There is a notable increase in publications focusing on themes of memory and trauma, particularly in the context of historical events such as the Spanish Civil War and Franco's repression, highlighting literature's role in processing collective and individual experiences. - Interdisciplinary Approaches to Literature:
The journal is increasingly publishing works that adopt interdisciplinary methodologies, combining literary analysis with insights from psychology, sociology, and cultural studies to explore complex themes, such as identity and cultural memory. - Exploration of Gender and Identity:

The journal has seen a reduction in articles that strictly apply classical literary theories, such as formalism or structuralism, as contemporary literary criticism increasingly favors more diverse and inclusive theoretical frameworks. - Regional Studies with Limited Scope:
Studies that focus narrowly on specific regional literatures without connecting them to broader cultural or transnational contexts appear to be less frequent, indicating a shift towards more globalized literary discussions. - Conventional Genre Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in conventional genre studies that do not engage with contemporary interpretations or cross-genre influences, as the journal's scope expands to embrace hybrid forms and innovative narrative techniques. - Static Author Studies:
The journal has moved away from static studies centered solely on individual authors without consideration of their works' intertextuality or socio-cultural implications, reflecting a broader trend towards relational and contextual literary analysis.
