The journal is linked to Manazir – Swiss Platform for the Study of Visual Arts, Architecture and Heritage in the MENA, a platform of exchange that aims to connect researchers interested in these themes in Switzerland. The term “Manazir” refers to landscape, perspective, and point of view in Arabic, Ottoman Turkish and Persian. Thus, Manazir Journal is oriented toward a diversity of transcultural and transdisciplinary “landscapes” and “points of views” and open to a multiplicity of themes, epochs, and geographical areas. It is a non-hierarchical platform that connects scholars, PhD candidates and art professionals to give higher national and international visibility to a rich yet relatively unknown field. The Platform disseminates information regarding conferences, workshops, publications, and exhibitions taking place in Switzerland and is associated with the Swiss Society Middle East and Islamic Civilization (SSMOCI/SGMOIK), which is a member of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (ASSH/SAGW).
