The CMES (Center of Middle Eastern Studies) journal is a distinguished peer-reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing rigorous scholarly research on Middle Eastern studies. It publishes high-calibre research articles, theoretical studies, and critical reviews that engage with both contemporary and historical issues relevant to the region, employing a multidisciplinary approach. The CMES journal serves as a dynamic intellectual platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to exchange innovative findings and perspectives, advancing Middle Eastern studies through a multidisciplinary framework grounded in the epistemological foundations of the humanities and social sciences.

Abstract

The development of modern filmmaking has undergone various transformations. Stories adapted into films are no longer limited to original scripts written by screenwriters but can also originate from literary works such as short stories or novels. The process of transforming written texts into films is known as ecranisation. This study examines the process of ecranisation in the short film “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, an adaptation of the short story Ali Baba by Kamil Kaylani. This study aims to analyze the ecranisation process based on plot, characters, and setting elements. The theoretical framework applied in this study is Seymour Chatman’s narrative theory, focusing on plot, characters, and setting, combined with Pamusuk Eneste’s ecranisation theory, which encompasses reduction, addition, and variation in film adaptation. The data for this study were derived from the short story Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and the short film Ali Baba, produced by the Arabian Fairy Tales YouTube channel. The findings reveal differences between the original work and the adaptation, as the resulting film does not fully reproduce the source text but represents a summary shaped by the understanding and creativity of the screenwriter and filmmaker.

Abstract

This research will elaborate deeply about the variant of conjunction in Arabic language and its techniques of translation. The investigating of translation techniques had the significant role in the process of translation. The translation problems had been found in the process of translation, especially related to the arabic conjunction. The analysis of variant techniques of translation towardsthe arabic conjunction can be investigated by the theory of gramatical equivalence between Arabic (L1) and Bahasa Indonesia (L2). This research aims to elaborate comprehensively about the variant construction of cohesive conjunction in Arabic language and its variant models of translation into Bahasa Indonesia. The second aim of this research is to investigate the techniques of translation toward the construction of cohesive conjunctions, especially in the Arabic prose Fi Sabiili At-Taaj which had been translated by Choirul Anwar into Bahasa Indonesia as "Ambisi Meraih Mahkota" published by Fajar Pustaka (2001). This research had been classified as descriptive qualitative model. The data had been classified using the random sampling method. The result of the research had been concluded that: (1) the Arabic adversative conjunctions had been translated into "tidak", "tetapi", and "bahkan" in Bahasa Indonesia. (2) the Arabic additive conjunctions had been translated into "dan", "lalu", and "maupun" in Bahasa Indonesia. (3) the Arabic temporal conjunctions had been translated into "kemudian" and "akhirnya" in Bahasa Indonesia. (4) the Arabic causal conjunctions had been translated into "sehingga" and "sampai" in Bahasa Indonesia. (5) several techniques had been implemented in the translations of Arabic novel FiiSabiili At Taaj, such as: literal, reduction, discursive creation, linguistic amplification, established equivalence, transposition, linguistic compression, and calque.

Abstract

This article examines the Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of eschatology, a religious belief concerning end-of-age expectations, which often incites violent reactions. Despite extensive research on the Israel-Palestine conflict, there is a lack of comprehensive studies exploring the role of eschatology in this context. The Middle East, including Israel and Palestine, is a turbulent war zone with religion significantly fueling extreme hatred and violence. The focus is on the impact of religious traditions, particularly eschatology, which is prone to provoke violent reactions. The study analyzes this through five sections: eschatology prophecy, daily religion, Jerusalem’s role, expansion beyond Jerusalem, and the conveyed message. The article concludes that eschatology significantly influences this conflict, with violent apocalyptic prophecies exacerbating the situation. Resolving this conflict necessitates diverse interpretations of eschatology and apocalyptic prophecies and understanding religion’s role in the conflict.

Abstract

The history of Christianity in Indonesia is inextricably linked to that of Western colonialism. Due to this historical fact, Christianity has been stigmatized in Indonesian mainly by Muslim society as a colonial religion. This stigma later emerged in a number of Indonesian Christian communities. This study will look at the development of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in Indonesia through the lens of a religious purification movement. This study employs a sequential mixed research method that includes interviews, questionnaires, observation, and documentation. This study show  that the conversion of mainstream Christians to Coptic Orthodox Christianity arose from a perception that mainstream Christianity was impure, too westernized, and did not conform to the identity of Indonesians as Easterners. This study ends with a conclusion that the presence of the Coptic Orthodox Christian community in Indonesia was exacerbated by an identity crisis, moral criticism, and rejection of the truth system in mainstream Christianity, as well as a desire to return to authentic Christianity.

Abstract

This study aims to explain how government ideology has influenced the Turkish Muslim dress, particularly during the reign of Mustafa Kemal Pasha and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This study used a historical method, which includes collecting and searching for sources and then processing the data to find facts. There were four stages in carrying out the historical approach, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, while data collection is used literature review. The results indicated that the way Turkish Muslims dress has been influenced by government ideology. Meanwhile, during the time of Mustafa Kemal, who upheld the secularist ideology, Turkish people were forbidden from wearing head coverings, veils, Muslim clothing, and fez. Even the Turkish people were ordered to dress in a Western style, while during the time of Tayyip Erdogan, where he tried to transform Turkish secularism into a more moderate one, lifted some of the prohibitions during the Kemal era by allowing the Turkish people to wear headscarves, veils, fez and Muslim clothing.
