Bemused
Hi
What does bemused mean?
Elders were bemused and at times rather irritated by anthropologists’ singular obsession with the eating of bodies, for they insisted that cannibalism cannot be understood apart from the entire complex of mortuary rites and mourning behaviors aimed at reshaping emotional and spiritual relations between the living and the dead.
Thanks in advance
