This monograph, drawing from ethnographic interviews with Pamiris from Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO), Tajikistan collected between 2021 and 2023, investigates how Pamiris continue to respond to rupture, using memories of past ruptures to position themselves within their own cartography of Pamir. Ordered chronologically, this monograph begins with memories of pre-demarcation Pamir and moves through the Soviet period to independence and the Civil War, coming to contemporary Pamir's reconnection with the Ismaili Imamat and global Jamat through the work of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). For some, the memory of rupture takes the form of (im)mobility and a fear of coming too close to the border, while others turn to creativity to make sense of the ruptures around them. Through oral narrations and material artefacts, Pamiris learn, feel, and recreate a Pamiri cultural identity which provides continuity in times of rupture, helping younger generations to experience the interconnection of the lifeworld in which they find themselves and, ultimately, imagining Pamir through emotion and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiona Katherine Naeem\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ethnologisches Museum, Berlin, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 178\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42771148046432,"sku":"9783119144407","price":107.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/mabDzxhrry9783119144407.webp?v=1779771058","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/pamiri-lifeworlds-memory-and-rupture-in-gorno-badakhshon-autonomous-oblast-tajikistan-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
