Abstract

In the 1920s, with the end of the revolution, the Soviet government began investing resources and energy into creating a new type of book for the first generation of young Soviet readers. In a sense, these early books for children were the ABCs of Soviet modernity; creatively illustrated and intricately designed, they were manuals and primers that helped the young reader enter the field of politics through literature. Children's books provided the basic vocabulary and grammar for understanding new, post-revolutionary realities, but they also taught young readers how to perceive modern events and communist practices. Relying on a process of dual-media rendering, illustrated books presented propaganda as a simple, repeatable narrative or verse, while also casting it in easily recognizable graphic images. A vehicle of ideology, object of affection, and product of labour all in one, the illustrated book for the young Soviet reader emerged as an important cultural phenomenon. Communist in its content, it was often avant-gardist in its form. Spotlighting three thematic threads - communist goals, pedagogy, and propaganda - The Pedagogy of Images traces the formation of a mass-modern readership through the creation of the communist-inflected visual and narrative conventions that these early readers were meant to appropriate.

Abstract

Un libro, amava dire Giorgio Manganelli, non è altro che il supporto della sua copertina. Dev'essere partito da una credenza simile, Marco Belpoliti, nell'ideare e realizzare la rubrica all'interno della "talpa libri - della quale qui raccoglie cento numeri, pubblicati fra il 1998 e il 2003. Pezzi, non a caso sempre corredati da un'illustrazione a colori, che per la prima volta si proponevano di offrire, delle novità librarie di giornata, un'interpretazione in chiave "visiva": a partire, appunto, dall'immagine e dalla grafica di copertina. Questo libro si può leggere in almeno due modi: da un lato come prontuario dell'immaginario grafico dell'editoria italiana in un tempo di trasformazione come il nostro; e in quanto tale, come osserva il grande grafico Italo Lupi nella prefazione, è un formidabile strumento di storia e sociologia live della nostra cultura del libro. Dall'altro, spiega bene Mario Barenghi nella postfazione, si pone a modello di una critica dell'immaginario che sia non solo e soprattutto non tradizionalmente "letteraria" bensì attenta alle pieghe, ai margini e agli sconfinamenti tra retoriche della parola e dell'immagine.

Abstract

Relying on critical approaches such as book history, periodical studies, material and visual culture, cultural studies, and postmodern theory, the book explores both modernist authors and the dynamics of modernism as they appeared in popular reprint magazines of the teens, pulp magazines between the wars, and paperbacks of the 1940s and 50s. Central to Earle's innovative approach is his consideration of the physical aspects of the books and magazines—covers, dust wrappers, illustrations, cost—which become texts in their own right.
