Abstract

This research aims to analyze patterns of action and the contribution of crime elements and clues as part of the pattern of action in Enola Holmes 2022. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with Cawelti's detective formula theory (1976) as the analytical framework. From the research results, researcher found some aspects of pattern of action which were grouped into several categories, namely detective introduction, crime and clues, investigation, announcement of solutions, explanation of solutions, and final resolution (denouement). The detective introduction category includes aspects that introduce the main character as an intelligent and independent young detective. In the crime and clues category, various elements were found that highlight how the crime is introduced and the clues are presented. The investigation category focuses on the search and information gathering process carried out by Enola. The solution announcement includes the moment where the solution to the mystery is revealed. The solution explanation details how Enola explains the steps taken to solve the case. The resolution category highlights how all the story elements tie together into one satisfying conclusion. This research shows that the Enola Holmes 2022 film uses pattern of action typical of the detective genre well to create an interesting story. Crimes and clues are essential in building the structure of the story, adding tension, and driving the plot forward.

Abstract

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) offers an innovative reinterpretation of adventure genre conventions by integrating elements of science fiction, absurdist comedy, and existential inquiry. The film reframes adventure not solely as a physical journey across dimensions, but as an emotional and psychological odyssey, centered on the protagonist Evelyn’s internal transformation. Drawing upon John G. Cawelti’s theory of adventure narrative structure, this paper examines how traditional genre patterns are reshaped within a chaotic multiverse framework. Evelyn’s “verse-jumping”—depicted as more than spatial traversal—functions as a symbolic mirror of self-reflection, exposing multiple unrealized paths within her fractured identity. Employing a qualitative research approach and content analysis methodology, the study reveals that the film transcends the conventional ‘save-the-world’ trope to explore deeper themes of self-acceptance, existential pressure, and meaning-making within ordinary life. Ultimately, Everything Everywhere All At Once revitalizes the adventure genre, presenting it in a form that resonates with contemporary narrative complexity and emotional depth.

Abstract

Snowpiercer (2013), directed by Bong Joon-ho, is a science fiction film set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity inhabit a massive train that perpetually circles the globe. The train functions not only as a means of survival but also as a representation of an entrenched and highly stratified social hierarchy. The film portrays systemic inequality and class conflict, making it a compelling subject for analysis through a Marxist theoretical lens. This article examines how class division, labor exploitation, and the struggle between the oppressed and the ruling elite are depicted through the film’s narrative and character development. Using a descriptive-qualitative method and a critical Marxist approach, this study reveals that Snowpiercer serves not merely as visual entertainment but as a potent medium for social critique—challenging capitalist systems and the ideological domination reinforced by structural inequality. The film’s portrayal of resistance among the lower class suggests the emergence of collective consciousness as a response to systemic injustice. As a work of popular literature, Snowpiercer demonstrates how cinema can transmit ideological messages, foster social awareness, and provoke critical reflection on contemporary conditions. Accordingly, the film merits recognition not only as a creative work but also as a politically and educationally relevant tool that stimulates public consciousness.

Abstract

Detective fiction is a formulaic genre that combines familiar narrative structures with the creative freedom of invention. According to John G. Cawelti, the detective story follows a recognizable pattern involving the introduction of a detective, the emergence of a mystery or crime, a logical investigative process, the announcement and explanation of the solution, and a conclusive resolution. This study analyzes Lockwood & Co.: The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud through the lens of Cawelti’s detective story formula to explore how conventional elements are maintained and what narrative inventions are introduced. The novel incorporates key conventions of the detective formula, such as a central mystery, investigation, and rational resolution. However, it also presents significant inventions, including supernatural disturbances as the central crime, teenage protagonists as investigators, and a fusion of detective and horror genres. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the analysis demonstrates that Stroud retains the structural core of the detective narrative while modifying its elements to suit a contemporary young adult and supernatural context. These findings highlight the flexibility of the detective story formula and its potential for transformation without losing narrative coherence.

Abstract

This research explores the intersection of racial capitalism and representation in R.F. Kuang’s novel Yellowface (2023), which offers a powerful critique of the publishing industry’s commodification of minority voices. This research investigates how capitalist structures shape the way racial and cultural of East Asian identities are represented, appropriated, and exploited in contemporary literary production. This research uses a qualitative approach with textual analysis as the main method, applying theories of racial capitalism, identity, and representation to examine the novel’s portrayal of power dynamics, performative allyship, and white fragility. The novel centers on June Hayward, a white author who steals a manuscript from her late Asian American friend, Athena Liu, and publishes it under an ambiguous pseudonym to benefit from the diversity trend. Through this act, Kuang critiques the exploitation of marginalized experiences by dominant (white) institutions and individuals in pursuit of profit and legitimacy. The analysis reveals several major issues: first, the fetishization of exotic cultural identity as a marketable commodity; second, the silencing of subaltern voices by dominant power structures; and third, the prevalence of symbolic diversity and superficial inclusion within the creative industries. This research concludes that Yellowface not only exposes how race and cultural trauma are used as tools for economic gain in the publishing world, but also challenges the ethical boundaries of authorship, authenticity, and allyship in a racially stratified capitalist system. The novel encourages readers and cultural institutions to reflect on how they may contribute to injustice while appearing to support inclusion and representation.
