Se emplearán herramientas de análisis crítico del discurso, se analizarán los patrones lingüísticos y visuales de contacto físico entre los padres y el/la niño/a para deconstruir y para determinar si uno de los padres tiene una relación más afectiva con el/la niño/a. Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es aproximarse a la representación de los padres y a su construcción de la masculinidad en una muestra de cuentos infantiles donde el modelo familiar consiste en familias en las que hay dos padres, prestando atención a la relación entre la imagen y el texto escrito. The discoursive analysis shows that, in the sample of picture books analysed, there are aspects related to new masculinities such as representing both fathers doing domestic tasks or taking care of the child, which will have a positive influence on children’s education and socialization. This research will also approach the main textual strategies used to portray and promote gay families. Using some tools of critical discourse analysis, linguistic and visual patters of physical contact between the fathers and the child will be analysed in order to deconstruct masculinity and to determine if one of the fathers has a more affectionate relationship with the child. The analysis shows that this is a picturebook in which having two fathers is represented as nonnormalized, although they perform their family duties as they are expected to because they do the same things that other fathers do.Ībstract The aim of this paper is to approach the representation of fathers and their construction of masculinity in a sample of picture books with two-father families published in the last decade, paying attention to the relationships between the image and the written text. One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads reveals that both visuals and written text narrate the story, although it is the visual that is given a predominant role on the page due to its size, the location of the characters and the frames. The methodology is qualitative-descriptive.
The analysis concentrates on the textual and compositional metafunctions in order to observe the intersemiotic relationship between verbal and visual meanings and their realizations through various linguistic and visual modes.
The analytical tools employed in this study to deconstruct meanings in the said picturebook are Kress and van Leeuwen's (2006) Visual Social Semiotics and Painter et al.'s (2013) model to read visual narratives in children's picturebooks. This paper aims to explore the linguistic and visual choices used by the writer and the illustrator in order to create meaning in the fantasy picturebook One Dad, Two Dads, Brown Dad, Blue Dads (1994), written by Johnny Valentine and illustrated by Melody Sarecky, which features a gay family.
