Geo-racial governance or legal exception? Deconstructing post-merger legal developments in Pashtun Land
Trauma in the Newsroom: How Routine Practices Shape Gatekeeping in Pakistani Media
This research investigates the news production processes and decision-making of Pakistani journalists when covering traumatic events, such as violent incidents, crimes, and terrorism. It employs a qualitative approach, conducting in-depth interviews with 50 journalists, including Directors, Reporters, Editors, NLEs, Cameramen, and Photographers from print, broadcast, and online media outlets across Pakistan.

Transgression: Afghan Refugee Women as gelumjum
This paper argues that as part of a discursive strategy to securitize Afghan refugees in Pakistan, their womenfolk were labeled as gelumjum (a euphemism for prostitutes). Problematizing the othering of women refugees as transgressors, we discuss the structures and material conditions that forced Afghan women into prostitution as a livelihood strategy in the absence of societal cushion. It also discusses gelumjum as a problematized identity, a tra…

Journalism as War: Tracing the Predatory Culture and Economy of the Pak-Afghan Cross-border News Practices
Based on in-depth interviews with ethnic Pashtun war journalists, this study explores the cross-border news practices and its underlying economy in Pakistan’s troubled tribal region that straddles the Pak-Afghan border. We argue that the structural remnants, including media, of the British colonialism of the past continue to boost the neo-imperialism of the present. Several studies have examined the war reporting in the Pak-Afghan border space, h…
Pakistani military’s rhetorical construction of an Indigenous civil rights movement
For the last four decades, Pakistan’s northwestern Pashtun tribal areas have been in a constant state of imperialist wars. In reaction to this organized violence, a local civil rights movement, the PTM, emerged in 2014 which powerfully challenged the military’s discursive regime that legitimates these US-led wars. However, the military challenged the movement’s call for justice by launching a concerted discursive drive to construct an enemy image…
Ethno-Territorialized Bodies: Necropolitics in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas and Non-violent Organic Resistance
For the last five decades, a neoliberal war has been raging through Pakistan’s Pashtun Tribal Areas bordering Afghanistan. The State of Pakistan has been an active shareholder in this never-ending “war on terror.” The State’s biopolitical and racializing policies continuously reproduce the logics through which the Tribal bodies are conveniently and invisibly subjected to a regime of death and maiming. In an attempt to unsettle the State’s biopoli…
Theater of Public Punishment in Pakistan: A Discourse Analysis of Demand for Public Hanging
This paper investigates the discourse of public hanging of rapists on the social media space, that is, Twitter in Pakistan. It also examines how this discourse is interdiscursively related to the power relations particularly implicated in the discourses on religion and gender and the possible effects of this discursive struggle on society. By employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) for analysis, this research uses Laclau and Mouffe’s Discours…
Trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder among regional journalists in Pakistan
This study sought to examine work-related exposure to trauma and predictors of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms among regional journalists in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, a conflict-ridden area in northwest Pakistan. We recruited 216 KP journalists. Analysis of the surveys revealed a high prevalence of trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms. All of the participants had covered at least one trauma inducing event. Exposure to work…
