ANILA DAULATZAI Tuesday, March 1 4pm MIT, 16-220 Gesture, Gender, and Ethical Practice in Kabul, Afghanistan This paper sketches 'gender' - the word and the concept - as it travels in Afghanistan's capital Kabul as an anthropological object of investigation. The larger emphasis in this paper, however, lies in the attempt to shift the ways an investigation of gender in Afghanistan may be conducted - from what I call the 'thing-ness' of gender as it manifests itself discursively in Kabul, to the ways gendered subjectivity gets constituted and re-constituted through affects and embodied practice in the everyday. Anila Daulatzai has conducted research in Afghanistan and Pakistan since 1995. She worked on reproductive health issues among Afghan refugees and internally displaced persons in camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan and holds Masters degrees in Public Health and Islamic Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is currently a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at the Johns Hopkins University where she is completing her dissertation based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork on widowhood and care in Kabul, Afghanistan.
