Trending and Emerging
- Christian Symbolism and Theology:
There is an increasing focus on Christian themes and symbols in literature, reflecting a broader interest in how religious narratives shape literary forms and character development. - Chronotope and Space-Time Analysis:
Scholars are increasingly applying Bakhtinian concepts of chronotope to study how time and space are represented in literary texts, revealing deeper connections between narrative structure and historical context. - Cultural Memory and Identity:
Recent works emphasize the role of literature in constructing cultural memory and identity, particularly in relation to historical trauma and national narratives. - Gender Studies and Representation:

Declining or Waning
- Focus on Non-Russian Literature:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies that focus on non-Russian literary works or comparisons, as the journal increasingly prioritizes Russian literature and its specific contexts. - Historical Biographies:
The exploration of biographical narratives related to authors has diminished, suggesting a shift towards more thematic and analytical approaches rather than biographical analyses. - Folklore Studies:
While folklore has been a significant area of interest, its representation in recent publications has waned, possibly due to a growing focus on modern literary forms and theoretical interpretations. - Psychological Criticism:
The psychological analysis of characters and narratives, which was once a prominent theme, has seen a decrease, indicating a shift towards historical and cultural contexts instead. - Rhetorical Analysis:
