My english classes

Today I have decided to speak about my experience with the english class this year. I have to recognize that I'm not good for english, in fact, in the school my marks weren’t too good. The english class of my school and the english class of the university are very similar, but the difference are the blogs. In my school we never create a blog and write in it, actually, most of the times we worked completing guides and stuff like that. We didn’t used to write so much. However, fortunately University classes look up to develope the writing and speaking topic. I don't want to say that now I´m highly qualified for speak in english, in fact I should learn more of this language, but the blogs helped me to write a bit better. My lacking of english is fundamentally the grammar, that is, conjugate the times of the verbs. I think that write more things, and see movies in english, are better and effective ways that helped to learn this language, because in the same time in that you l...

My favorite subject

Today I'm gonna tell you about my favorite subject this terms. This semester I have a class about ethnography, called workshop ethnography. This class teaching how can we have to do an ethnography; here I learn to use different methods that can be useful to recollect a necessary information for I do an investigation and give us differents techniques and tools for know how are we doing in a difficult experience in the work, because is most probably that it happend, so we are work with humans that most of the time we don´t know and, we can't prevent they reactions. My favorite subject in this class it was  the last unit, because we have to do an ethnography and apply all of the contents that we are learned. In my case, my group and me did our ethnography about the hippie´s life in a little beach called Horcón. This landscape is very know, because in 60´s years took shelter to youngest people that were looking for peace, love and liberty. In our ethnography we can apply a lo...

Claude Levi-Strauss

In this post I'm gonna tell you about one of the important persons in anthropology that I admire, Claude Levi-Strauss. He was a French ethnologist and anthropologist, and have a big influence from Durkheim, Mauss and Boas. Levi-Strauss born in 1908 and in his long life done a big contributions for anthropology.  His works are made about the structuralism theory , triggering a change in the form to study and analyze the tribal societies. One of his works is “La penseé Savage”, that in my opinion is one of the most important, as well as "Tristes Tropiques", because shows to the academy a new perspective about "savages societies"; he thinking that “savages” have a complex structure of thinking, same like us, but organize it different; is organized through the sensitive. This is was a very important for the anthropology, because this was a influence to the change of the way to understand the “study subject” also called “the other”. For this reason I admire him, bec...

Past or future ?

If a had a choice, I´ll choose to go to the past because I´d like to see by myself all those things that History talks about. Most of the time is used to think the past in a huge sever way, at the point that we don't question it.  Also the past has been a really important tool for the groups of power on his motivations to elaborate a official story. If a could change something I would do a lot of things, but one of the things that i’d like to change would be the colonization of the Patagonia, because it was a horrible fact that destruct a piece of own history; I´d try to avoid the killing and extinction of the typical aboriginal cultures of this landscape. Maybe this way could help to appreciate all of this cultures and gives the importance that deserves. I´d like come back to the Maya´s empire and could see for my own eyes their lifestyle, how they constructed their monumental buildings and how they got helped by the stars for construct it. I stay in this period the time that ...

A photograph I like

I like print and save important photos in albums because I think that is very nostalgic and magic , and I love the way that you can travel across the time by the photos. In this post I´m going to tell you about one photograph that take me to very happy moment. I chose a photo that I like very much, because it was in summer of 2016, when I know Puerto Octay, a very small and beautiful place. I remember that  I was sat in the middle on the street because I was caress a dog, and I´m very happy in this moment, I feel very quiet and I didn´t have any responsibilities. Then the dog leave me, but I was still happy, and in this moment my mom take the picture; I, laughing very much and sitting in the middle of the street. It was a beautiful day and always that i lokk this photo I want come back to this moment.

My Favorite Movie

Ufff! is very difficult make a decision about what is my favorite movie, because I see a lot of them. I think that my favorite movie could be "A perks of being a wallflower", because mark a very important stage on my life, and when I was a sixteen I saw this movie every weekend in this year.  Also other movie wish is between my favorites is "The shinning". I saw this horror film some years ago, exactly in 2014 and I love it. I belive that is amazing movie and is very well done; the soundtrack really give the exactly feeling that the film director (Stanley Kubrick) wants. Generally I like movies about horror and mistery, in fact I only see this type of movies when I was fifteen, but now I see all kind of movies. The last movie thas I saw was "Cabros de mierda" directed by Gonzalo Justiniano. This is a chilean movie and is about the Victoria´s village and de dictatorship time. This movie I like so much because give to the spectator a very close impressi...
This time I´m going to tell you about my camera, my favorite piece of technology.  One of my hobbies always has been take a pictures, for that reason my camera is very important for me. I had the camera when I was fourteen years old and was a birthday´s gift from my uncle,  this is other reason for that´s why is very important to me.  I not use my camera periodically,  I do it whe I inspired and when I go to  beautyfulls places. In fact always I travel  carry it.  I like take a off-guards pictures, because show it the real way of the people  is. The last time when I used my camara it was yesterday, when I go to conmemoration in "Estadio Nacional" If I hadn´t have  my camera, couldn´t take a pictures, because is the only that I have, therefore  couldn´t fill my photo almbums.

My career

When I was a little girI wanted be a singer, because since this time I love to sing, actually when I was six years old I write a song and I keep until nowadays. As well since I was a child I have felt atractted with the archaeology. I felt a fascination for the past, and always interested the mistery in the Egypt ruins. After a long time I became interested in others career like dentistry, photograpy and music. But finally I decide for anthropology and archaeology. However I still practicing photography and piano on my own because always they have been my hobbies. I decide study anthropology because is a career very interesting owing to give a lots of tools for the life and gives other way to understand the reality. In the fact when I decided the career that I want never regretted and was my only option in the postulation list. In the moment that I start to go to university I felt confused because everything was new for me and didn´t understand some things in the class. But after a ti...

A country I´d like to visit

If I had to choose one place for travel right now, I choose Mexico. I would like travel to this country now because I traveled there before and my dream is come back, I falling in love from this place. I like Mexico because is a beautiful place, where you can relax and the same time you can learn a lot of  Latinoamerican culture because  have a lot places to visit that have demostrations of culture, for example the maya´s and azteca´s ruins like Tulum, that is a maya´s city located close to a beach in the state of Quintana Roo.  But the ruins isn´t only that I like from this country, the food is soo delicious and very spicy. My favorite food is a nopal, (is a cactus tipical of Mexico) with cream cheese and papaya. The only thing that I hate to travel to Mexico are the eleven hours traveling in aeroplane. The time that I traveled from there I bored so much in the fligth. But when arrived in the country I was surprise myself because is amazing
