A debate proclaiming the need, by scholars, researchers and teachers in the field of literature and language, to open to new knowledge and multimodal world of literary products, such as picture books, comics, graphic novels, in order to expand the horizons of literary experience globally.

Abstract Il saggio è parte di un volume di diffusione e di apporto internazionale, scaturito dalla British IBBY/NCRCL Conference tenuta alla Roehampton University, London, nel Novembre 2009, dedicata al tema del valore letterario che alcune forme di visual fiction per il pubblico giovanile propongono: graphic novels, comics, manga, eccetera, supportati dai nuovi media, interagiscono con la scrittura letteraria nel panorama della produzione letteraria attuale. Un incontro di voce che proclamano la necessità, da parte di studiosi, ricercatori e docenti del settore letterario e linguistico, di apertura e nuove conoscenze del multimodal world di prodotti letterari, come ad esempio picture books, comics, graphic novels, che espandono gli orizzonti dell’esperienza letteraria a livello globale. Fondato su utili suggerimenti teorici, tra cui: P. Pinsent, The Power of the Page, David Fulton Publishers, London 119; E. T. Dresang, Radical Change: Books for Youth in a Digital Age, The H. G. Wilson Company, New York 1999; P. Gravett, Manga, Laurence King Publishing 2004; P. Burke, Cultural Hybridity, Polity Press, Cambridge 2009, il saggio che si pone all’attenzione, S. Tondo, “Crossing a Graphic Text with Classics of Children’s Literature: Disney’s Manga Kingdom Hearts”, sostiene la tesi che i nuovi linguaggi e le nuove forme del manga, nella loro cross-over quality, possono essere utili strumenti per leggere l’oggi e per ritornare sempre alla versione stampata dei vecchi classici della Children’s Literature, e contribuire al mantenimento in vita della cultura del libro e del testo stampato, in una fertile interazione con strumenti più nuovi e sicuramente più seducenti per il pubblico giovanile, garantendo aspetti fondamentali nella ricerca e nella didattica della comunicazione letteraria.
