SCHOLARSHIP ROUNDUP

On Islamic Law

  • In "Religious Elites and the Management of Islamic Affairs in Sarawak: A Mixed Scorecard" (Fulcrum), Mohd Faizal Musa (ISEAS–Yusof Ishak Institute) argues that "political rather than religious authority still calls the shots in multi-religious Sarawak."
  • In "Ahmad al-Sharaa Is Building the State Abu Mohammed al-Golani Promised" (Lawfare), Sara Harmouch (H9 Defense) argues that the "new Syrian government is consolidating power in the hands of the president while privileging Sunni religious institutions and marginalizing competing centers of authority."
  • In "Iran's ruling structure explained" (The Conversation), Eric Lob (Florida International University) Although the supreme leader possesses disproportionate power, he is not the single authority. Instead, he is one of several positions and institutions through which the Islamic Republic's 47-year-old regime organizes its ruling structure....[His article includes] a rundown of how each of these entities functions and interacts with one another."

On Islam and AI/Data Science

  • In "Syllable Structures Across Arabic Varieties" (ACL Anthology), Abdelrahim Qaddoumi (NYU Abu Dhabi) and others investigate "the syllable structures of nine Arabic varieties from Wiktionary, using a computational syllabifier....A cross-variety analysis using Jensen-Shannon divergence reveals three principal groupings: Egyptian, Hejazi, and Modern Standard Arabic are closely related; Levantine and Gulf varieties constitute a second cluster; and Juba Arabic, Maltese, and Moroccan emerge as outliers. A cleaned dataset encompassing all nine varieties is also provided."

FIELD GUIDE TO ISLAMIC LAW ONLINE: RECENT SOURCES

The Field Guide to Islamic Law Online is an ever-growing collection of links to hundreds of primary sources and archival collections around the world, online. We recently added a new resource to this list:

  • Bahadin H. Kerborani's (University of Chicago) "Short Introduction to Kurdish Online Resources" compiles a list of "online primary and secondary Kurdish resources and collections that might make knowledge and sources more accessible" to researchers.
