Edebiyât provides a forum for scholars working on Middle 
Eastern literatures (chiefly Arabic, Persian, Turkish and 
Hebrew, although articles on Îminority' literatures, e.g. 
Armenian, and on the Ancient Literatures of the Middle East 
are welcomed) and related comparative studies in which to 
publish scholarly articles, translations, and brief 
communications. The emphasis is on work of a high academic 
standard, representing the current state of the art in 
literary studies. Comparative studies between related 
Middle Eastern literatures and East-West comparative 
studies are particularly welcome, as are articles on the 
relationship of literature with other arts and media 
(visual arts, music, theatre and film) and applications of 
contemporary literary theory (structuralism  semiotics  
literary anthropology) to the literature of the Middle 
East. The focus, however, is on practical demonstration of 
methodological approaches rather than on purely theoretical 
discussions. Edebiyât hopes to promote a dialogue between 
scholars of Middle Eastern Literatures and their colleagues 
in other disciplines, particularly those engaged in the 
study of other literatures (Western and non-Western alike), 
and an active exchange of views and information. Edebiyât 
also provides reviews of books and information on 
forthcoming events of interest to its readers (conferences, 
workshops, competitions, etc.)
