Why the World Needs Anthropologists
Mundane energies
This article takes the case of heating the body to show how non-commodified energy forms make up part of the thermal landscape in Pahari villages, like Gau, in the Indian Himalayas. In Gau, the person is a resource as well as a beneficiary in the household, and through the activity of labour, the person produces energy which heats the body in the winter chill. This energy helps ensure the capacity to continue to do work, as it safeguards the body…

Applying theory on mat…
