Abstract

Book cover is not only the representation of its content but can also be the representation of the sociocultural aspects of its production site. Especially with a sensitive matter such as feminism, each publisher in each respective society must have designed book covers that both fit and attract the readers. Employing visual grammar theory by Kress and Van Leeuwen, this paper analyses two different book covers, the British and the Indonesian versions, of the translated bestselling feminist fiction Kim Ji Young, Born in 1982. It intends to see how the combination of modes constructs meanings in each version and how it reflects the sensitivity of both societies regarding feminist ideology. The findings of this paper suggest that British society is open about the feminism ideology, whereas Indonesian society has not been too open in regards to the doctrine or the issue just yet.
