Literary notes about DOMAIN (AI summary)
The term "domain" in literature encompasses a wide range of meanings, shifting from tangible territories to abstract spheres of thought. In many works, it is used to evoke areas of power or residence—from ghostly kingdoms and vast natural territories [1, 2, 3] to territories of myth and celestial rule [4, 5]. At the same time, authors employ the word to denote conceptual realms such as the fields of memory, justice, or thought, imbuing it with philosophical and strategic nuances [6, 7, 8]. Moreover, in more modern contexts the term has been adapted to describe virtual or technical spaces, reflecting the evolving landscape of language in a digital age [9, 10, 11].
