Militarism shaped the physical dimensions of childhood in Tajikistan during the Tajik Civil War (1993–1997). Even in civilian zones, children interacted with military artifacts during daily play: children made slingshots from gas masks, played on rubble, and constructed whistles from bullets. Through a qualitative study exploring space construction and normalization among Tajik youth, the article examines the role physical remnants of militarism played in their childhoods. The analysis of their narratives explores how youth navigate and understand environments shaped by conflict.

战后青年时代：塔吉克内战在儿童时代留下的身体和社会残余

塔吉克内战（1993年至1997年）期间，军国主义塑造了塔吉克斯坦儿童时代的身体形态。即使在平民区，孩子们在日常玩耍中也会与军事文物互动：孩子们用防毒面具制作弹弓，在瓦砾上玩耍，并用子弹构造口哨。通过对塔吉克青年空间建设和规范化的定性研究，文章考察了军国主义残余物在其童年时期所扮演的角色。对他们的叙述的分析探索了青年如何驾驭和理解冲突形成的环境。
