Abstract:
L'Autore mette in risalto come la conoscenza, la disponibilitŕ e il dialogo del conoscere sono le condizioni per capire veramente l'afgano e la sensibilitŕ afgana. E ciň č quello che manca in chi, straniero, si occupa dell'Afghanistan: diplomatico, militare, funzionario, volontario, tecnico medico, che arrivano, pensano di risolvere i problemi, per poi tornare presto in patria con un aumento di stipendio e di carriera. L'Autore richiama invece alcuni esempi di persone che entrano dentro all'animo afgano: Alberto Cairo č il piů citato per la sua opera e i suo libri che riproducono questo rapporto con la vita quotidiana e l'identitŕ afgana. Infine l'articolo riporta esperienze dirette dell'Autore, che si concentrano nell'incontro con Abdullah, il venditore di meloni, con il quale passa ore, sorbendo tč afgano, a parlare di vita quotidiana, di politica, a cominciare da Karzai.

Abstract:
In our examination of the representations of exile in Afghan popular culture, we focus in particular on popular poetry and song lyrics in Farsi, one of the national languages of Afghanistan. This article concentrates on the voices of exiles, their self-representation and their descriptions of life far from their homeland. We argue that, in addition to offering catharsis and expressing collective suffering, the verses are also used to urge return and, more recently, to voice complaints to and about host societies, as well as to critique the Afghan government for its failures.

Abstract:
The research conducted was entitled "Affixation Analysis in the DEKADE Afgan Song Album". This research was conducted using qualitative methods. The data used in the study were taken from the lyrics of the Afgan song on the album "DEKADE" which is available on sites on the internet. The problem discussed was the use of affixes to Afgan's song lyrics in DEKADE's album. The results of the research conducted show that there are many uses of affixation in the lyrics of agu Afgan. There are 112 words that contain affixations in the Afgan song lyrics on the album. Of the 112 data found with affixes, suffixes had the highest percentage of usage. There were 69 data suffixes that were found, consisting of the suffixes kan-, -nya, -an, and -i. The suffix that is mostly found is kan-, while the suffix with the smallest frequency of occurrence is the suffix -an. Like suffixes, prefixes are also found in the lyrics of the song. The prefix found in 24 data consisted of tar, ber-, di-, mem-, and se-. Meanwhile, in the confixes of the song lyrics, there are 9 data consisting of performances and occasional data.

In this reflection, Louise Pascale describes the evolution, development, and outcomes of the Afghan Children's Songbook Project, which is reintroducing children's ethnic songs to the children of Afghanistan and Afghan expats as well as to American schoolchildren. Her reflection highlights the potential for music to unify and strengthen community, thus joining people together in a common experience. She explores the suppression and resurgence of musical culture in Afghanistan and the connection of this experience to music education in schools in the United States.

Abstract:
AbstractThe second half of the 1990s saw the emergence of a new, distinctive type of Afghan poetry, the Taliban tarana performed in Pashto by one or more vocalists without instrumental accompaniment and characterised by the melodic modes of local folk music. Over the last fifteen years the tarana chants have gained wide distribution within Afghanistan and Pashto speaking parts of Pakistan, as well as among the Pashtun diaspora. Considering their unambiguous ideological status and their immense popularity within the country of origin they can be regarded as the signature tune of the Afghan insurgency. The present article, which focuses on the literary roots of these songs, attempts to demonstrate that their authors are following century old patterns of Pashto oral and written poetry while adopting traditional material to the needs and the milieu of contemporary Afghan society. The publication is supplemented by a transcription and English translation of five tarana chants.

Abstract:
L'Autore tratta di un'area di confine, che č insieme divisione statale e unione etnica e culturale. L'area di confine considerata č quella delle Aree tribali amministrate federalmente ("Federally Administered Tribal Areas - Fata"), che appartengono al Pakistan e sono a ridosso del confine con l'Afghanistan. Vengono descritte le specificitŕ politico-giudiziarie, economiche e produttive e commerciali, ma soprattutto la continuitŕ etnica con la parte afgana dell'oltreconfine. Le Fata hanno giocato sempre un ruolo notevole, ma soprattutto dall'invasione sovietica, con una notevole fuga di afgani, e quindi con la costituzione di campi di profughi nella parte pakistana. Ma soprattutto questa area, con capoluogo Peshawar, č stata il punto di riferimento di nuovi gruppi religiosi/ integralisti islamici formati intorno alle, appoggiati da potenze come Stati Uniti, Arabia Saudita, Pakistan. Questi sono i talebani che poi sconfiggono i sovietici e in seguito assumono le connotazioni Al Qaediste e terroristiche. La dinamica dei relativi rapporti tra profughi e pashtun delle aree tribali viene svolta dall'Autore, mettendo in risalto i tentativi di spingere i tre milioni di profughi al rientro in Afghanistan. In questa logica ruolo fondamentale hanno gli Stati Uniti, il cambio politico del Pakistan, le Ong, l'Unhcr. Vengono altresě messi in risalto i caratteri organizzativi di queste tribů, con la sovrapposizione di tante(da quelle familiari a quella regionale), e i caratteri sociali della popolazione. Si conclude con un riferimento al futuro.

Abstract:
This article considers the stated motivations for travel in the case of three examples of travel writing about Afghanistan. Jason Elliot’s An Unexpected Light documents his travel in 1984 during the war between the Afghan Mujaheddin and the Soviets; Jonny Bealby’s For a Pagan Song, first published in 1998, takes place during the civil war between Mujaheddin and the Taleban; Rory Stewart’s The Places In Between was written about travel between 2000 and 2002, during which time Operation Enduring Freedom was launched against the Taleban. The article deploys Genette’s concept of paratexts in order to show how the acknowledgments, blurbs, and other paratextual material, when read against the grain, undermine the relationship between the writer and their stated motivations and, thus, destabilize the self-representation of each writer in the course of the narrative. The outcome of these readings is a critique of the three texts, arguing that each one works to justify their travel through a combination of self-narration and paratextual material but that none of them address the implications of their travel for the Afghan people or that the purpose of the travel is to write the text.

Abstract:
The Wakhi language, as represented in particular by those of its dialects that are spoken in Afghanistan and the Soviet Pamirs, has been described in more detail than any other Iranian language of the area that has virtually no written tradition. As early as the middle of the last century scholars began studying the language on the basis of mostly short or fragmentary glossaries and collections of texts and additional material became available during the thirties and fifties of the present century. During the sixties and seventies, two Leningrad Iranists, A. L. Grünberg and I. M. Steblin-Kamenskij, worked intensively on Pamirian Wakhi and the kind of Wakhi spoken in Afghan Badakhshan. Their research culminated in the publication of a rich collection of orally transmitted songs, fairy tales, proverbs, and texts of ethnographic interest, accompanied by a detailed analysis of Wakhi grammar and a comprehensive glossary. The material collected by Grünberg and Steblin-Kamenskij like that published by G. Buddruss and in some older articles by Russian scholars, conforms on the whole to what one would expect to find in an exclusively oral tradition. Apart from the usual kinds of fairy tales and songs we find also a kind of popular poetry unique to Wakhi.

Abstract:
This study analyzes the post-September 11 Taliban’s discourse, exploring particularly the sujet of the battle of Maiwand (July 27, 1880) in the Taliban’s tarani (pl. of tarana “chant, song”). After providing a brief history of the post-September 11 conflict in Afghanistan, the paper examines Afghanistan’s experience of colonialism in the 19th century by discussing the Anglo-Afghan wars, with a focus on the battle of Maiwand and its importance in the modern history of Afghanistan. This study takes a postcolonial and postmodernist approach to discourse analysis. Using a postmodernist approach, the author tried to understand how the Taliban saw the post-September 11, 2001 conflict, and how they legitimized their actions. This study concludes that the Taliban used Afghanistan’s past experience of colonialism in their discourse. In fact, they refer to the historical events and personalities, those led resistance against colonial powers in the 19th century, for propaganda purposes. In addition, the paper shows that the colonial past is an important factor in the success or failure of interventions and peacekeeping missions, particularly in Afghanistan.

Abstract:
Le dimissioni anticipate di Kai Eide, il capo della missione Onu in Afghanistan, il fallimento del processo elettorale per l'elezione del presidente - vessato da frodi e brogli manifesti - ma soprattutto la decisione di Barack Obama di inviare nuovi soldati sembrano dire, sul futuro dell'Afghanistan, una sola cosa: nonostante le speranze di una svolta che sapesse coniugare la presenza dei soldati della Nato a un cambio di strategia che tenesse in maggior conto le esigenze e le necessitŕ della popolazione, il conflitto nel paese asiatico sembra rimanere prigioniero della sola opzione militare. La decisione di Obama di inviare trentamila marine, seguita dalla promessa della Nato di cercarne in Europa altri diecimila (tra cui mille italiani) non solo non č stata accompagnata da una riflessione sulla necessitŕ di un maggior impegno civile in Afghanistan nella ricostruzione e per soddisfare le necessitŕ primarie, ma sembra significare che la Comunitŕ internazionale non č in grado di formulare alternative alla sola azione militare. Se non un generico appello per una miglior qualitŕ del governo nazionale di Kabul. Gli ultimi mesi sono significativi da questo punto di vista e vale la pena di ripercorrerli. Cercheremo anche di indicare qualche possibile suggerimento che, in primo luogo, dovrebbe coinvolgere un cambio di strategia del nostro Paese.

Abstract:
Despite robust scholarship on the general themes of state-building, little scholarship exists on the strategies of exogenous powers on the construction of developing states. Further complicating these strategies is the influence of strong men, local elites who seek to mitigate the influence of both the developing state and the exogenous state on local modes of power and influenceoften through the development of armed militias. Appropriating the construct of Barnett and Zurchers peacebuilders construct and utilizing the Sons of Iraq and the Afghan Local Police as case-studies, this thesis seeks to explore the current relationship between local strong men, developing state governments, and the exogenous state (or the invited leviathan) in two states where U.S. policy has dictated the deployment of hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Powerful arguments can be made regarding U.S. policy in support of, and against, these militias. This thesis will show that U.S. empowerment of these militias can not only improve local security conditions, but it can empower disenfranchised groups at the state level. Understanding the dynamics at play in these circumstances can help inform the nature of future interaction with strong men, militias, and developing governments.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the possibilities of precarity as a perspective in the field of literary studies in order to analyse how insecurity is portrayed in literature. Sweden has a great tradition of proletarian literature, but researchers in the neoliberal era find it problematic to understand the emancipating aspects of the new proletarian literature that does not focus on collective movement and articulated emancipation. This thesis explores the possibilities of precarity as a perspective for analysing how literature narrated through an individual and passive perspective can work as a social critique. The analysis focuses on the novels Kärlekens Antarktis [The Antarctica of Love] by Sara Stridsberg and De afghanska sönerna [The Afghan Sons] by Elin Persson and tries to answer questions about how these novels portray precarity and how the perspective of precarity enables an understanding of how the novels work as social criticism. The thesis mostly uses theories by Judith Butler and Isabell Lorey, and the analysis uses a comparative method in combination with a reading that focuses on the thematics of precarity. This is disposed in connection to Lorey’s three dimensions of precarity – precariousness, precarity, and governmental precarization. The analysis results in an understanding of how these kinds of novels can capture the biopolitical perspective, where politics and life emerge. The reading’s focus on the aspect of the body, followed by the hierarchical and societal aspects, shows how the novels’ individual perspectives can have collective tendencies in connection to the reader’s ability to feel solidarity with the characters.

Abstract:
L'objet de cette thèse est l'étude du rapport entre la Religion et la Science dans le mouvement réformiste musulman de la fin du XIXème et du début du XXème siècle, connu sous le nom de « ' Islâh » et dont les artisans fondateurs sont Jamâl al-Dîn al-Afghânî et son disciple égyptien, Mohammed Abduh. Notre étude a pour but d'analyser les nouveautés introduites dans ce discours et suscitées par la rencontre de l'Orient avec l'Europe. Les idées religieuses, théologiques et philosophiques de ces auteurs seront examinées afin de comprendre comment ils envisageaient la conciliation entre raison, science et révélation. Une attention particulière sera donnée aux idées de leurs contradicteurs qui s'opposaient à leur vision. Une étude pratique sur le rapport révélation/science et sur une éventuelle approche rationnelle du texte révélée sera vérifiée dans l'exégèse de M. Abduh et de son disciple Rashîd Ri â mais aussi chez quelques-uns de leurs continuateurs et partisans de l'école du Manâr
The subject of this thesis is the study of the relationship between religion and science during the Muslim reform movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the protagonists of which were Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and his Egyptian disciple, Muhammad Abduh. Its purpose is to analyse what evolution this discourse and the meeting of Europe and the East Europe provoke. The religious, theological and philosophical ideas of these authors will be examined in order to understand how they envisaged reason, science and revelation could be reconciled. Particular attention will be paid to the ideas of their opponents. A practical study of the relationship between revelation and science will be verified in the exegesis of Muhammad Abduh and his disciple Rashid Rida and also among some of their continuators and supporters of the school of al-Manar

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Afghani motherhood that highlights the powerful role that mothers play within Jewish cultures while conforming to idealized notions of the Jewish mother within the family circle. It points out how the mother's praiseworthiness surfaces with husbands and sons glorifying her for serving as a protective force. It also cites that Ottoman mothers played active roles in the legal structure of family life, involving themselves in the betrothals and divorces of their sons and daughters. The chapter captures the ennobling manner in which Afghani mothers turn the everyday chore of bread-making into a protective cultural force. It illustrates family relationships that are conducted through bread and known among the Afghani Jews as nan.
