Sinopsis

What is Economic Anthropology
 
The field of economic anthropology is one that endeavors to provide an explanation for human economic behavior throughout the broadest possible historical, geographical, and cultural period. The fields of economics and anthropology are brought together in this work. Anthropologists are the ones who engage in this practice, and it has a complicated relationship with the field of economics, which is a discipline that it is extremely important to. The work of Bronislaw Malinowski, the Polish father of anthropology, and Marcel Mauss, a Frenchman, on the nature of reciprocity as an alternative to market exchange was the impetus for the development of this subfield of anthropology. To a large extent, the field of economic anthropology is concerned with the study of trading.

    An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
    Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
     
    ‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
     
    Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
     
    This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
      
    Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.

    "Foster" by Claire Keegan tells the story of a young girl who is sent to live with relatives for the summer, away from her own family. The narrative explores the stark contrast between the girl's chaotic home life and the quiet, structured world of the Kinsellas. While staying with them, she experiences a different kind of care and affection, learning the value of silence and personal growth. The story delves into themes of family dynamics, loss, and the significance of unspoken connections. The girl forms a bond with the Kinsellas, who have their own history of grief, and is touched by their kindness. As the summer progresses, she navigates her changing emotions, creating an understanding of herself, before ultimately returning home, forever changed by her experiences.
