The aim of this study is to investigate the illustrations in a classical children’s book in order to see how the pictures can support reading comprehension during reading aloud in the classroom. The study analyses three different Swedish editions of Alice in Wonderland with the aid of analytical questions inspired by Maria Nikolajeva’s analysis in Bilderbokens pusselbitar (2000). The three editions show dissimilarities in the use of illustrations to assist pupils in their understanding of the text. One of the editions in particular stands out in that it provides detailed pictorial information in connection with descriptions of people and places that pupils might otherwise find hard to understand.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There have and continue to inspire many adaptations since their publication. The purpose of this thesis is to compare the treatment of the narrative, characters and dialogue of Alice in different forms of media. I will be looking at Frank Beddor’s The Looking Glass Wars, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Nick Willing’s Alice, American McGee’s Alice, and Madness Returns.

Escrito e publicado no período vitoriano, Alice apresenta um cenário repleto de fantasia onde a protagonista vive suas aventuras, que são vistas por muitos leitores como algo meramente fantasioso e desprovido de lógica. A partir de leituras relacionadas à sociedade vitoriana e ao discurso histórico, percebe-se que os acontecimentos e experiências experimentados pela garota são permeados por traços irônicos relativos à sociedade em que Alice vivia. A presente dissertação propõe, com base no estudo da narrativa histórica realizado por Hayden White, particularmente a questão do tropo da ironia, o entendimento de como o discurso no Alice é relacionado a implicações da ideologia da época. No âmbito da História da época e das técnicas discursivas utilizadas pelo autor o presente trabalho resgata alguns dos aspectos históricos ironizados por Carroll, utilizando não somente os estudos relacionados à linguagem e aos modos de elaboração de enredo de Hayden White (1994, 1995), mas também a história dos princípios educacionais da Inglaterra vitoriana, de Morais (2004). / Published in 1865 and considered a work nonsense, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is the best-known book by Lewis Carroll (pen-name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). Written and published in the Victorian period, Alice is set in a fantastic scenario where the protagonist’s adventures take place, and the book is seen by many readers as something merely fanciful and illogical. From readings related to Victorian society and historical discourse, it is clear that the events and experiences lived by the girl are permeated by ironic traces related to the society of Alice’s day. The present dissertation, based on Hayden White’s study of historical narrative, particularly the question of the trope of irony, proposes an understanding of how Carroll’s discourse in Alice is related to implications of the prevailing ideology. In the context of the history of the period and of the discursive techniques used by the author the present study examines some of the historical aspects satirised by Carroll, utilising not only Hayden White’s studies of language and modes of plot development (1994, 1995), but also Morais’s history of the principles of Victorian education, Morais (2004).

Essa dissertação apresenta mais uma aventura de Alice atravessando mais de um século de diálogos e figuras (e de que serve um livro sem figuras e nem diálogos, pensou Alice) com foco no surrealismo. A viagem parte do passeio de barco quando a estória de Alice foi contada pela primeira vez, chegando até as viagens da menina pela webland no mundo contemporâneo. As ilustrações de Lewis Carroll e John Tenniel apresentam a menina vitoriana, contrapondo às influências românticas e pré-rafaelitas de Carroll, à caricatura e às intertextualidades que cruzam às ilustrações de John Tenniel. Num Segundo momento a menina salta do livro de estórias infantis para o livro de imagens poéticas, viajando por um labirinto aonde encontra diversas Alices surrealistas. A femme enfant, a colagem, a imagem poética, a metamorfose, o objeto surrealista e o maravilhoso são os caminhos percorridos nessa aventura. Num terceiro momento Alice viaja pelo mundo contemporâneo aonde a ilustração ganha contornos mais complexos e desafiadores. Arte e ilustração se cruzam nas trilhas da menina de muitas faces. / This dissertation presents another adventure of Alice through more than a century of pictures and conversations (and what is the use of a book without pictures and conversations?, thought Alice to herself). The travel departs from the boat trip where the story of Alice was first told, arriving to the adventures of the girl in the web-land in contemporary world. The illustrations by John Tenniel and Lewis Carroll present the Victorian Alice, contrasting Carroll\'s influences of romanticism and pre-Raphaelism with the caricatures and intertextual procedures of John Tenniel\' illustrations. In a second moment the girl jumps from the book of children\'s stories to the book of poetic images, traveling through a maze where she will find several surreal Alices. Femme enfants, collages, poetic images, metamorphosis, surreal objects and the marvelous are paths crossed in this adventure. In the third part Alice travels in the contemporary world where illustration gets more complex and challenging contours. Art and illustration are on the trail of the girl of many faces.

What does it sound like to fall down a rabbit hole? This was not a question that concerned Lewis Carroll when he wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, but it has challenged the many individuals who have adapted his story for film, ballet, video games, and other multimedia formats since its creation. In recent decades, the proliferation of adaptations across a variety of new media has offered scholars a renewed opportunity to more closely examine this and other critical issues raised when considering the relationships between adapted texts and their original sources. This dissertation argues for a greater critical emphasis on the aurality of adaptation by examining the narrative potential of sound in adaptations across a variety of media forms. Despite scholarship on adaptations and comparable studies contemplating sound in adapted texts, these two streams of scholarly inquiry have largely remained isolated within adaptation studies and musicology, respectively. Through this dissertation, I provide an examination of sound’s capacity to shape, nuance, or subvert the other parts of a multimedia adaptation, thus bridging these disciplinary discussions. This dissertation balances a broad survey of Alice adaptations with the highly focused examination of two case studies: Christopher Wheeldon’s ballet, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and Tim Burton’s film, Alice in Wonderland. The survey demonstrates a model for analyzing the aurality of adaptation across media forms, while the case studies provide an in-depth examination of aural adaptation in relation to specific media forms. The analysis undertaken focuses on the intersection of narrative, sound, and adaptation, revealing complex and multifaceted relationships. In this work, I merge score analysis with visual and narrative analyses, using films or filmed versions of stage productions as the primary source materials. From this rigorous comparative analysis, trends in musical interpretation emerge, indicating some of the prevailing expectations concerning Alice and its aural adaptations.

This essay claims that the novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass trigger nostalgia in the contemporary reader. Nostalgia is a powerful and complex feeling which, in contemporary times, is triggered by a longing for the lost childhood. This essay connects that longing with the novels about Alice. I argue that the nostalgic experience in the Alice in Wonderland books combines utopia and Bakhtin's concept of carnival and brings it into the lost childhood. The utopian part strives for something better while the carnivalesque part is an upheaval of daily life. This essay illustrates how utopia and carnival are related to a childhood free of adulthood anxieties and that they are a part of Alice in Wonderland, which triggers nostalgia in the adult reader.
