A significant emphasis is placed on understanding literature within its socio-political environments, particularly in the context of German history and its cultural relations with other nations, such as Turkey. - Linguistic Analysis:

Trending and Emerging

There is a noticeable increase in research exploring Turkish-German cultural relations, indicating a growing interest in intercultural dialogue and its representation in literature. - The Role of the Body and Corporeality in Literature:
Recent works emphasize the significance of corporeal themes, examining how bodies and physicality are represented in literature, which aligns with contemporary discussions in feminist and queer theories. - Narrative Strategies and Hybrid Forms:

Papers dedicated to basic language teaching methodologies or simple linguistic structures have diminished, indicating a shift toward more complex and contextually rich analyses. - Purely Theoretical Literary Criticism:
