Literary notes about global (AI summary)

The word "global" is employed in literature to convey a sense of worldwide interconnectedness and influence across diverse contexts. For instance, in economic discussions, it highlights expansive phenomena such as worldwide financial crises and slowdowns ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]), while in technological and communication realms it underscores the universal reach of networks and online systems ([8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]). In some texts the term is used to evoke a collective human or cultural arena—as seen in depictions of international collaboration and the "global village" concept ([14], [15], [16], [17]). Authors even extend "global" to the imaginative and metaphorical, as when Jules Verne refers to the Earth’s uninhabitable corners as "global haunts" ([18]) or when spiritual imagery emerges in descriptions of fading global outlines ([19]). Thus, "global" functions as a versatile term, bridging economic analysis, technological innovation, cultural exchange, and imaginative expression throughout literary works.
