  abstract = {{R}emoteness is as much about a position in topological as in topographical space. {R}emote areas might look inaccessible from the outside, but, for {A}rdener ({A}rdener, {E}. 1989. {T}he voice of prophecy and other essays, {M}. {C}hapman (ed.). {O}xford: {B}lackwell), feel open and vulnerable from the inside, as their connectivity with the outside world is never fully controlled by locals. {D}rawing on material gathered in northern {C}had, we argue that this lack of conceptual reciprocity can also lead to the opposite: a trope of permanent aggression, based on the local endorsement of external negative stereotypes. {F}rom the outside, the ‘locals' are seen to be archetypical raiders, thieves and uncouth. {F}rom the inside, people concur in these descriptions to a surprising degree, insisting on their disorder, unpredictability and violence. {T}his endorsement of alterity grants northern {C}had a particular place in {S}aharan history, geography and ethnography.},
