Abstract

This study examines the Indonesian edition book cover of As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow, illustrated by Nadya Zahwa Noor, using Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic semiotic framework. As book covers function as multimodal paratexts that shape reader expectations, analyzing their semiotic components allows a deeper understanding of how visual signs convey cultural, emotional, and narrative meanings. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzes eight selected visual signs identified based on their visual salience, narrative relevance, and cultural symbolic significance within the cover composition. Each sign is examined through the relationship between representamen, object, and interpretant, and categorized as icon, index, or symbol. The findings reveal that the ornamental Middle Eastern–inspired frame, dominant blue and green color composition, lemon imagery and lemon trees, the silhouetted male and female figures, and their spatial arrangement collectively construct a layered visual discourse of hope, identity, conflict, and resilience. These elements simultaneously index Syrian cultural aesthetics and generate new symbolic meanings within the Indonesian interpretive context. The study demonstrates that the localized cover operates as a culturally adaptive semiotic artifact, illustrating how visual design mediates between global narrative identity and local readership. Through this analysis, the research contributes to broader discussions on visual semiotics, multimodality, and cultural adaptation in global publishing practices.

Abstract

This study examines the women’s worldview in Zoulfa Katouh’s novel As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow. The research aims to analyze how the experiences of war shape female consciousness through the character of Salama Kassab. This study applies Lucien Goldmann’s genetic structuralism, which views literary works as expressions of collective consciousness shaped by socio-historical conditions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis focuses on narrative excerpts that illustrate women’s psychological and social experiences during the Syrian civil war. The findings reveal four major aspects that construct the women’s worldview in the novel: despair and emotional exhaustion, trauma and psychological fragmentation, shattered dreams and disrupted futures, and moral conflict between survival and humanitarian responsibility. These aspects demonstrate how prolonged conflict transforms women’s identities, aspirations, and ethical perspectives. Salama’s experiences reflect not merely an individual struggle but the collective condition of women living in war-affected societies, where caregiving responsibilities, psychological trauma, and moral dilemmas become part of everyday survival. Through the lens of genetic structuralism, the novel articulates a collective female consciousness shaped by violence, displacement, and social collapse. This study contributes to the limited scholarship on women’s collective consciousness in wartime literature by extending Goldmann’s framework into gendered conflict analysis.
