As we were working on this our second special issue on translation, Arab world English Journal (AWEJ) received two invitations related directly to the theme of translation. Dr. Ali Bin Tamim, Secretary General of the Sheikh Zayed Book Award and Director of Kalima Project invited us to attend the ceremony of Sheikh Zayed Book Award and Abu Dhabi 2nd International Translation Conference on 25-28 April 2013. On her part Dr. Issy Yuliasri, Chair of the English Department at Semarang State University, Indonesia similarly invited us to attend the regional workshop of International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) on 25 - 27 March 2013. We would like to seize this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to both of our dear colleagues for their generous invitations. As the review process was already underway for the forthcoming issue of AWEJ, we were not able to consider papers to these two conferences for this special edition. We hope to publish some in later editions. Historically, Arabs have paid a special and considerable attention to the challenges of translation. There are many eras in the Arab history which have witnessed a flourishing in the art of translation. We would like to mention two of the translation centers which made major contributions to the cross-cultural and linguistic challenges of translating between Arab and non Arab civilizations. The first one is the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikmah or Dar Al Hikmah in Arabic) a famous translation institute and research center established in Abbasid era (Baghdad, Iraq). It was first established by Abbasid caliph Al Ma’mun (786 – 833) and was responsible for translating many Greek classics and others into Arabic. Bayt al-Hikmah attracted scholars from all over the world, and from many cultures and religions. The second center is the School of Translators of Toledo (12th and 13th centuries) involving the group of scholars who worked together in Toledo (Spain) to translate many of the philosophical and scientific works from Arabic and Greek amongst other classic languages. The School played a significance role in the transfer of knowledge from Greek and Arabic and vise versa. Some Arab World English Journal www.awej.org 3 ISSN: 2229-9327 AWEJ Special issue on Translation No. (2) 2013 Is Kalima Project a New Arab Think Tank/ Intellectual Hub? Al-Zubaidi selected Arabic literature was translated into Latin. This was besides a huge number of classical works of ancient authors translated into Arabic. The Toledo school attracted and gathered scholars from around the world especially Europe regardless of race, religion and nationality. Historians and researchers consider Dar Al Hikmah and School of Translators of Toledo as 'think tanks' of their time contributing much to the scientific advancement and growth of knowledge in the humanities around the world. In the last few decades we have noted many attempts by different official institutes, ministries, universities research centers, organizations, publishers and even individuals in several Arab courtiers, to launch translation projects, programs, or centers. None of these efforts has reached the level of the above mentioned two “giant” projects, and we are not yet in a position to account or evaluate these attempts. However, a special mention may be made to the Abu Dhabi project. The Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) has revealed some statistics about their project. They show that Kilama has translated 218 selected books in literature, 163 books under the category of children and youngsters, 54 in the social sciences and many other books in various categories. It has translated into Arabic more than 770 books in literature and across the different fields of science from 13 languages. Kalima is a project which aims at reviving the art of translation across the world. Kalima translates and publishes more than 100 selected books in Arabic each year. During the Second International Translation Conference, Kalima has brought the translation theories into practice by organizing four workshops lasting for two days and followed by panel discussions by experts, participants, audience of interest and even mass media representatives. Sixty professional translators and languages academic experts from twenty countries participated in the Conference. It was really a unique new experience in which the experts shared their feedback of the two days workshops with participants, audiences and the media to draw out commendations in public for the upcoming conference. Most of the audience got the clear message that the leaders of the Kalima project are ready and open to collaboration. This was well received by our colleagues.To sum up, we could say that when Abu Dhabi launched its ambition project Kilama, it has in effect helped to undermine barriers of fears which have often been associated with the concept of translation in the Arab world the past few centuries. This is a unique and ambitious cultural project which has attracted many Arab and international intellectuals. The remain questions are: is Kilama project a new Arab “think tank” or an intellectual hub in our digital age? Could we compare it with Dar Al-Hikma and school of Toledo for Translation? The coming years will provide an answer.

    Plenary Talks XXIst Century Perspectives on the Micro & Macro Worlds Jamal Mimouni1 1 Laboratoire de Physique Mathématique et Subatomique, Constantine-1 University e-mail: [email protected] We present a broad perspective on our (Early) XXIth century understanding of both the macro and micro worlds, and whether the dream embodied in the symbolism of Glashow’s snake has been implemented to some degree or recessed away. Do we have a unified vision of the world at those extreme scales? What about the status of that «21 st century» theory «that fell accidentally into the 20th century.” to quote E.Witten, and which is the «ideological» cement of very powerful aspiring-to-be paradigms like Cosmic Inflation, Multiverses, black holes… as well as the inspiration of most pre-Big Bang theories. There is no question that the failure of physics to solve those big puzzles left over from XXth century physics is really stemming from the limitations of experimental particle physics as it stumbles on the «not high enough» energy limit of present day colliders which has put every beyond the Standard Model theory basically on hold. The hints we get from experiments are too feeble and we can’t probe a high enough mass region where are possibly lurking other non-standard gauge bosons and Higgs, not talking about the SUSY zoo, ED particles and other exotic brands. Thus the great hope pinned on the UHE Cosmic Rays for their capability to cross the many orders of magnitude energy gap and reach for the physics of cosmic accelerators and whatever they might be spitting out of new exotic massive particles.

Second!Reader!! ii ABSTRACT Author: Natalie Sullivan Title: Writing Arabizi: Orthographic Variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic on Twitter Supervising Professors: Dr. Barbara Bullock, Dr. John Huehnergard How does technology influence the script in which a language is written? Over the past few decades, a new form of writing has emerged across the Arab world. Known as Arabizi, it is a type of Romanized Arabic that uses Latin characters instead of Arabic script. It is mainly used by youth in technology-related contexts such as social media and texting, and has made many older Arabic speakers fear that more standard forms of Arabic may be in danger because of its use. Prior work on Arabizi suggests that although it is used frequently on social media, its orthography is not yet standardized (Palfreyman and Khalil, 2003; Abdel-Ghaffar et al., 2011). Therefore, this thesis aimed to examine orthographic variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic, which has rarely been studied as a Romanized dialect. It was interested in how often Arabizi is used on Twitter in Lebanon and the extent of its orthographic variation. Using Twitter data collected from Beirut, tweets were analyzed to discover the most common orthographic variants in Arabizi for each Arabic letter, as well as the overall rate of Arabizi use. Results show that Arabizi was not used as frequently as hypothesized on Twitter, probably because of its low prestige and increased globalization.

  • Is There a Turkish Islam? the Emergence of Convergence and Consensus
    Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, Vol. 24, No. 2, October 2004 Is There a Turkish Islam? The Emergence of Convergence and Consensus M. HAKAN YAVUZ Abstract This paper attempts to demonstrate that it is not only the universal principles of Islam that ground our everyday actions, but also the practical and immediate issues which we confront. Although Islam provides a universal set of principles to make life meaningful, I shall argue that these principles are vernacularized and localized in specific narratives. By offering seven diverse zones of Islam, I seek to bring this critical and dynamic distance into the forefront to understand that there is no universal model or a single highway to salvation but, instead, there are multiple ways of being and becoming a Muslim. In the first part of the paper, I seek to disaggregate the concept of ‘Islamic or Muslim world’ by identifying seven diverse competing and conflicting ‘zones’ of political Islam, each characterized by their conversion pattern, colonial legacy, type of nationalism and by the state–society relations and political economy that factor into these evolving separate zones. At the same time and under certain political conditions, one also sees the emergence of consensus and similar ‘public opinion’ across zones on various issues. After identifying the features of three of the seven zones (Arab, Persian and Turkish), the paper focuses on Sufism, the frontier legacy of the Ottoman state, and on the tax-based economy and the expanding political opportunity spaces, to account for the construc- tion of Islamic knowledge and practices in the Turkish zone.

For two millennia the Syriac language was a symbol of identity among its Christian communities. Religious disputes in the Byzantine era produced not only doctrinal rivalries but also linguistic differences. Throughout the Islamic era, the Syriac language remained the language of the majority despite.Arabic hegemony.
