What Geopolitics? Photographing Afghan Kyrgyz Migration Routes Written by Tobias Marschall December 17, 2019
What Frames? What Geopolitics? Photographing Afghan Kyrgyz Migration Routes written by Tobias Marschall December 17, 2019 Following a photo exhibition on Afghan Kyrgyz migration routes staged at the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies in Geneva, this virtual exhibition ponders on problems of framing research for public view. It addresses the way aesthetic choices conflate cultural particularisms. It eventually aims to provide ways to conciliate an aesthetics of the place’s and society’s 1 of 24 elusiveness with endangerment sensibilities (Vidal and Dias 2016) and salvage imperatives.

Endangerment Sensibilities During the preparation of the exhibition’s vernissage, I incidentally came across a photograph in Géo Magazine of two Afghan Kyrgyz women and a young girl surrounded by a few yacks on their summer pastures. On the photograph, a few sentences locate Afghan Kyrgyz women into a culturally specific aesthetic in explaining that they traditionally shift from red to white headdresses once married.

The Red Buddha Hall Road Revisited: New Information About the Tibetan and Tang Empires in Afghanistan Wakhan
The Red Buddha Hall Road Revisited: New Information about the Tibetan and Tang Empires in Afghanistan Wakhan John Mock (Independent Scholar) gog. yul. du. rgya’i. byim. po. byungste/ bru. sha. dang. gog. stord/ “The Chinese byim-po arrived at Wakhan (Kog-yul). Bru-sha and Wakhan 1 (Gog) were lost.” his brief entry in the Old Tibetan Annals for the year 747-748 CE records the Tang Empire’s campaign against the Tibetan T Empire in Wakhan, in which General Kao Hsien-chih’s 10,000 troops defeated a similarly-sized Tibetan force near present-day Sarhad-e Broghil in the Wakhan District of Afghanistan’s Badakhshan Province, an event more fully recorded in the Tang Annals2. Departing from Kucha, General Kao led his army via Kashgar and Tashkurgan to the Pamir. At a valley called Te-le-man3, he divided his army into three. His strategic aim was to attack the Tibetan-occupied fort Lien-yün4 at the northern base of the Broghil Pass in Wakhan. Three thousand horsemen went via the “northern gorge”5; a second group went via the “Red Buddha Hall Road”6; and the general himself and the Imperial Commissioner went via the “kingdom of Hou-mi”, which Chavannes (2006, p. 184) identified as the kingdom of Wakhan. 1 Dotson 2009, p. 127-8. Original text available online at otdo.aa-ken.jp/ 2 Found in the biography of Kao Hsien-chih in the Chiu T’ang shu chapter 104 and translated by É. Chavannes (Chavannes 1903/2006, p. 183-187.

Comparative Ethnobotany of the Wakhi Agropastoralist and the Kyrgyz Nomads of Afghanistan Jens Soelberg* and Anna K
Soelberg and Jäger Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:2 DOI 10.1186/s13002-015-0063-x JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Comparative ethnobotany of the Wakhi agropastoralist and the Kyrgyz nomads of Afghanistan Jens Soelberg* and Anna K. Jäger Abstract Background: The mountainous Wakhan and Pamir in northeastern Afghanistan is one of the most isolated yet inhabited places in Asia. It is home to the agropastoralist Wakhi and the last Afghan semi-nomadic Kyrgyz. We present a study of plant names and uses, along with comparisons of plant name etymology, origins of plant resources, intra- and intercultural exchanges and relations, and the relative availability of the known and used plants. Methods: The fieldwork was conducted as an expedition in the summer of 2010, and visited settlements and pastures in Upper Wakhan and Big and Little Pamir. Semi-structured group interviews, talks and observations gave initial data on names, uses and the relative availability of used plants, and provided foundation for individual interviews using an interview-herbarium containing vouchers of the 72 most frequently used plants or plant groups. Results: Wakhi and Kyrgyz plant names are recorded in western transcription, the new Wakhi alphabet, phonetically and in Cyrillic. The present study documents a large body of endemic, indigenous plant knowledge; on crops, fuel, fodder, cosmetics, dyes, vegetables, veterinary medicine, traditional medicines and other plant uses which sustain life in Wakhan and Pamir. Overall, the Wakhi use considerably more plants than the Kyrgyz, and their materia medica and use thereof is more complex. Although the Wakhi and Kyrgyz are close neighbours, there are few indications of direct knowledge transfer between them.

M. Nazif Shahrani the Life and Career of Haji Rahmanqul Khan, 1913-1990 in This Presentation, I Focus on Some Key Factors
M. Nazif Shahrani The life and career of Haji Rahmanqul Khan, 1913-1990 In this presentation, I focus on some key factors - familial, kinship/communal, national, transnational and global - which have helped shape aspects of Haji Rahmanqul Khan’s life and career as one of Central Asia’s, arguably, last traditional khans of the twentieth cen- tury. More specifically, I discuss the trajectories of his life and career as the leader of the Kirghiz/Kyrgyz of the Afghan Pamirs by drawing attention to the implications of his life and career upon the common misunderstandings and regular characterisations of widely diverse traditional Central Asian local leaders - beg/bey, aqsaqals and khans . Conceptualisations and constructions of local leadership traits currently in use about Inner Asia are produced and reproduced for over a century within the context of oppressive centralising states, beginning with the tsarist colonial occupation of much of the region culminating into Soviet Russian and later Chinese Communist rule in Central Asia, as well as, the establishments of postcolonial and more recently post-Soviet nation-states with arbitrary borders in South- western Asia as well as former Soviet Central Asia affecting inhabitants of the Pamirs ever since the turns of the twentieth century. Many Central Asian khans and begs , together with local influential religious leaders, mobi- lised and led resistances against foreign colonialists masquerading as forces of modernisa- tion or revolution and liberation of the toiling masses. Local leaders in Central Asia also resisted penetration of autocratic postcolonial modern nation-states intent on internal colonialism in the name of nationalism. Not surprisingly, such local leaders/ khans and begs were condemned categorically both by foreign Communist imperialists as well as national- ist ethnic/tribal hegemons, as oppressive local tyrants, feudal lords and even “scorpions”, as was the case in Afghanistan, targeted for elimination, incarceration or exile.

Viewing Change Through the Prism of Indigenous Human Ecology: Findings from the Afghan and Tajik Pamirs

Prelim- nineteenth century, now also marks another division. In a inary findings indicate concern for food sovereignty, variety of areas, people with the same cultural history and evidence of biocultural impacts of climate change, an ecological profession that were divided for colonial increasing burden on women, debilitating opium addiction, interests are now also divided by their different ways of the ecological importance of sacred sites, and other knowing. On the Afghan side of the Pamirs, indigenous priorities related to sustainable livelihoods, such as energy knowledge1 has been the mainstay for survival in the needs (for fuel and lighting) and physical and social context of great upheaval, whereas on the Tajik side of the infrastructure in the form of roads and schools. In the divide, this knowledge has been largely devalued and complex setting of the Pamir Mountains, characterized by overwhelmed by scientific knowledge driven by the Soviet both cultural and ecological diversity and marked by command economy. However, with the collapse of Soviet artificial political boundaries, the creative and pragmatic Union and the large population movements caused by the interaction between indigenous and scientific knowledge civil war in Tajikistan, practical concerns for survival have sustains the best hope for survival.
