Abstract

ABSTRACT After the end of the USSR, the mobility infrastructure in Tajikistan followed a trajectory of decay. Transport systems had to be reorganized, mobility practices had to be reshaped, and some areas became less accessible. Meanwhile, new international connections have emerged thanks to new political openness. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2014 and 2022, this paper offers an empirical analysis of the nexus between remoteness and connectivity by looking at the evolution of physical infrastructure in Tajikistan’s VMKB province over the past thirty years and discussing the rather contradictory yet simultaneous processes of internationalization and marginalization.

更遥远的距离，更紧密的联系?1991年以来塔吉克斯坦帕米尔高原的交通便利性和新的国际联系

苏联解体后，塔吉克斯坦的交通基础设施呈现出衰败的趋势。运输系统必须重新组织，交通方式必须重新调整，一些地区变得难以进入。与此同时，由于新的政治开放，新的国际联系已经出现。基于2014年至2022年间进行的民族志田野调查，本文通过观察塔吉克斯坦VMKB省过去30年物理基础设施的演变，并讨论了国际化和边缘化这一相当矛盾但同时发生的过程，对偏远与连通性之间的关系进行了实证分析。
