Arabica

Aims & Scope

Originally founded by Evariste Lévi-Provençal in 1954 as an organ for French arabists, Arabica has now become a multidisciplinary academic journal, with an international editorial board representing various fields of research.

It is dedicated to the study of the Arab world's classical and contemporary literatures, languages, history, thought and civilization.

From a wider perspective, Arabica is open to the general fields of Islamicate studies and intercultural relations between Arab societies and the other cultural areas throughout history.

It actively endeavors to participate in the development of new scholarly approaches and problematics.

In addition to original research articles in English and French (preferably), Arabica also publishes 'notes and documents', book reviews, and occasionally academic debates in its 'methods and debates' section.

Special issues may deal with a specific theme, or publish the proceedings of a conference.
