The Journal of Digital Islamicate Research (JDIR) is a peer-reviewed journal covering the field of Middle Eastern and Islamicate Digital Humanities (DH). It aspires to adjust the computational, visualization and big data methods for the exploration of contemporary and historical cultures (also known as Cultural Analytics, CA) to the emerging field of Middle Eastern and Islamic Digital Humanities, and apply these methods to it. This would enhance the distant and close readings of massive amounts of cultural data (written material, as well as visuals and audio) in Middle Eastern languages in order to derive culturally-relevant insights from it. The Journal also aims to promote the study of Arabic-language and other Arabic-script DH work (e.g., Persian, Ottoman, Urdu), and non-Muslim DH in Islamicate lands (e.g. the Geniza researchers that are moving into DH), in addition to Islamicate materials that are digital-born or digitally-reformatted. This will bring forth innovative tools and develop new technical research methods for a refreshing analysis of Middle Eastern and Islamic languages, literatures, cultures, and history in a computer-supported way. The Journal is a leading initiative in the Digital Humanities of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies that provides an online platform for the cross fertilization of different academic traditions, fields, and disciplines.
مجلة البحوث الإسلامية الرقمية مجلة محكمة تغطي الإنسانيات الرقمية في مجال الدراسات الشرق أوسطية والإسلامية. وهي تطمح إلى الإفادة من الأدوات الحاسوبية التي تطبق عدة مناهج وتقنيات (منها معالجة اللغة البشرية وتحليل شبكات الاتصال وإعداد التقنيات البصرية واستخراج البيانات) في دراسة المكونات الثقافية بطريقة مفيدة للأبحاث في العلوم الإنسانية ولاستكشاف الثقافات المعاصرة والقديمة (وهو المبحث الأكاديمي الموسوم بالتحليل الثقافي). وهذا من شأنه أن يعمق القراءات الآلية والبشرية لكميات هائلة من المنتجات الثقافية (المواد المكتوبة والمرئية والصوتية) باللغات الشرق أوسطية لاستخلاص رؤى ثقافيّة أصيلة وجديدة من خلالها. وتهدف المجلة كذلك إلى تعزيز دراسة اللغة العربية وغيرها من المنتجات الثقافية المكتوبة بالحروف العربية (كالفارسية والتركية العثمانية والأردية)، والمنتجات المتعلقة بغير المسلمين في الأراضي الإسلامية (هذا يشمل على سبيل المثال الدراسات البحثية حول وثائق الجينيزا التي تتحول إلى الإنسانيات الرقمية)، بالإضافة إلى المواد الإسلامية التي ولدت رقميًا أو أعيد تنسيقها رقميًا. وبذلك تسهم المجلة في تقديم أدوات مبتكرة وتطوير طرق بحث تقنية جديدة تساعد في تقديم تحليلات رصينة للغات الشرق الأوسطية والإسلامية والآداب والثقافات والتاريخ بطريقة مدعومة حاسوبيا. وبذا تمثل المجلة مبادرة رائدة في الإنسانيات الرقمية في مجال الدراسات الشرق أوسطية والإسلامية، إلى جانب طرح منصة عبر الإنترنت لإحداث تلاقح وتمازج ما بين الحقول البحثية والمجالات الأكاديمية المختلفة. تُعنى المجلة بنشر مقالاتٍ باللُّغة العربية أو باللُّغة الإنجليزية.

From Data to Knowledge: Mapping Arab/Islamicate Studies through Cultural Analytics
A Special Issue for the Journal of Digital Islamicate Research (Brill)
The field of Cultural Analytics (CA) studies massive amounts of cultural data (books, images, newspapers, literature, etc.) in order to derive culturally-relevant insights from them. It applies various methods and techniques (natural language processing, network analysis, visualization, and data mining) to cultural components in a manner that makes them useful for humanities research. This Special Issue focuses on issues and challenges pertaining to the praxis of Digital Humanities (DH) in non-Western geographical contexts, countries, and cultures, especially, though without being limited to, Arabic. This multidisciplinary special issue will bring together world-renowned experts and their unique expertise and skills in the field of Digital Humanities with the aim of advancing the current state of knowledge for all researchers in non-Western literature, culture, media, arts, history, linguistics, political science, and sociology. Samples of their work under DH projects will be presented to map out the revolutionary trends and fluctuations in Arabic Digital Humanities, a matter which puts us in a better position to understand this ongoing phenomenon. All in all, this special issue will explore all digital approaches applied to Arabic and other Islamicate languages including text mining and computational analysis, as well as network and spatial analysis of non-Western social, political and historical transformations. We are especially interested in the development of Digital Humanities tools and platforms designed for the distinctive challenges of Arabic studies scholarship.
Contributions are welcome based on the originality and strength of the work and its specific relevance to the themes of the special issue. This issue will help to initiate an inquiry that will further enhance our commitment to knowledge dissemination and to provide researchers in Arab universities with the needed resources to share their intellectual contributions and engage western academia in an enriching conversation about Arabic Digital Humanities.
Submissions
We invite submissions which include scholarly inquiry into uses of digital technologies with Arabic and Islamicate languages; digital humanities and cultural analytics projects that focus on Arab/Muslim history and culture; Islam and digital theory; the intersection of Arab studies and digital humanities; digital tools and artifacts; Arabic/Islamicate digital humanities and memory; social media and Arab/Muslim activism/movements, etc. The special issue also invites submissions which include scholarly inquiry into Arab diasporic uses of digital technologies.
Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Computational literary studies, literary text mining and network analysis
• Cultural Analytics for Modern Arab/Islamicate Worlds
• Spatial analysis and mapping of Arabic/Islamicate languages
• DH and the epistemologies of the Arab/Muslim World
• DH and Arab/Muslim critical perspectives
• DH and cultural criticism
• DH and Activism
• Islam and digital theory
• Critique of DH
• Postcolonial DH
• Evaluating digital scholarship in the Arabic/Islamicate context
• Digital hegemonies
• DH and alternative methodologies
• Technical challenges of DH with non-anglophone and non-Latin material
• DH and local communities
• DH and intercultural problems
• DH and multilingualism
• DH and social/political change in the Arab/Muslim World
• DH and citizen-driven innovation from the Arab world
• DH and big data from the Arab world
• DH and digital media
• DH and machine translation
