Centre for Kurdish Studies
Centre for Kurdish Studies Centre for Kurdish Studies anks to Professor Michael M Gunter of Tennessee Technological University for permission to use this image. Living over a territory divided between Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and the former Soviet Union, and with an active international diaspora, the Kurds are the largest stateless nation in the world, and the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. They inhabit a strategic area, once a region of contact between the Ottoman, Persian and Russian empires, and later a contested border zone between modern nation-states. Although they are ethnically, linguistically, and culturally distinct from the majority populations of the nation-states where they live, they are often consigned to a peripheral role in Turkish, Arab or Iranian studies. Our focus on Kurdish Studies places the Kurds at the centre of our research and offers a chance to consider Kurdish society, culture and politics holistically in all its complexity and variation, across and within established nation- states and the global diaspora community. Exeter is the only British university to have developed a strong research focus in the field of Kurdish Studies. As such, we are the leading centre of research in the field in the UK, and one of the global centres of excellence. The Centre for Kurdish Studies has recently benefited from generous donations from the Ibrahim Ahmed Foundation, the Prime Minister’s Office of the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the President’s Office of Iraq. These gifts have enabled us to expand our staff base and our research and teaching activities. We now offer the following degrees: • PhD in Kurdish Studies A multi-discplinary programme covering Social Science, Political Science, and Humanities and Arts disciplines. -
Making Sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: a Social Movement Perspective
\ WORKING PAPER 6\ 2017 Making sense of Daesh in Afghanistan: A social movement perspective Katja Mielke \ BICC Nick Miszak \ TLO Joint publication by \ WORKING PAPER 6 \ 2017 MAKING SENSE OF DAESH IN AFGHANISTAN: A SOCIAL MOVEMENT PERSPECTIVE \ K. MIELKE & N. MISZAK SUMMARY So-called Islamic State (IS or Daesh) in Iraq and Syria is widely interpreted as a terrorist phenomenon. The proclamation in late January 2015 of a Wilayat Kho- rasan, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan, as an IS branch is commonly interpreted as a manifestation of Daesh's global ambition to erect an Islamic caliphate. Its expansion implies hierarchical order, command structures and financial flows as well as a transnational mobility of fighters, arms and recruits between Syria and Iraq, on the one hand, and Afghanistan–Pakistan, on the other. In this Working Paper, we take a (new) social movement perspective to investigate the processes and underlying dynamics of Daesh’s emergence in different parts of the country. By employing social movement concepts, such as opportunity structures, coalition-building, resource mobilization and framing, we disentangle the different types of resource mobilization and long-term conflicts that have merged into the phenomenon of Daesh in Afghanistan. In dialogue with other approaches to terrorism studies as well as peace, civil war and security studies, our analysis focuses on relations and interactions among various actors in the Afghan-Pakistan region and their translocal networks. The insight builds on a ten-month fieldwork-based research project conducted in four regions—east, west, north-east and north Afghanistan—during 2016. We find that Daesh in Afghanistan is a context-specific phenomenon that manifests differently in the various regions across the country and is embedded in a long- term transformation of the religious, cultural and political landscape in the cross-border region of Afghanistan–Pakistan. -
Lament of Ahmad Khani: a Study of the Historical Struggle of the Kurds for an Independent Kurdistan
Lament of Ahmad Khani: A Study of the Historical Struggle of the Kurds for an Independent Kurdistan Erik Novak Department of Political Science Villanova University The Kurdish poet Sheikmous Hasan, better known as Cigerxwin, wrote these words as part of his much larger work, Who Am I? while living in exile in Sweden. “I am the proud Kurd, the enemies’ enemy, the friend of peace-loving ones. I am of noble race, not wild as they claim. My mighty ancestors were free people. Like them I want to be free and that is why I fight, for the enemy won’t leave in peace and I don’t want to be forever oppressed.”1 Although Hasan, who died in 1984, was a modern voice for Kurdish nationalism, he is merely one of a chorus of Kurds reaching back centuries crying out for a free and independent Kurdish state, unofficially named Kurdistan. Although the concept of nationalism is common today, the cries of the Kurds for their own state reach back centuries, the first written example coming from the Kurdish poet Ahmad Khani in his national epic Mem-o-Zin in 1695. Mem-o-Zin actually predates the French Revolution of 1789, which is often thought to be the true beginning of the concept of a national state. Despite having conceived of nationalism for the Kurds nearly a century ahead of France and the rest of Western Europe, the Kurds lack a state of their own. What are the origins of Kurdish nationalist thought and how has it evolved over the years? To answer this question, we will track the evolution of Kurdish nationalist thought from its origins during the Ottoman Empire, 1 through World War I and up to the present by looking at the three successor states of the Ottoman Empire that contain the largest Kurdish populations: Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. -

The Introduction 1.1. Erbil − the past and the present (the general information about Erbil) Erbil is the most ancient city in the history, and one of the oldest towns in the world that have been continuously inhabited 1. Erbil was the capital of an ancient northern Mesopotamian province and today is a capital of the federal Kurdistan Region. It is situated approximately 350 kilometers north of Baghdad. For a long period of time, this city, which is famous for its great civilization, defended itself and its citadel from the barbarian invaders 2. Erbil has been the center of culture and education in the region. Many famous scientists, historians and leaders were born in the city of the Erbil, such as: 1. Sultan Muzaffar ad-Din Kokburi (1163-1232) "e brother-in-law of Salahaddin, made Erbil his capital from 1190 until 1232 and constructed several buildings that can still be seen at the foot of the upper town 3. 1 M.

Towards Kurdish Text to Sign Translation
Proceedings of the 9th Workshop on the Representation and Processing of Sign Languages, pages 117–122 Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC 2020), Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Towards Kurdish Text to Sign Translation Zina Kamal, Hossein Hassani University of Kurdistan Hewlêr, University of Kurdistan Hewlêr Kurdistan Region - Iraq, Kurdistan Region - Iraq {z.kamal3, hosseinh}@ukh.edu.krd Abstract The resources and technologies for sign language processing of resourceful languages are emerging, while the low-resource languages are falling behind. Kurdish is a multi-dialect language, and it is considered a low-resource language. It is spoken by approximately 30 million people in several countries, which denotes that it has a large community with hearing-impairments as well. This paper reports on a project which aims to develop the necessary data and tools to process the sign language for Sorani as one of the spoken Kurdish dialects. We present the results of developing a dataset in HamNoSys and its corresponding SiGML form for the Kurdish Sign lexicon. We use this dataset to implement a sign-supported Kurdish tool to check the accuracy of the sign lexicon. We tested the tool by presenting it to hearing-impaired individuals. The experiment showed that 100% of the translated letters were understandable by a hearing-impaired person. The percentages were 65% for isolated words, and approximately 30% for the words in sentences.
