Kirsten suggested.Da: Hun vidste ikke, hvorfor Niels så stresset ud.En: She didn't know why Niels looked so stressed.Da: Niels så nervøst på sit ur.En: Niels nervously checked his watch.Da: Han vidste, at noget var ved at gå galt.En: He knew something was going wrong.Da: Men han nikkede modvilligt.En: But he nodded reluctantly.Da: På det samme tidspunkt vrimlede det med hekse og monstre, der fejrede Halloween.En: At the same time, witches and monsters swarmed around, celebrating Halloween.Da: Musikken spillede højt, og børnene skreg af glæde.En: The music played loudly, and the children screamed with joy.Da: Niels blev mere og mere ængsteligt.En: Niels became increasingly anxious.Da: Da de endelig nåede til pariserhjulet, var det lukket for aftenen.En: When they finally reached the Ferris wheel, it was closed for the evening.Da: “Kirsten...,” begyndte Niels nervøst.En: "Kirsten...," Niels began nervously.Da: Men lige som han satte sig på knæ, snublede en mand i monsterkostume ind i ham, og ringen fløj ud af hans hånd.En: But just as he knelt down, a man in a monster costume stumbled into him, and the ring flew out of his hand.Da: Kirsten udbrød et grin.En: Kirsten let out a laugh.Da: Manden undskyldte klodset, mens både Niels og Kirsten ledte efter ringen blandt de faldne blade.En: The man clumsily apologized while both Niels and Kirsten searched for the ring among the fallen leaves.Da: I stedet for at blive irriteret, besluttede Niels sig for at tage en dyb indånding.En: Instead of getting annoyed, Niels decided to take a deep breath.Da: “Det hele er lidt kaotisk,” sagde han og mødte Kirstens blik.En: "It's all a bit chaotic," he said, meeting Kirsten's gaze.Da: “Men det handler ikke om perfekte planer. Jeg vil bare spørge, om du vil gifte dig med mig.”En: "But it's not about perfect plans. I just want to ask if you will marry me."Da: Kirsten smilede strålende.En: Kirsten smiled brightly.Da: “Ja!” svarede hun enkelt og lagde sine arme omkring ham.En: "Yes!" she answered simply, wrapping her arms around him.Da: Sofie, der havde observeret det hele fra en distance, slap et lettet suk og klappede i hænderne.En: Sofie, who had observed everything from a distance, let out a relieved sigh and clapped her hands.Da: Niels havde lært en vigtig lektie den aften i Tivoli.En: Niels learned an important lesson that night in Tivoli.Da: Det handler ikke om planernes perfektion, men om ægte øjeblikke.En: It's not about the perfection of plans, but about genuine moments.Da: Han behøvede ikke alt til at være perfekt; han havde brug for kærlighed, og det havde han fundet lige der, blandt kaosset og grinene.En: He didn't need everything to be perfect; he needed love, and he found it right there, among the chaos and laughter.

Castoffs of Capital: Work and Love among Garment Workers in Bangladesh (U Minnesota Press, 2022) examines how female garment workers experience their work and personal lives within the stranglehold of global capital. Drawing on fieldwork in Bangladesh, anthropologist Lamia Karim focuses attention onto the lives of older women aged out of factory work, heretofore largely ignored, thereby introducing a new dimension to the understanding of a female-headed workforce that today numbers around four million in Bangladesh. Bringing a feminist labor studies lens, Castoffs of Capital foregrounds these women not only as workers but as mothers, wives, sisters, lovers, friends, and political agents. Focusing on relations among work, gender, and global capital's targeting of poor women to advance its market penetration, Karim shows how women navigate these spaces by adopting new subject formations. She locates these women's aspirations for the "good life" not only in material comforts but also in their longings for love and sexual fulfillment that help them momentarily forget the precarity of their existence under the shadow of capital. Through richly detailed ethnographic studies, this innovative and beautifully written book examines the making and unmaking of these women's wants and desires, loves and tribulations, hopes and despairs, and triumphs and struggles.
