The intersection of literature and digital platforms, particularly social media, is increasingly recognized, with research analyzing how these mediums influence narrative forms and public discourse. - Gender Studies and Feminist Critique:
There is a growing emphasis on gender and feminist perspectives in literature, with a focus on the representation and experiences of women in various literary contexts. - Ecocriticism and Posthumanism:

Declining or Waning

Research specifically dedicated to historical linguistics appears to be declining, with fewer papers addressing the evolution of the French language over centuries. - Cultural Studies of Colonialism:
While once a significant area, the focus on colonial narratives and their impact on French literature has lessened, possibly due to a broader shift towards post-colonial and contemporary issues. - Translation Studies:
Although translation remains a relevant topic, the specific analysis of translation practices in historical contexts has decreased, indicating a shift towards modern translation issues. - Formalist Literary Criticism:
