Remediation and digital literature for children and young adults.
Keywords:
Children’s literature., Remediation., Digital literature., Bookapps., Digital book.Abstract
In this article, I present an analysis of contemporary digital literature works aimed at children and young adults based on the theory of remediation by Richard Grusin and Jay David Bolter. In the first section I discuss possible advantages and limitations of this theory when applied to the digital literature for children and young adults studies. Subsequently, I argue that the main remediation logics – imitation, enhancement, remodeling, and absorption – are presented in different formats of digital works addressed to this audience. Finally, I emphasize that the concept of remediation is valuable for understanding the predominant characteristics of these works, provided that its categories are not regarded as fixed or inflexible.
