ABSTRACT Collective identities like Islamic, kinship and geographical affiliations commit people to norms and practices of social ordering and influence their everyday practices. This article discusses how collective identities commit people in southern Tajikistan to patriarchal and authoritarian ordering and conflict settlement in view of unequal and contested distribution of power. A commitment to such illiberal norms and practices legitimises an exploitation of marginalised people. It discredits and prevents their discontent, court deals or open resistance. Furthermore, patriarchal and authoritarian conflict management ostracises rivals and/or suppresses those who criticise a hierarchical distribution of resources, co-optation deals, and patron-client exchanges.

社会秩序和冲突解决实践的象征合法性：塔吉克斯坦当地政治中集体身份的作用

摘要伊斯兰，亲属关系和地理背景等集体身份使人们遵守社会秩序的规范和惯例，并影响他们的日常习惯。本文讨论了由于身份分配不均和竞争激烈而导致的集体身份如何使塔吉克斯坦南部的人民实行父权制和专制秩序和冲突解决。对这种非自由规范和惯例的承诺使对边缘化人民的剥削合法化。它有信誉并防止他们的不满，法庭交易或公开抵抗。此外，家长制和专制的冲突管理排斥竞争对手和/或压制那些批评资源，分配协议和赞助人与客户交换的等级划分的人。
