The keys to the garden: Capital, class, and the repurposing of Persian mystical poetry in Los Angeles

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora.

Greek ΜΝΗΣΘΗ and Aramaic DKYR in the Near East: A Comparative Epigraphic Study

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 13-26, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Past studies of graffiti containing the word ΜΝΗΣΘΗ have never fully established its intrinsic meaning. However, due to the existence of the Aramaic term DKYR, which carries a seemingly identical meaning to ΜΝΗΣΘΗ, in similar contexts in the Roman Near East, a comparison between both words is possible.

Genres of Paradoxical IS Theorising: Of Chaos–Puzzles and Spear–Shields

Information Systems Journal, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 901-923, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Paradox is a powerful lens for theorising information systems (IS) phenomena. However, as scholars apply the term to fundamentally different phenomena, ‘paradox’ risks dilution. Much confusion stems from conflating two concepts under the same English label ‘paradox’: chaos–puzzles (seemingly impossible ideas, aligned with the Chinese term ‘bei
