Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article examines the main genre features of Kazakhstani writer Lilya Kalaus’s blogs, which have been published as a collection titled The Hieroglyph of Life, from the perspective of seriality. It explores how artistic genres are evolving under the influence of media space and adapting to new models of reader perception. These transformations are proposed to be directly linked to the broader cultural shifts driven by the internet. The theoretical significance of this study lies in its effort to analyse the genre of blogs through the lens of serial text, which carries unique aesthetic and ideological implications. The findings and material presented in this paper are intended to contribute to further research on literary cycles (serials), especially given the growing interest in this genre.
