Özet:

 The literature addressing children and young adults has constructed diverse notions of childhood and youth. This pattern holds true within the medium of comics or graphic novels, particularly when stories revolve around characters with a childlike or adolescent nature. This article delves into the sociocultural perceptions of childhood and youth in multimedia graphic novels. These perceptions will be subjected to a meta-level analysis. The inquiry revolves around how these concepts of childhood and youth have been portrayed and how they should be interpreted. Specifically, these notions intersect with inquiries into how characters can be understood as children and adolescents, given the familial and societal expectations placed upon this demographic and including pedagogical attitudes. The concept of focalization can be inferred to prove insightful for analyzing the underlying conceptualization of childhood in graphic novels. The initial phase of the study discusses various theoretical concepts regarding perspective by encompassing both textual and visual models of perspective. The study subsequently examines discrepancies and commonalities in the parametric arrangement of textual and visual perspective. Moreover, the article emphasizes the mechanisms that guide the readers attention. These aspects constitute the focal point of the article and will be elucidated upon by analyzing the award-winning graphic novel Weites Land by Catherine Meurisse 2019 and employing the close reading methodology.
