Uma onda pequenina, de Isabel Minhós Martins e Yara Kono: a reflexão sobre o fazer literário.

Abstract

In the contemporary scenario, we observe a broad growth in picture books written and illustrated by women, ensuring the diversity of voices, the representation of female experiences, values and points of view in different cultural contexts through their verbal and imagery narratives. Starting from a brief contextualization of the scenario of illustrated books written by women in Brazil and Portugal, we propose reading the illustrated book Uma onda pequenina, by Isabel Minhós Martins and Yara Kono, published in 2013 by Planeta Tangerina, seeking to highlight the reflections which are built around the literary work and the materiality of the book itself, whether through verbal, imagery or graphic narrative. Using the reflections of Hutcheon (1984) and Patricia Waugh (1984) regarding metafiction and its strategies, we aim to demonstrate the awareness of literary work and the assumption of poetic work as raw material in the construction of this illustrated book with dual female authorship.
