Sarah Bond – författare

Trade and Taboo addresses the legal, literary, social, and institutional creation of disrepute in ancient Roman society. Tracking the shifting application of stigmas of disrepute between the Republic and Late Antiquity, it follows particular groups of professionals—funeral workers, criers, tanners, mint workers, and even bakers—asking how they coped with stigmatization. In this book, Sarah E. Bond reveals the construction and motivations for these attitudes, and to show how they created inequalities, informed institutions, and changed over time. Additionally, she shows how political and cultural shifts mutated these taboos, reshaping economic markets and altering the status of professionals at work within these markets. Bond investigates legal stigmas in the form of infamia and other marks of legal disrepute. She expands on anthropological theories of pollution, closely studying individuals who regularly came into contact with corpses and other polluting materials, and considering communication and network formation through the disrepute attached to town criers, or praecones. Ideas of disgust and the language of invective are brought forward looking at tanners. The book closes with an exploration of caste-like systems created in the later Roman Empire. Collectively, these professionals are eloquent about economies and changes experienced within Roman society between 45 BCE and 565 CE. Trade and Taboo will interest those studying Roman society, issues of historiographical method, and the topic of taboo in preindustrial cultures.

Nominated for The Stage Debut Award for Best Writer 2025And in the Muppets, right, there's this bit where the one with nee eyes and the one that looks like a pink dildo with fur on top go to Scrooge and they're like 'here man it's Christmas, give us some money for poor people', and Scrooge is like 'nar because I pay tax for prisons and workhouses ya mug.'. . .So aye. It's not great being poor.It's tough being sixteen. You always smell like Lynx, you're supposedly in your prime (cherry flavour is the best thanks for asking), and your future is knocking at the door. . . but who decides that future? Your teachers? Society? Or a strangely perceptive Zoltar machine hidden at the back of a South Shields arcade?Sarah Bond's Seagulls and Sad Sad Stories is the inaugural winner for the 2024 Richard Jenkinson Commission. Three young lads, hoping for the answers to their maths exam and which girls in their year they stand a chance with, find out more than they bargained for when they put the question of their future to a mystical fortune teller.Faced with harsh realities, cruel stereotypes, and an unnaturally persistent seagull, they must decide whether the perceptions of others will determine their entire life or whether they believe they're worth so much more. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Laurels Theatre in Whitley Bay, in December 2024.
