A tool for analyzing the influence of the digital and post-digital paradigm in the contemporary illustrated album

The picturebook is a total and porous artefact. Throughout its history it has absorbed and reflected in its different resources the social, political and technological changes that surround him. It is this mirror feature and archaeological artefact that help us to propose an analysis tool that can map the influence of digital grammar and post-digital paradigms on the contemporary picturebook. The need for an analysis tool that can include concepts such as interactivity, connectivity, access or control seems to us fundamental, as it reveals another approach to reflection on the characteristics of picturebook that are closer to the different actors that were born already in a digital or post-digital world.
