Luc Pauwels is Professor of Visual Culture at the University of Antwerp.

He is President of the International Visual Sociology Association. Eric Margolis is an Associate Professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication. The Handbook is organized into seven main sections: - Framing the Field of Visual Research - Producing Visual Data and Insight - Participatory and Subject-Centered Approaches - Analytical Frameworks and Approaches - Visualization Technologies and Practices - Moving Beyond the Visual - Options and Issues for Using and Presenting Visual Research.

Chapters describe a methodology or analytical framework, its strengths and limitations, possible fields of application and practical guidelines on how to apply the method or technique. This book is not only ′about′ research, it is also an example of the way that the visual can be incorporated into data collection and the presentation of research findings. It illustrates ′cutting edge′ as well as long-standing and recognized practices. The SAGE Handbook of Visual Research Methods encompasses the breadth and depth of the field, and points the way to future research possibilities. Margolis and Pauwels have brought together, in one volume, a unique survey of the field of visual research that will be essential reading for scholars and students across the social sciences, arts and humanities. This book captures the state of the art in visual research. Arabic terminology standardization as well as legal, medical, Sufi and Quranic terms - issues with both cultural and economic ramifications for the Arab world - are thoroughly examined, completing the solid framework of this rich tradition that still has a lot to offer.

In this collection, the importance of the ongoing translation and terminology movement in the Arab world is revealed through the works of some of the most distinguished scholars, who investigate a wide range of relevant topics from the making of the first ever Arabic monolingual dictionary to modern-day localization into Arabic. The first systematic translation activity ever organized was under the Abbasids in Baghdad in the 9th Century CE, and Arabic domination continued for several centuries before the tide turned. These disciplines have been dominated by Western scholarship in recent decades, but in truth their historical tradition as a whole owes a great debt to Arabic scholarship.

The current volume represents a revival of Arabic translation and terminology studies.
