"Book Cover as an Artistic Statement and a Cultural Phenomenon - The Canadian Example"

This paper deals with some basic features of postmodernist book cover designs, the appli cation of the theory of multimodality in book cover design analyses, and, most importantly, the cultural aspect of creation and interpretation of book cover designs. My research and respective results are exemplified by short analyses of cover designs of three collections of short fiction by Alice Munro, which feature the artwork of the Canadian painter Mary Pratt. The focus of analyses is on the interrelations between the artistic and cultural features of both images and texts, and how these interrelations help in establishing the notion of Canadianness.
