Features: With the development of globalization, the intrinsic role of capital or the operation of the market economy and capital is influencing the order of the world economy and the composition of culture. In the face of this situation, critical theory is increasingly adopting a critical stance, with some even carrying a strong political hue. Therefore, some conservative traditionalists lament that literary studies have been reduced to a branch of political science and social sciences, with the analysis of texts overly focused on non-aesthetic factors such as race, class, gender, imperialism, or colonialism.
