Between Being and Belonging – Home and Identity in 'The Graveyard Book' represented through Image and Text

Sammanfattning: This project aims to investigate the interplay and function of visual and textual narrative working together to expand and express a story. It will specifically analyze The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman and its accompanying illustrations provided by Chris Riddell and Dave McKean. This investigation will also consider the roles of identity and home, and their impact on the narrative as they are developed in the interplay of images and text. Analysis focused on the aspects of adaptation, form, and the concept of thirdspace will extend and expand the investigation further and raise questions for new research on the subject.
