AI and the Ancient Languages of Iraq

Learning, Decipherment and Digital Philology

Iraqi Songs and Social Memory

Literary Criticism, Translation and Historical Perspectives

Close reading and critical translation would connect selected repertoires to everyday life, place, identity, labour, migration and historical change, with carefully evidenced comparisons to ancient Mesopotamian social and musical traditions.
