Recent publications explore the intersection of literature with social movements, particularly those addressing issues of violence, migration, and identity, demonstrating a commitment to literature as a vehicle for social critique. - Intertextuality and Adaptation:
A rising interest in intertextuality and the adaptation of literary works across different media suggests a trend towards examining how texts converse with one another and their cultural contexts. - Feminist and Gender Studies:

Declining or Waning

Research centered on colonial literature has diminished, possibly indicating a broader focus on postcolonial and decolonial perspectives that prioritize contemporary indigenous narratives. - Gender Studies in Isolation:
