Embroidered Ilustrations: Paratextuality and Book Design with Textile Arts

Erika Viviane Costa Vieira

Abstract


Handcrafted compositions make some editorial projects unique. Among them, book covers that use embroidered illustrations are emphasized. Book covers configure the threshold that inhabits the intermedial space between the physical materiality of the book and its content. The theoretical framework supporting this study is found in the concept of intermedial reference by Irina Rajewsky (2005), while the materiality of embroidered illustrations becomes viable as a material and sensory media modality, according to Lars Elleström's (2020) studies. The notion of paratext, in turn, is supported by Gérard Genette (1997). In summary, we seek to deepen the studies of intermediality by addressing textile materiality and its haptic capacity in editorial projects.
