AB - At the impasse of critical theory, a group of critics has turned their attention to the plurality of the world, exploring possibilities beyond traditional criticism. The concept of Pluriverse serves as both a theoretical framework and a practical discourse that seeks to encompass these alternative possibilities. Coined from the words "plural" and "universe," it critiques the illusion of the "One World World" created by the Global North's perception of itself as universal. The Pluriverse aims to restore the realities of other beings in the world by repositioning humans as interdependent entities within a relational world. This study explores the potential of multiple worlds through an analysis of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once (dir. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, 2022). By focusing on an Asian woman in the US, who finds herself trapped in a complex situation with no apparent solution, the film challenges the confinement of the multiverse within the digital realm and its capture by the dominant logic of the modern world. What is crucial in this process is not the desire and effort to be part of the “One World World.” Instead, the film emphasizes that the possibility of creating a Pluriverse can be realized by reestablishing relationality and demonstrating care for others.
