Research that strictly confines itself to gender studies without incorporating broader sociocultural or intersectional frameworks has become less frequent, indicating a move towards more inclusive analyses. - Static Textual Analysis:
Papers that focus on static textual analysis without engaging with contemporary theoretical frameworks, such as digital humanities or ecocriticism, appear to be declining in favor of more dynamic methodologies. - Conventional Literary Histories:
