| Summary: | The aim here is to explore an emerging societal phenomenon that is spreading virally across the UK, yet to date has been relatively unstudied by genre specialists. Literary tattooing displaces the territory of magic, outside its traditional bookish vector, in a form other than the cinematic, videographic or digital model, by imagining a new space that allows the marvelous to be inscribed on the skin. Literary tattooing is not a recent phenomenon as such; the novelty is rather to be found in the nature of the tattooed texts which seem to come more and more frequently from the corpus of children's literature. The success of J. K. Rowling's novels is probably not foreign to this trend, if we judge by the number of websites dedicated to tattoos inspired by the Harry Potter series. The magic literary tattoo can manifest itself as a quote, famous or cryptic, referenced or not. So what are the most commonly tattooed children's literature texts? Are they recent texts? What can we conclude about the renewal of contemporary youth culture? |
