In this chapter I turn my attention to reconceptualising masculinity and the codes of honour that shape gender expectations in Kabul. Initially prompted by how often young women mentioned their fathers as a source of their strength and success, I complicate simplistic orientalist tropes applied to Afghan men of warrior or terrorist. Given the complex and contentious history in Afghanistan and the deployment of gender for political means, this section will give a layered understanding of gender as intersubjective and historicized experience. I explore the conceptualisations of honour, as nang, namus, sharaf, and qairat, and argue that their definitions in English are tenuous at best. Yet, through exploration of these cultural and social frameworks, and their deployment of piety language, we can understand the experiences of masculinities in the country. Indeed, this chapter contributes to post-colonial masculinities as a response to orientalist depictions, and as shaped through art praxis. This chapter advocates for composite masculinities that are deeply relational and conditional to time, place and space.
