Literary notes about affiliation (AI summary)
In literature, “affiliation” often serves as a nuanced term to denote various forms of connection, membership, or association, whether among individuals, groups, or abstract ideas. It can reference formal ties, such as a political party membership ([1], [2], [3], [4]), or denote a more abstract or inherited relationship, as seen in discussions of religious or cultural bonds ([5], [6], [7]). Authors also employ the term to indicate intentional associations within organizations or scholarly communities ([8], [9], [10]), while at times exploring the genealogical or natural connections among species and ideas ([11], [12], [13]). Thus, “affiliation” is used flexibly to highlight the varied and often complex links that bind entities together in both concrete and metaphorical contexts ([14], [15], [16]).
