When the novel is seen as another gender: The album of trimmings as a structuring genus in The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt

Abstract

There is an increasing number of novels that stylise discursive genres historically not associated with the literature, which structure the plot and are crucial in making a meaningful contribution to the text in many ways, while exploiting its graphic potential visibly. Rather than literary skills, these narratives should be seen as embedded in a context that has the growing role of experimental graphic exploitation in contemporary fiction in the 21st century and calls for active and competent readers to address them. The Bajtín novel theory makes it possible to shed light on them, in that it conceives the novel gender as a construct socio-cultural discursive, a genus with memory that, through its resources, creates expectations and collectors in line with cultural changes and other discursive genders, in constant transformation, which draws on social speeches to develop a specific vision of the world and discuss the problems of their time. This work proposes a lower reading of The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt: a novel in pictures (2011) from the US Caroline Preston, a novel narrative that is seen, i.e. it is presented under the appearance of a trimmings album.
