ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that writing—as remediation— is perpetually open to change; that writing—as process—necessarily responds to the political and cultural events within which it takes place. Although the full impact of the US withdrawal remains to be seen, it results, as with the initial invasion of the Afghanistan in 2001, from a protracted neo-imperial agenda—a war against a nebulous ‘network’, fought in the name of the national grief, paternal arrogance, and accumulative the global and financial capital. The resurgence of the Taliban, as with its emergence in the 1980s–90s, remains, at least in part, a result of these colonial praxes.
