Choreography of Characters: Movement and Posture in Illustrated Texts for Children.
Happonen, Sirke
Reading: Literacy and Language, v35 n3 p99-105 Nov 2001
Discusses the concept of movement first in the broader sense and then seeks an alternative viewpoint on analyzing movement in illustrated children's literature. Emphasizes movement in relation to the characters, inspired by ideas from modern dance. Draws examples from the illustrations and texts of the Moomin books by Finish artist and author Tove Jansson.
