Literary notes about Inclusion (AI summary)

The term “inclusion” in literature is employed to express the act of incorporating or embracing elements—be they individuals, ideas, or textual segments—into a larger framework. Authors invoke the word to signal both physical membership and abstract integration; for example, it can denote the admittance of people into an esteemed institution as in discussions of academies [1], while in other contexts it refers to the addition of content that enriches a text’s overall meaning [2, 3]. Furthermore, “inclusion” is sometimes used to critique or highlight socio-political practices, such as debates over the presence or absence of certain groups in societal or governmental assemblages [4, 5, 6]. This multifaceted use underscores its role as a bridge connecting parts to a cohesive whole.
