships, which reveals the typewriter and its writing as actively involved and contours it as an aesthetic projection surface. Located between reality and fiction, experiences and meanings as well as perceptions and imaginations interpenetrate. They overcome the historicity of the typewriter and its typeface by transferring them into a new legibility and allowing them to appear as instances of a contemporary picture book culture that are open to meaning. The study makes a contribution to thinking together aesthetic negotiations in the context of production and reception and to strengthening the focus on (textual) materiality with regard to references that are located outside the contemporary picture book. In addition, with its differentiated conception of the methodological approach, it expands established approaches to the (overall) artwork of the picture book (Oittinen et al., 2018).
