With it, sex is integrated into the calculations of power, making discourses on sexuality and the technologies of normalization of sexual identities an agent of control over life. This text will encompass the transits of a very particular body, liminal, a transvestite body: the body of Lola Puñales. Lola Puñales, is a figure that allowed us to approach a body that is difficult to grasp, manage or administer by the biopolitical circulation and regulation systems and their governmentality. Through her, we will try to characterize what could be termed as 'resistant lifestyles', incorporating, as an articulating trope andsynthesis, the concept of a 'rare crowd'.","PeriodicalId":125575,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133359550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question is now where we go from here and does this trauma will leave a permanent epidemic marks on our civilization like happened in history? The world don’t want to visit those dark areas happened in early. But now this Novel COVID-19 created a whole new ball game where the entire world came into the pitch and ultimately the entire community leading to psychiatric illness. The potential of museum personals is now has been challenged to create meaningful experiences for the civilizations to overcome from this pandemic situation which is central to their service as a champion tool to identify the social values of the communities. As agents of trusted institutions the museum personals specifically the museum anthropologists are facing challenges to overcome from these challenges of inclusion and diversity and the difficulty of navigating complex social issues in this isolation situation. The healing process of our societies after the COVID-19 crisis will be long and complex for many museums as places of meeting and learning for societies. Museums have important role to play now to repair and strengthening the social fabric of communities which are affected due to this pandemic. “Governments all over the world have taken necessary measures to stop the virus from spreading, by closing schools and public spaces, and especially Museums. Billions of people have been confined to their homes, and the number keeps growing. During this period many museums and museum personals are finding ways to keep engage the people with the museums and ICOM as representing the international museum community, calls on policy and decisionmakers to urgently allocate relief funds to salvage museums and their professionals, so they can survive the lockdowns and continue their vital public service mission once it is over, for the generations to come out from the situation,” the council announced in an statement on April 2. As Museum Anthropologist we used to study history, archeology and anthropology as Humanity and with this Humanity we study what makes us humans. Anthropology and history like a source has reminded us that humanity has faced lot of similar challenges in past and that this pandemic is really not unprecedented. Though these thing has been a part of culture since millennia and even only a hundred years ago similar challenges has been faced by our ancestors. Museums and Museum anthropologists needs support to make the humanity understand what collections means to you and what the collections may represent to the future anthropologists during such pandemic situations.","PeriodicalId":125575,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal","volume":"39 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116005218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, the literature is sparse, and the few studies that have been conducted have been primarily on animal bones. However, since it has been shown that the complete dissolution of a body in acid is more of a theoretical occurrence than a real one, we sought to focus on this particular aspect and to gather the latest findings from the literature. It has been shown that traces of human teeth and bones can still be effectively detected even after immersion in acidic substances through Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) analysis. Furthermore, compact bone has been identified as the best substrate for investigating the human nature of acid-immersed bone remains. Thus, it is necessary for forensic anthropologists (and, of course, pathologists) to be aware of the critical issues involved in approaching a body immersed in acid, as well as the analyses that can be performed to uncover the clues that may lie in microscopic traces that can be easily overlooked.","PeriodicalId":125575,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130011618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In situations of conflict and fragility, the social contract is often weakened or broken, leading to a breakdown in trust and legitimacy between citizens and the state. This review utilized a qualitative approach. Data was collected through key informant interviews and focus group discussions with individuals such as teachers, local health workers, and community leaders who were selected for their knowledge, access, and credibility. In addition Rapid Response Assessment was conducted on a monthly basis to gather real-time data on displacement and the host community. The study finds challenges, it is crucial to understand the specific dynamics of the region, including ethnic tensions and lack of basic public services and infrastructure. The study recommends implementing a social contract can promote inter-ethnic cooperation and reconciliation, provide a framework for the provision of public goods and services, and encourage democratic participation and accountability. Engagement of a range of actors in the peacebuilding process and addressing underlying causes of conflict are necessary for the success of the social contract.","PeriodicalId":125575,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134620964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conceding to his recommendations, dogged by obsessive fear of the Russian invasion of India (Thorburn, 1894), the northwest frontier region of the Indian Peninsula, popularly known as the “Borderlands” was separated from the mainland India and, created as an independent state; named Pakistan in 1947 to serve as a “Frontline State” juxtaposed to the “Buffer State” of Afghanistan (Andrew, 1880) under the garb of an independent homeland for Muslims in India on religious grounds (Wink, 1991) (Chandra, 1997 ). However, being suspicious of imminent revolt by the local population, especially the Punjabi peasantry resulting from the British purge during their rule, Sir Andrew strategized the concept of fragmenting the “already polarised” Muslim community into two distinct segments; the elite class as the ruling component unflinchingly loyal to the British and the non-elite segment, though in majority but clutched by “the devised mechanism” of the religion of Islam. Conceiving the idea of “Bigoted Fanaticism”, he envisaged an impenetrable demographic defensive line against any invader from the northwest (Afghanistan) and the west (Iran) (Andrew, 1880). Based on his conclusion that “in these border lands (Pakistan) to have a rival in prestige and power would be dangerous; to have a superior would be impossible”, the British nurtured the chosen elite to rule the country but, geo-strategically serve the western interests. This is how the legacy of the British rule is still entrenched in which “the Religio- Populist Dogmatism” plays the most crucial role in the national politics. A study had been conducted to investigate the genesis of the religio-populist dogmatism in Pakistan which has always been employed as the most potent instrument in political campaigns in Pakistan by every political party irrespective its religious inclinations.","PeriodicalId":125575,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Ethnology Open Access Journal","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
