estados de cuestión de un tema

Social Sciences
History
Historiography
It's a type of academic paper - maybe particularly Spanish - and from my research it sounds very like what we call a literature review. I was wondering if there are any other terms for it?
"Los demás géneros –papers, estados de cuestión , manuales universitarios, ensayos teóricos, documentales, wikipedia–son igualmente nobles y necesarios, porque cada uno cumple su propia función."

literature review
Combining the evidence provided by Juan Arturo Blackmore (whose back-to-back Spanish and English resources in the lists with grey background on the first page use these terms) and the comments of Alex Ossa, Phil Goddard, and Yvonne Gallagher. Merely standing on the shoulders of giants to facilitate a better Proz.com entry ;)

Comment: "I'm going with this because on reflection it works best in my context, but I do think in other contexts Lydia's more literal suggestion would also be fine. "

a theme state of art
“State of the art (sometimes cutting edge) refers to the highest level of general development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field achieved at a particular time. It also refers to such a level of development reached at any particular time as a result of the common methodologies employed at the time.”

Alex Ossa
: I disagree w/Yvonne: 'estado de (la) cuestion' does indeed mean 'state of the art' as in what's the most up-to-date situation. However it's not a good fit in academic writing. 'Literature review' as suggested by David himself is a significantly better fit

I know it sounds literal but I believe it's what it means.

I agree and stated so in my comments. I had never heard it before either but asked a friend who teaches English Lit at Loyola and he confirmed the term is of common use. Saludos, Yvonne!
