Abstract

This article examines how Gudang Garam Filter International advertisements construct myths of masculinity, power, and success using visual and narrative elements. Using Roland Barthes’s semiotic approach, which conceptualizes myth not as falsehood but as a culturally constructed narrative that gives ideological meaning to signs, this study analyzes symbols such as dark colors, luxury cars, formal clothing, and dominant activities that create the image of a strong and sophisticated man. The analysis shows that these elements build a narrative of a successful man who dominates his social environment despite contradicting government health warnings. Ethical implications are also discussed considering how such advertisements may create cognitive dissonance among consumers. Furthermore, although consumers are generally aware of the dangers of smoking, factors such as addiction, identity seeking among teenagers, and the tobacco industry's contribution to the national economy highlight the complexity of the issue. This study emphasizes the need for critical awareness in interpreting advertising narratives in broader social and public health realities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of the classical detective formula in Keigo Higashino’s novel Yogisha X no Kenshin using John George Cawelti’s theory of the classical detective formula. The purpose of this research is to identify the narrative patterns and their modifications that distinguish the novel from conventional detective formulas. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a close-reading technique. The data were obtained from the Japanese version of the novel and its Indonesian translation, then classified according to the five aspects of the classical detective formula: introduction of the detective, crime and clues, investigation, announcement of the solution, explanation of the solution, and the ending. The findings show that although the classical detective formula is applied consistently, it is accompanied by structural innovations. The story does not begin with the introduction of the detective, but instead opens with the depiction of a crime supported by false clues functioning as diversions. The character Yukawa Manabu is portrayed as a physics professor who solves the case through a scientific approach. The investigation process highlights not only the criminal aspects but also the moral conflicts accompanying the perpetrator’s actions. The stages of announcing and explaining the solution, together with the ending, are presented sequentially and form a confrontational structure in revealing the true perpetrator. Yogisha X no Kenshin enriches the detective genre by modifying the classical formula through scientific reasoning, clue manipulation, and nuanced characterization of the perpetrator. Such innovations represent an important contribution to the development of modern detective formulas in Japan.
