I received my PhD thesis (October 2022) at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, to engage with the image and notion of the Afghan Pamirs as an ultimate frontier and to explore the relational and perspectival qualities of remoteness. Through the study of three movements of daily life (borderland trade, pastoral economy and migration), I located the effects of their representation in the framework of the successive military and humanitarian interventions that deeply, and most violently, affected Afghan lives.
