Japanese Self-Help Book Covers: Multimodal Cross-Cultural Translations (Brill Research Perspectives in Popular Culture) - Softcover
Synopsis
Why does the same book look so different around the world? This study examines the global covers of the Japanese bestseller The Courage to Be Disliked. Using a new approach to Multimodal Discourse Analysis, it compares editions from Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, to ask how design shapes meaning. You will see how small visual choices―colour, layout, images, and typography―shape ideas about the “East” and the “West,” construct identities, and circulate ideology. By examining book covers as powerful paratexts, this study reveals how translation and design reshape cultural meaning across borders.
