Abstract: In "Comparative Literature, Variation Theory, and a New Construction of World Literature(s)" Wang Chao discusses Shunqing Cao's "variation theory" as a framework in the discipline of comparative literature and its applicability for a new
construction of world literature(s). Wang argues that Goethe's concept of world literature can be expanded and developed for a new construction of the idea of world literature(s). Wang's principal argument is that comparative literature in today's heterogeneity and cross-cultural
variabilities can be revived with the notions of variation and its connecting aspect of world literature. Both variation theory and perspectives of the concept of "new world literature" are based in recent insights in comparative literature, on variations of literary exchange, on
interpretation in crosscivilization literary circulation, translation, and production. Wang proposes that these views broaden and adjust the boundary of comparability, thus injecting much-needed vitality into comparative literature and world literature research.

PurposeThe aim of this work is to identify and analyze the main areas on which researchers have focused in relation to intellectual capital (IC) and its management in the university context. This review will also analyze how these researchers carried out their work to understand future research directions.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis was conducted through a structured literature review (SLR) of 866 research contributions (articles, book chapters and books). An analysis of the content was performed to identify the main topics discussed and to ascertain how these studies were carried out.FindingsThis paper highlights how the management of knowledge resources (as IC) has been discussed in the literature, focusing specifically on how universities report the information, which is fundamental for allowing stakeholders to understand the value created by these kinds of organizations.Research limitations/implicationsThe manual analysis of the results of the SLR can be considered a limitation of this work. Another limitation of the work is represented by the use of only one database.Originality/valueThis SLR makes several useful contributions for both practitioners and scholars. First, it suggests strengthening the relationship with the external stakeholders to assure the survival of universities. Second, it enables others to replicate scientific research, thanks to its clear and transparent process. It also allows scholars to identify which issues their work should address, as well as suggesting possible future research areas.

Today, the national social science features fast-paced studies on the theory of mediation. However, the branch status of this area is still obscure, which affects the quality of research. The paper explores various approaches to the definition of this status with a critical eye. Particular attention is paid to the thesis on the interdisciplinarity of the mediation theory. The author shows the consequences of classifying the mediation theory as an interdisciplinary branch. It is also troublesome, from the author's point of view, to refer mediation purely to law. Mediation refers to phenomena that originate from social technologies ordering social relations and removing social conflicts. Only sociology and history can become the foundation of a new scientific branch. However, the mediation theory must first pass the stage of disciplinary constitutionalization, since its close interaction with many modern branches of knowledge would mean dissolution in them.

AbstractFor many organizations, implementing knowledge management (KM) is a challenge. With the aim of deriving insights for guiding future research in KM implementation, this systematic literature review, conducted on October 28, 2023, using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, examined 174 articles from 108 journals. The search, employing the terms ((framework or "maturity model" or implementation) and "knowledge management"), disregarded time constraints. The information extracted included journal details, authors, authors' countries, number of authors, research method, objectives, dimensions of frameworks or maturity models, and suggestions for future research. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were applied to the collected data, revealing that the 174 articles involved 432 authors and were distributed across 108 journals. Key findings indicate: (a) a need for more research into strategies, practices, and technology for aiding KM implementation and evaluation; and (b) the potential for testing models and frameworks in diverse contexts (country, sector, and size). In response to the analysis, a KM implementation roadmap was formulated, encompassing five stages: diagnosis, design, implementation, implementation improvement, and evaluation. This study enhances academic understanding by highlighting pertinent topics in KM implementation and identifying avenues for further investigation.

The article is devoted to investigation of the status of theoretical knowledge in the humanities. The author emphasizes that principle of «theoretical anarchism» being developed by many philosophers, in particular by G. von Wright comes into conflict with the fact of existing objective laws, studied by the humanities. The author also points at the differences between the concept of «law» in natural sciences and in the humanities. Alternative ways of getting new knowledge in social and humanitarian spheres are also discussed. The main conclusion of the article: theoretical generalization is the only way of receiving knowledge in social sciences and the humanities.

This research explained Indonesian literature in traditional knowledge perspective in narative form. This research used Indonesian novels which have traditional knowledge as data source. This studies used qualitative method with descriptive techniques (words, phrases, and sentences). The result showed that there are two segments of traditional knowledge in Indonesian literature. First, traditional knowledge about boat intricacies (boat history, how to make boat, and tree types for boat). Second, traditional knowledge about mushrooms (mushroom history, treatment using mushroom, and mushroom as gods). These showed that Indonesian literature is like other universal literature that raises traditional knowledge as an alternative knowledge for modern society.

The primary aim of Knowing Faith is to uncover the intervention of literary texts and approaches in a wider conversation about religious knowledge: why we need it, how to get there, where to stop, and how to recognise it once it has been attained. Its relative freedom from specialised disciplinary investments allows a literary lens to bring into focus the relatively elusive strands of thinking about belief, knowledge and salvation, probing the particulars of affect implicit in the generalities of doctrine. The essays in this volume collectively probe the dynamic between literary form, religious faith and the process, psychology and ethics of knowing in early modern England. Addressing both the poetics of theological texts and literary treatments of theological matter, they stretch from the Reformation to the early Enlightenment, and cover a variety of themes ranging across religious hermeneutics, rhetoric and controversy, the role of the senses, and the entanglement of justice, ethics and practical theology. The book should appeal to scholars of early modern literature and culture, theologians and historians of religion, and general readers with a broad interest in Renaissance cultures of knowing.
