Relações entre design e livro nas modulações gráfico-editoriais da obra Bibi, de Gustavo Piqueira, publicada pela editora Lote 42

Abstract

This study explores the graphic-editorial modulations in the book Bibi, by Gustavo Piqueira, published by Lote 42 based on the technical specifications of each booklet of the brochure and their relationships with the literary construction and the development of the narrative. By exploring metalanguage, Gustavo Piqueira makes us discuss about the nature of books. Unlike the predominant tendency, where paratexts serve the text in the construction of the work, Bibi's proposal celebrates the space for graphic experimentation, in which the traditional hierarchy between literature and design dissolves in the poetic experience of the narrative. In an perspective within, we find the reordering of the edition, as well as a restructuring of the editorial flow, where the roles of the editor, author, designer, and printer blend and sometimes amalgamate; and in an external point of view, we see the book as a product of a heterogeneous medium that expresses itself through the refraction of the political world in the editorial field.
