Declining or Waning

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:
