Trending and Emerging
- Digital Humanities and Technology in Literature:
An increasing number of papers explore the intersection of digital technology and literary studies, including the use of digital tools for literary analysis and the impact of technology on reading practices. - Intercultural and Transnational Perspectives:
There is a growing interest in studies that address intercultural dialogues and transnational narratives, reflecting a broader global context within which French literature is situated. - Environmental and Ecocritical Literature:
Emerging themes include ecocriticism and the representation of environmental issues in literature, signifying a response to global environmental challenges and the role of literature in addressing these concerns. - Identity and Migration Narratives:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Canon:
There is a noticeable decrease in the analysis of classical French literature, as contemporary discussions tend to favor modern and postmodern narratives that engage more directly with current social issues. - Historical Linguistics:
Research focused on historical linguistics, particularly diachronic studies of the French language, appears less frequently, indicating a shift towards more applied linguistic studies relevant to current educational practices. - Static Cultural Studies:
The earlier focus on static cultural studies that examined fixed cultural identities is declining in favor of dynamic approaches that consider globalization, migration, and intercultural exchanges. - Translation Studies in Isolation:
While translation remains a topic of interest, studies that treat translation as a standalone discipline without integrating it into broader cultural or linguistic contexts are becoming less prevalent. - Gender Studies in Traditional Contexts:
There has been a reduction in gender studies focused solely on traditional roles within literature, with a growing emphasis on intersectionality and contemporary feminist perspectives.
