Trending and Emerging
- Digital Humanities and Visual Culture:
There is a growing interest in the intersection of digital humanities and visual culture, as seen in the exploration of contemporary Spanish visual culture and its pedagogical implications. - Flamenco and Modern Identity:
The examination of flamenco as a cultural phenomenon, particularly through the lens of artists like Rosalía, showcases an emerging trend of analyzing traditional art forms in relation to modern identities and global commodification. - Racial and Ethnic Stereotypes:
An increasing focus on racial and ethnic stereotypes in literature reflects a broader societal conversation about representation, identity, and power dynamics, indicating a commitment to social justice themes. - Environmental and Ecological Narratives:
Emerging discussions on ecological narratives and environmental justice indicate a trend towards understanding literature as a means to engage with pressing global issues. - Transnational and Diasporic Studies:
The journal is increasingly publishing works that investigate transnational identities and diasporic experiences, highlighting the complexities of migration and cultural exchange.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Literary Canon:
There seems to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional literary canon studies, with fewer papers focusing solely on canonical texts without intersection with contemporary social issues or other disciplines. - Historical Literary Criticism:
Research that strictly adheres to historical literary criticism, without incorporating modern theoretical frameworks or contemporary relevance, is less frequently published. - Monolithic Cultural Narratives:
The exploration of singular, monolithic cultural narratives is declining, as the journal increasingly favors multifaceted and intersectional analyses that reflect diverse voices and experiences.
