Literary notes about Utilization (AI summary)
In literature, "utilization" appears in a remarkably diverse range of contexts, serving as both a literal descriptor of practical processes and a metaphor for the effective use of intangible resources. Authors apply it to depict concrete actions—such as the detailed handling of ingredients in ancient culinary texts [1] or the intensive use of physical space in architectural development [2]—as well as to evoke strategic efficiency in managing human attributes, like the measured deployment of manpower in educational and social theories [3]. It can also capture the ephemeral yet decisive use of time, as in the rapid judgment where every second counts [4], or the subtle harnessing of emotions that directs behavior [5]. This breadth of application underscores the term’s ability to bridge material and conceptual domains within various literary and scholarly discourses.
