ABSTRACT
PRODUCTION
AND
DOMINATION
AFGHANISTAN
1747-1901
My
objective
in this
work
is
to
provide
an
anthopo1og
ica1
analysis ofthe
historical
processes
through
which
structures
of production
and
domination
were
reproduced
as
a
totality
from
1747
to
1901
in
the
present
territory
of
Afghanistan.
To
bring
the
changing
articulation
of
structures
in the
total
system
into
sharper
relief
I
have
opted
for
a
combination
of
temporal
and
spatial
frameworks.
The
period
from
1747
to
1901 forms
the
unitof
long
duration
for
the
first
part
of the
study.
Within
that
period,
depending
on
the
changes
in
one
or several
of the
elements
within
a
structure,
I
have
chosen
an
appropriate
conjunctura1
unit
-
such as
1840-1901
for
the
changes
in
the
system
of
inter-territorial
communication
-
to
high
light
therelevant
changes.
In
part
two
f
I
deal with
two
main
units of
long-durat~~n,
roughly
1500-1722 and
1747-
1901.
The
choice
of the
conjunctura1
units
within
each
of these periods
is,
again,
determined
by
changes
in
thesystematic
relations
among
elements
composing
the
struc
ture.
Thus,
for
changes
in
the
patterns of
long-distance
trade,
the years
1500-1622
are
demarcated
as
being
significantly
different
from
the
following
one
hundred
years.
