Histórias em hai-kai: narradas com a palavra, a pintura e o desenho.

Abstract

“Imagine yourself on the magic carpet” is one of the lines of one of the stories told in Stories in hai-kai by Maria José Palo (literary text) and Kris Palo (illustration). The narrator duo invites the child-reader to take an imaginary flight where it is possible to sit on the magic carpet and listen-read-inventory the many stories. In this work, the haiku formula is revisited: three verses, seventeen syllables and an endless story because its length depends on the reader's imagination and their stay on the page. The captured moment is in the writing as if it were a cinematic shot and is in the illustration that sets the word in motion. The linguistic/imagery/sound interface is revealed in the procedures of poetic writing: in the ellipses, in the visual arrangement of the verses, in the image and sound load of the word and, finally, in the assembly of the stanza. The guiding objective of the study is to present the contribution of haiku to the formation of the literary reader, and, to this end, the study comprises two moments: firstly, highlighting the characteristic features of haiku poetics; in the second, to highlight the fabulous power of writing and illustration in Stories in hai-kai
