Trending and Emerging

An emerging trend is the incorporation of interdisciplinary cultural studies approaches, combining literature, performance, and visual culture to deepen understanding of Atlantic identities and histories.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Colonial Narratives:
There is a noticeable decline in papers focusing solely on traditional colonial narratives without critical engagement. Scholars are increasingly seeking to challenge and reframe these narratives through decolonial lenses. - Eurocentric Perspectives:
Research that primarily adopts Eurocentric viewpoints is waning. Instead, there is a growing emphasis on indigenous and marginalized voices within Atlantic histories, which are gaining more academic attention. - Static Historical Accounts:
Less emphasis is being placed on static historical accounts that do not connect past events to contemporary issues. The journal is moving towards analyses that link historical events with current geopolitical and social realities. - Solely Economic Analyses:
Themes that focus exclusively on economic factors of the Atlantic world, such as trade and commodities, are becoming less frequent as the journal prioritizes cultural, social, and humanistic approaches. - Limited Gender Perspectives:
There is a declining focus on gender perspectives in Atlantic studies. The journal is increasingly recognizing the importance of gender analysis, which suggests a shift away from topics that do not consider gender dynamics.
