The narrative finds belonging not as a static identity, but as a continuous, tactile engagement with the material world. By drifting between winters in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, the story weaves together the sorting of ancient middens with a memory of London's contested urban spaces—where a graffiti-covered bridge and a tented sanctuary challenge the boundaries between public architecture and private survival. Through this grounding of sensory reflections in the physical act of sorting, the work unfolds the broader human struggle to find permanence in a transient world, and suggests how the act of creating order from debris might serve as a universal strategy for re-rooting oneself within the river of time. Ultimately, the narrative transforms the intimate labor of an individual into a lens for exploring the ways we might find and inhabit a sense of belonging amidst the displacement and chilly isolation of modern life.</p>","PeriodicalId":53597,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology and Humanism","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/anhu.70081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147299875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What begins as a celebration of working-class resistance takes an unexpected turn when Murat shares his family album. Through this intimate domestic encounter, the narrative explores the complex intersections of class solidarity, state violence, and necropolitics in Turkey.

No one explained to me why, but eventually I found out: In the 1970s, Korean women fled farms for cities, leaving South Korea's rural men stranded. South Korea's solution was to import <i>Joseonjok</i> women from China. Busloads of rural Korean bachelors shopped for <i>Joseonjok</i> brides from matchmakers who peddled girls like produce at market.

The woman's monologic voice dramatizes the fact that her experience of cancer diagnosis takes the form of an alienation of the self from everything around it. In this sense, what is central to this piece are a series of questions around the <i>unhomeliness</i> of being in the world. What happens, phenomenologically, to the patient upon cancer diagnosis? How is the existential dislocation of their world following a cancer diagnosis registered and experienced? What is the place of language and particularly the place of one's native language and second language in the articulation of this sense of foreignness?
