About the Journal

Critical Islamicate Humanities: Journal of Cultural and Literary Studies is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the critical and interdisciplinary study of literature and cultural production in Islamicate societies. The journal provides a platform for scholarly engagement with issues of power, representation, and discourse across historical and contemporary contexts.

Positioned at the intersection of Islamic studies, literary studies, cultural studies, and critical theory, the journal foregrounds analytical approaches that move beyond normative and theological frameworks. It encourages contributions that critically examine Islamicate texts, narratives, and cultural practices within broader structures such as colonialism, globalization, and capitalism.

This annually published journal disseminates original research articles, theoretical essays, and critical reviews that contribute to advancing the field of Islamicate humanities in global academic discourse.
