The examination of historical cultural narratives, particularly those that do not engage with contemporary relevance, has become less prevalent, indicating a preference for current cultural phenomena and their implications. - National Literature Studies:
The scope of studies focusing exclusively on national literature, especially in isolation from broader regional or global contexts, has diminished, reflecting a trend towards more global and comparative analyses. - Formalism in Literary Critique:
