EMERGING RESEARCH TRENDS HIGHLIGHTING THEIMPORTANCE OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH19.IN ENGLISH LITERATURE

The multidisciplinary approach in research is not an innovation of the present era; its roots can be traced back to earlier intellectual traditions. For a considerable period, however, it was presumed that such an approach belonged exclusively to the domains of science and technology. The rapid transformations in contemporary research practices have challenged this assumption, leading to new frameworks and methodologies that transcend disciplinary boundaries. The humanities and social sciences, alongside other knowledge systems, have increasingly embraced multidisciplinary perspectives, thereby redefining the scope and direction of scholarly inquiry.
