“…As Brian O 'Neil, ex-Chief Inspector of Ancient Monuments (1954), had said, 'the word "Castle" may be seen on English maps against all manner of different sites and buildings, some fortified, some purely (sic) residential, from long-abandoned prehistoric camps to pseudo-Gothic shams. The practice of the country, on which the makers of the maps relied, is no sure guide in this respect' (Coulson, 1996). Therefore, the function of a castle might differ from one another depends on the location and environment, and Speight already stated about this issue where she believed that a castle needs to be understood in a local, regional or national context since it represents different levels of rights and lordship, different social classes, different relationships with hinterland and community.…”

This study aims to look at the cultural representations within the cover of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from three different countries, namely the United Kingdom, the United States, and Indonesia, and how the cultures of three countries influence the focuses represented on the cover. Using cultural semiotic theory by Yuri Lotman, this research uses a descriptive-analytical method to analyze the visual and verbal texts synchronicly and diachronicly on the basis of temporal context to see the relationship between the culture and the focuses. This study indicates several cultural representations on each cover that can only be seen when these focuses are analyzed with their diachronic aspects. Some of the focuses only appears on one cover and not on the two other covers because there are no correlations between the focus it represents and the culture of that country, so the cover chooses to display other focuses which do have cultural and historical correlations with the country. These cultures are represented and contributed to influence the focuses displayed on the cover. The influence on each focuses could take the form through its pose and portrayal, size comparison, visibility, location, color, and also the style of the illustration itself.

“…Simpson, it should be added, developed a style which attempted to place his objects of study into their wider socio-economic and cultural contexts, but at the same time it remained rooted in a vision of castles as the agents of conquest. For a wider contextual setting for this tradition, see Coulson 1996. 66 Coles 1890Coles 1891-92;Coles 1892-93;Oram 2000, 218-221;Oram 2005, 91-2, 93, 102-105.…”

One of the central themes in the traditional historiography of medieval Scotland is that in parallel with the emergence from the late 1000s of an identifiable noble stratum comparable to the aristocratic hierarchies of Norman England and Frankish Europe there was an attendant development of new forms in the physical expression of lordship. The exercise of lordly power was, it is argued, reinforced through the formalising of lord-dependent relations in a suitable "arena where social relations are negotiated".2 What the formalising of lordship relations meant in physical terms, however, remains largely a matter of conjecture, for, powerfully presented though the argument has been, current knowledge of the character and composition of centres of secular power in ninth-to twelfth-century Scotland, when a novel expression of lordly power -the castle -was apparently imported as part of the cultural baggage of colonists from England and Frankish Europe, remains too fragmentary to provide substantive support to sustain it. For the period after c.1100, furthermore, the focus has fixed primarily upon the emergence of the castle as the principal architectural manifestation of lordly power to the neglect of possible continuity in indigenous traditions in some areas. In large part, this imbalance has resulted from the dearth of easily datable architectural remains from the period 1050-1150 from which to establish the character of native high status residences, and the paucity of archaeological excavation at all but some of the highest status Early Historic period sites. Castle studies in Scotland, moreover, despite a considerable output of publications which stress the longevity of timber and earthwork construction, 3 has continued to be dominated by a methodology grounded in a chronologically ordered sequence of development from motte and bailey forms, through stone-built enclosures to tower-houses of increasingly complex design, a scheme originally devised for Scotland in the late nineteenth century founded on analogous comparison principally with England and northern France. 4 It is the aim of this paper to review the evidence for centres of royal and lordly 1 I am grateful to Dr Oliver Creighton, Dr Kieran O"Conor and Mr Geoffrey Stell for all their generous and invaluable advice and comments on earlier drafts of this article. 2 Driscoll 1998, 34. 3 See, for example, Haggarty and Tabraham 1982; Oram 2000, 228-229. 4 This framework bears close comparison with that reviewed in Coulson 1996 for England, where a "military architecture" paradigm which was founded principally upon inappropriate analogy with northern mainland European experience, retrospective projection of post-medieval military power in Scotland from the mid-eleventh to mid-thirteenth century, identify the principal cultural traditions in building design, and to offer a critique of some of the traditional interpretative models. It is important to stress at the outset how little work at any level, archaeological or historical, has been undertaken on Scott...
