The 2004 conference has two aims. First, we invite papers and contributions in all areas related to humanities computing and the application of advanced information technologies in humanities subjects, including linguistics, literature, cultural and historical studies, translation studies, media studies and digital collections. Papers on research and on teaching are both of interest.  Papers may report on new theoretical and methodological advances in any relevant field. Second, within this context, the conference is expected to address the increased challenges of multilingualism, an issue manifested by the further enlargement of Europe and the process of integration of nations world wide. We thus also encourage papers related to the linguistic and cultural issues of multilingual communities. It is clear that specialists in humanities computing can help achieve these aims through individual scientific and educational tasks and joint projects, as well as by making available their research base through educational and electronic library resources. We believe that responding to these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect on humanities computing as a whole by opening up new ways and methodologies to enhance the use of computers and computation in a wide range of humanities disciplines. The Call for Papers for the 2004 Joint ALLC/ACH Conference will be published in June 2003. We welcome presentations in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. Further information on the research and educational activities as well as on past conferences of the two associations can be found at www.allc.org (ALLC) and www.ach.org (ACH).  For an overview of the range of topics covered by humanities computing please refer to the journals of the Associations, Literary and Linguistic Computing (www.oup.co.uk) and Computers and the Humanities (www.kluweronline.com).

Bell" Subject:New JAIS article Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies From Joseph Bell The prepublication version of the following new article has been posted today: Seyed Hossein Serajzadeh. "Islam and Crime: The Moral Community of Muslims" (Adobe Acrobat 5.0 PDF file, 199 kB, pp. 111-131). HTML version to be posted later. Abstract: International crime statistics indicate that in Islamic countries crime rates are lower than in other countries. This feature of Islamic countries is most often explained by two factors: a) the relatively low level of development, which has a positive effect on crime rates, and b) the strictness of Islamic penal law. Providing some evidence, this article maintains that the first factor fails to explain properly the difference in the crime rates of Islamic and non-Islamic countries at a similar level of development. It also argues that the second explanation is a reductionist one. Following a Weberian approach, the article develops the argument that the content and structure of Islamic belief and practice is the dominant shared element among Islamic countries. It has given rise to a particular socio-cultural structure among Muslims, one of the impacts of which has been the low crime rate. Islamic beliefs and practice, therefore, are discussed as the main explanatory factor for the low crime rate in Islamic countries. (Keywords: Religion, Crime, Development, Islam, Shari'a, Islamic law, Muslim attitudes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 04 Jun 2003 From Dilworth_Parkinson at byu.edu Wed Jun 4 16:47:03 2003 From: Dilworth_Parkinson at byu.edu (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 10:47:03 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:abu fulaan extended meaning Message-ID: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arabic-L: Wed 04 Jun 2003 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------- 1) Subject:abu fulaan extended meaning -------------------------Messages-------------------------------------- 1) Date: 04 Jun 2003 From: dwilmsen Subject:abu fulaan extended meaning A recent insert in al-Ahram describes a Big Mac as 'sandiwitsh abou dooreen".

Here, "Ummaat" may not be plural of mother, rather a "Nation" of beards, which can easily be said in a derogatory manner. The plural, I think, would be, "Ummahat" of beards. Also, "Abu" can be used in an insulting manner, for example, "Abu Khara" can be heard on the streets of Beirut, or Jerusalem for that matter. Needless to say, "ibn" is regularly used to insult one's family background (as in SOB), as well as, Akhu, or ekht/ukht. You may call me SOB, but "Brother Of B", is too insulting.

I'd be grateful to hear from anyone with references to published studies of Arabic sub classification, or with ideas about the same. Please write to me directly, and I will summarize responses to the whole list. (I have to spell "sub classification" this way because the listserv software it I spell it as one word!)

It has my name, Dilworth Parkinson, as the sender, but if you look closely you'll find that it has my return address as Dilworth_Parkinson at arizona.edu which is an entirely fictitious address. This message contained an attachment, and I have a policy never to include attachments on Arabic-L for this very reason, and I have heard from some of you that it also contained a virus. My technical people here tell me that someone has basically hijacked my address, fiddled with it, and used it to try to reach a lot of people with a virus. So, if you receive an Arabic-L message, or what looks like one, that contains an attachment, do not open it. I will continue my policy not to post attachments on Arabic-L, so the presence of an attachment is a sign that the message is fake. Also, given the continued vicious onslots of the virus hackers, I strongly suggest that all of you protect yourselves with a good virus protection program that scans everything that comes into your computer and isolates problems before they can do damage. Sorry for these problems. I am talking to the tech people here about ways to protect from such misuse of my name and Arabic-L in general, and they have made some suggestions but also say that the current way the internet is organized means that it is impossible to prevent such attacks entirely.

Bell" Subject:New JAIS article Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies From Joseph Bell The prepublication version of the following new article has been posted today: Leif Ole Manger. "Religion, Identities, and Politics: Defining Muslim Discourses in the Nuba Mountains of the Sudan" (Adobe Acrobat 5.0 PDF file, 178 kB, pp. 132-52). HTML version to be posted later. Abstract: The author discusses the increased importance of Islam in religious and social life in the Sudan, exemplified by a discussion of the interplay between an indigenous, non-Arab, non-Islamized Sudanese people, the Lafofa Nuba, and their interaction with the Arab and Islamic traditions of Sudanese society at large. An understanding of this interaction will require types of analysis that deal with issues of belief as well as broader issues of identity management. People do not take over Islam as one unified system and in one process of conversion; rather they take up Muslim customs and practices that become symbols of such a conversion. The process of conversion must therefore be linked to the socio-economic and political status of the people involved. The author points out that theoretical contributions by Talal Asad on Islam as a "discursive tradition" and Robert Launay on Muslim communities as "moral communities" provide interesting avenues for exploring this complexity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 26 Jun 2003 From dilworth_parkinson at byu.edu Thu Jun 26 17:44:08 2003 From: dilworth_parkinson at byu.edu (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 11:44:08 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:PEDA:Source for ME map Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Arabic-L: Thu 26 Jun 2003 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Source for ME map -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 26 Jun 2003 From:Claudette Mukalla Subject:Source for ME map Here's another source for a map of the Middle East ...

The 2004 conference has two aims. First, we invite papers and contributions in all areas related to humanities computing and the application of advanced information technologies in humanities subjects, including linguistics, literature, cultural and historical studies, translation studies, media studies and digital collections. Papers on research and on teaching are both of interest.? Papers may report on new theoretical and methodological advances in any relevant field. Second, within this context, the conference is expected to address the increased challenges of multilingualism, an issue manifested by the further enlargement of Europe and the process of integration of nations world wide. We thus also encourage papers related to the linguistic and cultural issues of multilingual communities. It is clear that specialists in humanities computing can help achieve these aims through individual scientific and educational tasks and joint projects, as well as by making available their research base through educational and electronic library resources. We believe that responding to these new challenges will also have a fertilizing effect on humanities computing as a whole by opening up new ways and methodologies to enhance the use of computers and computation in a wide range of humanities disciplines. The Call for Papers for the 2004 Joint ALLC/ACH Conference will be published in June 2003. We welcome presentations in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. Further information on the research and educational activities as well as on past conferences of the two associations can be found at www.allc.org (ALLC) and www.ach.org (ACH).? For an overview of the range of topics covered by humanities computing please refer to the journals of the Associations, Literary and Linguistic Computing (www.oup.co.uk) and Computers and the Humanities (www.kluweronline.com).

Bell" Subject:New JAIS article Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies From Joseph Bell The prepublication version of the following new article has been posted today: Seyed Hossein Serajzadeh. "Islam and Crime: The Moral Community of Muslims" (Adobe Acrobat 5.0 PDF file, 199 kB, pp. 111-131). HTML version to be posted later. Abstract: International crime statistics indicate that in Islamic countries crime rates are lower than in other countries. This feature of Islamic countries is most often explained by two factors: a) the relatively low level of development, which has a positive effect on crime rates, and b) the strictness of Islamic penal law. Providing some evidence, this article maintains that the first factor fails to explain properly the difference in the crime rates of Islamic and non-Islamic countries at a similar level of development. It also argues that the second explanation is a reductionist one. Following a Weberian approach, the article develops the argument that the content and structure of Islamic belief and practice is the dominant shared element among Islamic countries. It has given rise to a particular socio-cultural structure among Muslims, one of the impacts of which has been the low crime rate. Islamic beliefs and practice, therefore, are discussed as the main explanatory factor for the low crime rate in Islamic countries. (Keywords: Religion, Crime, Development, Islam, Shari'a, Islamic law, Muslim attitudes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 04 Jun 2003 From Dilworth_Parkinson at byu.edu Wed Jun 4 16:47:03 2003 From: Dilworth_Parkinson at byu.edu (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 10:47:03 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:abu fulaan extended meaning Message-ID: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arabic-L: Wed 04 Jun 2003 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------- 1) Subject:abu fulaan extended meaning -------------------------Messages-------------------------------------- 1) Date: 04 Jun 2003 From: dwilmsen Subject:abu fulaan extended meaning A recent insert in al-Ahram describes a Big Mac as 'sandiwitsh abou dooreen".

Here, "Ummaat" may not be plural of mother, rather a "Nation" of beards, which can easily be said in a derogatory manner. The plural, I think, would be, "Ummahat" of beards. Also, "Abu" can be used in an insulting manner, for example, "Abu Khara" can be heard on the streets of Beirut, or Jerusalem for that matter. Needless to say, "ibn" is regularly used to insult one's family background (as in SOB), as well as, Akhu, or ekht/ukht. You may call me SOB, but "Brother Of B", is too insulting. They say, once, during the civil war in Lebanon, the cease fire was broken after one party said something to someone's sister!

I am especially interested in any arguments as to whether these forms should be handled in the syntax or the lexicon. I am also looking for any works that provide detailed empirical descriptions that might furnish insights into this issue.

It has my name, Dilworth Parkinson, as the sender, but if you look closely you'll find that it has my return address as Dilworth_Parkinson at arizona.edu which is an entirely fictitious address. This message contained an attachment, and I have a policy never to include attachments on Arabic-L for this very reason, and I have heard from some of you that it also contained a virus. My technical people here tell me that someone has basically hijacked my address, fiddled with it, and used it to try to reach a lot of people with a virus. So, if you receive an Arabic-L message, or what looks like one, that contains an attachment, do not open it. I will continue my policy not to post attachments on Arabic-L, so the presence of an attachment is a sign that the message is fake. Also, given the continued vicious onslots of the virus hackers, I strongly suggest that all of you protect yourselves with a good virus protection program that scans everything that comes into your computer and isolates problems before they can do damage. Sorry for these problems. I am talking to the tech people here about ways to protect from such misuse of my name and Arabic-L in general, and they have made some suggestions but also say that the current way the internet is organized means that it is impossible to prevent such attacks entirely.

Bell" Subject:New JAIS article Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies From Joseph Bell The prepublication version of the following new article has been posted today: Leif Ole Manger. "Religion, Identities, and Politics: Defining Muslim Discourses in the Nuba Mountains of the Sudan" (Adobe Acrobat 5.0 PDF file, 178 kB, pp. 132-52). HTML version to be posted later. Abstract: The author discusses the increased importance of Islam in religious and social life in the Sudan, exemplified by a discussion of the interplay between an indigenous, non-Arab, non-Islamized Sudanese people, the Lafofa Nuba, and their interaction with the Arab and Islamic traditions of Sudanese society at large. An understanding of this interaction will require types of analysis that deal with issues of belief as well as broader issues of identity management. People do not take over Islam as one unified system and in one process of conversion; rather they take up Muslim customs and practices that become symbols of such a conversion. The process of conversion must therefore be linked to the socio-economic and political status of the people involved. The author points out that theoretical contributions by Talal Asad on Islam as a "discursive tradition" and Robert Launay on Muslim communities as "moral communities" provide interesting avenues for exploring this complexity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- End of Arabic-L: 26 Jun 2003 From dilworth_parkinson at byu.edu Thu Jun 26 17:44:08 2003 From: dilworth_parkinson at byu.edu (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2003 11:44:08 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:PEDA:Source for ME map Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Arabic-L: Thu 26 Jun 2003 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Source for ME map -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 26 Jun 2003 From:Claudette Mukalla Subject:Source for ME map Here's another source for a map of the Middle East ...
