Abstract:
This study examines the narratives of the Afghan Taliban through their poetry, contrasting the dominant Western portrayal of the group as violent extremists with their own self-representation(Johnson, 2013). Using postcolonial theory, the research explores themes of Watanwali (nationalism) as reflected in Taliban poetry, emphasizing its role in expressing Afghan culture, social norms, and identity. The analysis highlights the Taliban's use of poetry to convey grief, pride, and a profound connection to Afghan traditions and land. Incorporating elements of Afghan language, religion, and tribal c

Abstract:
Afghan Dari literature has undergone renewal since the beginning of the 20th century. Changes in content, then in form, were reflected in the work of the country's poets and writers with heated debates. One of such poets, Boriq Shafei, played an important role in the introduction of modernity to Afghan Dari literature. By studying his work, one can understand the "new poetry" in Afghan literature, the scope of its themes, its content and essence, and its significance in social life. At the same time, analysing the poems helps to comprehensively understand the importance of the "new poetry" sty

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 insu

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:
‘Abd al Hamid Momand (d. ca. 1732), a greatest Afghan classical poet at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, was the author of Pashto poetry. He created a unique individual style, which was different from that of his predecessors and greatly influenced subsequent Afghan Pashto poetry. However, because of the complexity and eloquence of his style, his work has been understudied inside and outside Afghanistan. The authorship of a set of ghazals by Hamid is questioned by the authors of this article, with some forty works defined as controversial. Methods of digital stylometry are applied to d

These two figures are giants in the history of literature in the Afghan highlands, but their works have never been translated and only rarely studied.
