Lights: The MESSA Quarterly

As a publication of the Middle East Studies Students Association at the University of Chicago, Lights aspires to provide a forum for scholarly work on the Middle East, particularly for those students pursuing a Master’s Degree at the University. We are a non-political and peer-reviewed publication, seeking to foster understanding of the region and its people and offer a space for intellectual exchange.

All submissions are considered anonymously and evaluated on their scholarly and stylistic merits. We select papers that explore the political, linguistic, historical, and cultural significance of the Middle East; works that transcend limitations across formal cultural and ideological boundaries, with varying aesthetic approaches.
We are proud to present this, many further editions of Lights.

Open Access Jurnal: Iura Orientalia

Iura Orientalia: Rassegna Scientifica on-line sui Diritti Orientali Antichi e Moderni
ISSN 1828-1788

Iura Orientalia nasce come una emanazione scientifica della Facoltà di Diritto Canonico Orientale del Pontificio Istituto Orientale (Roma). 

Iura Orientalia [= Iur.Or.] è un dunque progetto scientifico on-line il cui fine è diffondere la tematica inerente ai diritti orientali sia antichi che moderni, cercando così di investigare tutto l'Oriente, ovviamente sotto una angolazione giuridica. Iur. Or. desidera essere anche uno spazio aperto a valenti giovani studiosi (dottorandi di ricerca, ai neo-dottorandi di ricerca e giovani ricercatori).

Le aree d'interesse di Iura Orientalia

Le aree d'interesse di Iura Orientalia, sono le seguenti:

Sezione I - Diritti dell'Antico Oriente
Sezione II - Diritto Bizantino
Sezione III - Diritto Canonico Orientale
Sezione IV - Diritto Islamico e diritto dei paesi mussulmani
Sezione V - Diritti orientali moderni
Sezione VI - Recensioni
Sezione VII - Varia

All'interno di queste sezioni si potranno rintracciare le seguenti aree di ricerca: diritto mesopotamico, hittita, egiziano ed ebraico (antico e moderno); diritti attici e diritto greco; diritto greco-romano o bizantino; diritto canonico orientale; diritto islamico e dei paesi musulmani; diritto indiano (antico e moderno); diritto cinese (antico e moderno); diritto nipponico (antico e moderno); diritto Tibetano, ecc.

Iura Orientalia: una rassegna on-line

Iura Orientalia desidera avere tutte le caratteristiche di una rassegna, ma anziché essere edita su carta, sarà pubblicata inizialmente e principalmente tramite internet (non si esclude tuttavia il cartaceo, che però verrà in un secondo momento).
Iur. Or. avrà inizialmente una cadenza annuale (un volume per anno). 

La consultazione della rivista, così come il "download" degli articoli, sarà completamente gratuito. 

Per leggere gli articoli sarà sufficiente andare alla sezione della Rassegna.
Gli articoli saranno scaricabili mediante il formato .pdf, perciò è sufficiente avere una versione del programma Adobe Acrobat Reader. 

Per presentare un articolo, sarà sufficiente attenersi alle regole metodologiche ed inviare il testo sia su file, incluse le font, che su cartaceo alla Redazione che provvederà poi a metterlo in rete con formato .pdf.

Middle East and North Africa: Year of rebellion: The state of human rights in the Middle East and North Africa

2011 was a year without precedent for the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa region. It was a year in which millions of people of all ages and backgrounds flooded on to the streets to demand change. Dubbed the “Arab Spring”, in fact the protests brought together in common cause people from many different communities. This report describes the events of this tumultuous year, one which saw much suffering and sadness but also spread hope within the region and beyond, to countries where other people face repression and everyday abuse of their human rights.

Open Access Journal: Türkçe Edebiyat Kültür Eğitim Dergisi

Türkçe Edebiyat Kültür Eğitim Dergisi

Uluslararası Türkçe Edebiyat Kültür Eğitim Dergisi üç aylık aralıklarla yılda dört defa (Mart, Haziran, Eylül, Aralık) düzenli olarak yayımlanması planlanan, internet üzerinden yayın yapan, elektronik nitelikte uluslararası hakemli bilimsel bir dergidir.

Dergide Türk dili, Türk Edebiyatı, kültür ve eğitim bilimleriyle ilgili özgün, bilimsel araştırmaya dayalı makalelere; ayrıca adı geçen alanlarda yayımlanmış kitaplara ilişkin değerlendirme yazılarına / kitap tanıtımlarına yer verilecektir.

Uluslararası Türkçe Edebiyat Kültür Eğitim Dergisi sosyal bilimler alanında, özellikle dil-kültür ve eğitim bilimleri alanlarında, araştırma raporlarının yayımlanabileceği bilimsel nitelikteki dergi sayısının yetersizliğinden hareketle Prof. Dr. Cengiz ALYILMAZ sahipliğinde ve editörlüğünde kurulmuştur.

Dergi, Türkiye ve farklı ülkelerdeki birçok üniversitede görevli, dil, edebiyat ve eğitim bilimleri alanlarında uzman akademisyenleri bilimsel bir platformda buluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda dergide Türkiye Türkçesinde yazılmış makalelerin yanı sıra Türkçenin farklı lehçelerinde ve yabancı dillerde (İngilizce ve Rusça) yazılmış makalelere de yer verilecektir.

Uluslararası Türkçe Edebiyat Kültür Eğitim Dergisinin ilk sayılarından itibaren ulusal ve uluslararası indekslerde taranması için gerekli çalışmalar başlatılmıştır. Böylece akademisyenlerin, yayınlarını daha geniş bilimsel bir çevreyle paylaşmalarına imkân sağlanacağı düşünülmektedir.
