Yet, the Forum is also mindful that however far away we trek beyond established frontiers, we must still ensure our contact with the core of our discipline, that of traditional forms of the printed text. For, if we dismiss them from our view, we run the risk of inadvertently devaluing the worth of literary fiction and its attendant academic scholarship. As such, the Forum also incorporates articles that engage with contemporary theater and novels and their inherent validity in reflecting the socio-political concerns of our world, emphasizing that these will never lose their currency however much the arena changes. 2024-12-19T06:05:21Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/kk/vol1/iss33/19 info:doi/10.13185/1656-152x.1811 https://archium.ateneo.edu/context/kk/article/1811/viewcontent/KK_2033_2C_202019_2C_20_26_2034_2C_202020_2020_20Forum_20Kritika_20on_20the_20Shifting_20Frontiers_20of_20Literary_20Studies_20in_20the_20Twenty_First_20Century_20__20Pillai_2C_20Perry.pdf Kritika Kultura Archīum Ateneo eclectic frameworks; frontiers; literary scholarship; multimodality; narratives
