Abstract

In this study, John Burningham's picturebooks(『Come Away from The Water, Shirley』, 『Time to Get Out of The Bath, Shirley』) was analyzed using the concept of carnival among Bakhtin's conversationalism theory. In John Burningham's picturebooks, the unconscious desire for the deviation of the main character, Shirley, is transformed into an adventure in an extraordinary imaginary world, and is depicted as a festival with laughter. Through picturebooks, children are satisfied by indirectly experiencing the forbidden behavior in reality by converting it into an event in the imaginary world. This indirect experience is very important for children to naturally resolve their dissatisfaction in reality and to develop their own original inner development. This study also suggests that providing an environment where children can easily access various picturebooks at home or early childhood education institutions plays a very important role in their growth.

본 연구에서는 존 버닝햄의 그림책 2권(『셜리야, 물가에 가지 마!』, 『셜리야, 목욕은 이제 그만!』)을 Bakhtin의 대화주의 이론 중 카니발의 개념을 이용하여 분석했다. 존 버닝햄의 그림책에서는 주인공 '셜리'의 일탈에 대한 무의식적인 소망이 기상천외한 상상세계에서의 모험으로 전환되어 웃음이 곁들여진 축제와 같은 사건으로 묘사되고 있다. 그림책을 통해서 유아들은 현실에서 금지된 행동을 상상세계에서의 사건으로 전환 시켜 간접적으로 체험하면서 만족한다. 이러한 간접 경험은 유아가 현실에서의 불만을 자연스럽게 해소하면서 자기만의 독창적인 내적 발달을 하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 가정이나 유아교육기관에서 유아들에게 다양한 그림책을 쉽게 접할 수 있는 환경을 제공하는 것이 그들의 성장에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 것도 또한 시사하고 있다.
