There is a decline in articles focusing solely on historical narratives that do not connect to present-day issues, indicating a shift towards research that directly addresses current social challenges. - Static Cultural Identity Studies:
Research that addresses cultural identities in a static manner, without considering their dynamic and evolving nature, has become less common, reflecting a trend towards more fluid and intersectional approaches. - Conventional Gender Studies:
