Resumo

Este artículo ofrece un análisis del discurso multimodal del álbum ilustrado Daddy, Papa, and Me (2009), en el que hay una familia de dos padres con un hijo. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo el texto escrito y el visual crean significado y observar si el niño tiene una relación simétrica con ambos padres. Se empleará el método de Semiótica Social Visual desarrollado por Kress y van Leeuwen (2006) basado en la Linguística Sistémica Funcional de Halliday, con el fin de explorar los significados representativos, interpersonales y composicionales. El análisis mostrará que el niño y sus padres son dinámicos, tal y como muestran las acciones representadas en las imágenenes y el uso de procesos materiales. Sin embargo, el análisis multimodal no fomenta la interacción con los/as lectores/as, ya que la mayoría de las imágenes son ofrecimientos (offers) y el predominio de ángulos oblicuos. Las imágenes y el texto escrito se integran en la página, pero las imágenes destacan para que las/os niñas/os puedan entender el significado con solo mirar las imágenes El escritor y el ilustrador colaboran para contar la historia de una manera sencilla, con el objetivo de hacer la trama accesible a las/os niñas/os e invitarlas/os a identificarse con las acciones que se están narrando.
