A jornada do herói no livro ilustrado contemporâneo: análise da obra O Passeio, de Pablo Lugones e Alexandre Rampazo

Nowadays, the literacy of images has been shown to be necessary since they occupy space in all media. However, usually, reading books, whose illustrations have an esthetic impregnation, which fosters the constitution of the reader's affective memory and literates his / her eyes since childhood, is not part of the education of readers in the school environment. In these books, materiality, colors in illustrations, format, bottom of pages, composition of elements, typography, among other elements, are at the service of history. In them, everything counts in a broad sense (GONZALEZ, 2017), which is why they have proved to be true objects of art that deserve reflections as to their potential for the formation of the aesthetic reader (ECO, 2003). Thus, the present article aims to analyze the work O Passeio (LUGONES, 2017), having as theoretical support the Aesthetics of Reception (JAUSS, 1994; ISER, 1996, 1999). This book, written by Pablo Lugones and richly illustrated by Alexandre Rampazo (2017), addresses the theme of travel in the form of an existential walk that, enjoyed by father and daughter even when one of them is on a different path, leads to the understanding of natural life cycles. Its history, for presenting protagonists in becoming who obtain knowledge along the journey, dialogues with Bildungsroman.
