Trending and Emerging
- Cultural Memory and Identity:
Recent publications increasingly focus on themes of cultural memory and national identity, exploring how literature and media shape collective memories in post-Soviet contexts. - Transnational and Postcolonial Perspectives:
There is a growing interest in transnational studies and postcolonial critiques, examining the intersections of Slavic cultures with global narratives and colonial histories. - Digital Humanities in Slavic Studies:
Emerging methodologies from the digital humanities are being incorporated, highlighting the use of digital tools for linguistic analysis, literary criticism, and cultural studies. - Environmental Literature and Ecocriticism:
A new trend towards ecocriticism is evident, with scholars analyzing literary representations of nature and environmental issues in Slavic contexts. - Intermedial Studies:
The journal is increasingly publishing research on intermediality, exploring how different media forms (such as film, literature, and visual arts) interact and influence each other within Slavic cultures.
Declining or Waning
- Post-Communist Literature:
While the journal previously featured a robust exploration of post-communist narratives, recent publications suggest a diminishing focus on this theme, possibly due to the evolving socio-political landscape in post-communist countries. - Historical Linguistics:
Research specifically dedicated to historical linguistics appears to be less prevalent, as the journal shifts towards contemporary sociolinguistic studies and applications of linguistic theory. - Regional Studies of Lesser-Known Slavic Languages:
There is a noticeable reduction in the examination of lesser-known Slavic languages and their regional literatures, as the journal's focus broadens towards more mainstream cultural narratives. - Traditional Folklore Studies:
The exploration of traditional folklore themes has decreased, possibly reflecting a broader trend in academia that favors contemporary cultural phenomena over historical folklore. - Classic Literary Studies:
Analysis of classic Slavic literature, while still present, is less prominent compared to contemporary literary studies, indicating a shift towards modern interpretations and relevance.
