Abstract

This study explores the application of John G. Cawelti's classic detective formula in the film The Pale Blue Eye (2022), which is an adaptation of Louis Bayard's 2003 novel. As part of popular literature, the film represents the enduring appeal of the mystery-detective genre through recognizable narrative patterns and conventions. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and narrative analysis techniques, this study identifies how the six main elements of the classic detective formula (1) mysterious crime situation, (2) introduction of the detective character, (3) investigation process, (4) announcement of the solution, (5) explanation of the solution, and (6) final resolution, are implemented in the film's story structure. The results of the analysis show that the film not only follows the conventional structure of the detective genre, but also enriches the narrative through additional elements such as a Watsonian-style narrator (Edgar Allan Poe) and the existence of a two-layer solution that deviates from the role of the classic detective as a neutral and detached figure. Thus, The Pale Blue Eye proves the flexibility and cultural relevance of the detective story formula in contemporary popular media, as Cawelti's theory suggests that genre conventions serve as both structural guides and mirrors of cultural meanings.

Abstract

This study discusses how the relationship between humans and nature is represented in popular song lyrics through the perspective of Emerson's Transcendentalism. This study examines how song lyrics can represent alternative views of nature as personal and moral consciousness. This study is a literary critique that takes a mimetic and expressive approach, using comparative literature as an umbrella to compare the two objects of study. The objects of this study are the lyrics of the songs Colors of the Wind and Lihatlah Lebih Dekat, which are analyzed using Emerson's four functions of nature: Commodity, Beauty, Language, and Discipline. The results show that Colors of the Wind represents all four functions of nature, with an emphasis on criticism of the commodification of nature, colonialism, and moral learning through human-nature relations. Meanwhile, Lihatlah Lebih Dekat highlights the function of Language by describing nature as a symbolic medium that encourages reflection on nature. This difference shows that Transcendentalism is adaptable and remains relevant across language contexts, and can be used to read popular song lyrics as literary texts that represent individual awareness of nature.
