Abstract

Changes in book cover design are a common practice among publishers, particularly for best-selling novels. This phenomenon is evident in Crooked House by Agatha Christie, which has undergone four distinct cover redesigns in 1986, 2000, 2009, and 2017. These design variations form the foundation of this study. The research aims to analyze the use of visual signs on the covers of Crooked House to identify, interpret, and compare the meanings conveyed through each visual element across different editions. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory, which consists of three core components: representamen (sign), object, and interpretant. The study also examines stylistic variations and design trends in each cover edition to explore how visual differences influence the transmission of meaning and the representation of the novel’s narrative essence. The findings indicate that, despite their visual diversity, each cover conveys a consistent underlying meaning and impression related to the novel’s thematic content. The variations among editions are influenced by contextual factors such as prevailing design trends of each era and the distinctive artistic styles of individual illustrators. These contextual elements shape the visual expression of the covers while preserving the core semiotic identity of the novel.

Abstract

In the context of globalization, cultural practices and ideologies are increasingly shaped through processes of borrowing, mixing, and remaking, resulting in new hybrid cultural forms. This article examines Instagram Reels as a medium of transcultural interaction by focusing on selected user-generated content related to wedding ceremonies, pre-wedding photo shoots, humor scenes, and slice-of-life narratives of diaspora families or international couples. Using a qualitative netnographic approach, the study selected 15 publicly accessible Reels and analyzed their visual elements, sound, narration, language use, symbolic references, and cultural markers. The findings show that Instagram Reels functions not only as a short-video platform for self-expression and entertainment, but also as a participatory space where local traditions, global popular culture, and everyday intercultural practices are remixed. Through these interactions, influencers and ordinary users produce hybrid cultural expressions that circulate beyond geographical and national boundaries. The study contributes to the understanding of digital platforms as fluid spaces of transcultural dialogue, where culture is continuously negotiated, reproduced, and recontextualized through user participation.
