Hi Classmate, how are you?? Today´s topic is what postgraduate studies I consider taking in the future. Like a say in another post, I like to work in gender issues. I always worry for injustice and discrimination, and I think that the gender issues touch me more because I´m a woman and have lived and sense what its feel, that make me more empathic. I would like to work with different woman of different places and cultures, because I feel we learn from each other. I think it´s could be interesting take the opportunity of study in other countries. In that way you can know how is to live in some other place. Also, lately I would like to live in England, because I want to know there culture, I like because they have a long history. But the most relevant factor to me in order to choose where study is the quality and specialization of the University in the gender´s topic. I wish I could have the resources for study full- time, but I see it unlikely, the only way that’s c...

Hi classmate Today I’m going to tell you about my favorite writer. A time ago, I discover a Latin-American writer called Gioconda Belli. I read some of her poems and a novel call “The country under my skin: memories of love and war”   She is a Nicaraguense woman who wrote about how she live the process of revolution in her country. She was part of the guerrilla and tells us how all that change radically her life, because she was a middle class woman and a housewife, but she decided fight against the dictatorship of Somosa, and joined the ranks of the “Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional” known as FSLN. In the way she had many adventures, she fall in love of a soldier of the FSLN, transported weapons, and wrote about the liberation of her country. She was taken in prison and forced into exile, first in México and then in Costa Rica. For all that,  she change not only the way she look the world and the society, she change her marriage, maternity and career, ...

In Challa time nobody gets angry! Many people think that in Santiago and Chile in general, we don’t have carnivals, and when we think in carnivals we imagine Rio´s Carnival o Barranquilla Carnival. But the fact is that in our city we have carnivals since a long time ago. The history of carnivals goes back to the European middle age, when celebrate charisma time. But the native people of Latin-American also have carnivals who celebrate harvest time and different moments of the annual cycles. So, the carnival we have now it’s a mixing of these two developments. The “Challa carnival” is one of the most ancient carnivals of Santiago. The tradition of “challar” come from the Andean Culture (Who had carnivals since pre-hispanic times), and mains spry water and liquid as a form of blessing things and person, and in carnival contexts it´s use as a game where everyone gets wet. That celebration was common in the country in summertime, and with the people migration to the city, it be...

Hi Classmate! Today I´m going to talk about how I imagine “my future job”. In the first place, you have to know I study Anthropology, so my future job it´s have to be related with that. A time ago I thought that I want to do others stuff, related with art and plastic, so I “frezeed” the career and I explored in that area, but cheerfully in that way ended up working on things related to anthropology. Funny, do you think so? So, after three years I decided come back and finish my career. That’s why my dream job is in the anthropology studies.  I don’t strive for a high salary, only want live fine and easy. Now I have a job as free-lance in the Quality Education Agency, of the Ministry of Education, analyzing information of interviews and as research support, but I do that because I have to maintain myself. What I really like to do is working in gender issues, that it´s what I love, and that´s why I like to do a major en gender in some other place, like a México or...

Good day fellows, Today I like to talk about the series. Lately the series are the trending topic everywhere. If you dont see one, you dont have anything to talk in meetings and parties, you´re a outsider. The internet and the “netflix” are contributed a lot to this phenomenon.  Most people dont watch open TV anymore, it´s more simple dowload all the season into your computer, and dont have to wait a week for knowing what happend. In the digital age nobody want (or have the time) to wait, everything have to be right now. There´s all kind of series, for all the tastes and preferences. Drama, mistery, romantic, action, comedy, triller, no genre is left behind. But, of course are the favorites, like Game of thrones, or the classic, like friends. My favorite series in the las time, it´s Sherlock Homes, a police genre, inspired in the novel of Conan Doyle. It´s perfect, have everything and it´s so fun, I really recomend it to you. You all ready know, if you want clear y...

Hi classmate, The topic for today it´s the holiday. I have to say that my best holiday, by far it was in 2012 when I visit México. I have a great time, mainly because I went with my best friend at university, and we don´t have many money, but we were able to visit a lot of places and cities. We stayed for a litle more than a month.   The original idea was just to go to a congress called FELAA, which mean “Latin American Forum of Antophology and Archeology Students”. We was selected to present one of our works to the university. But we thought it was better stay a litle longer and grasp the oportunity to be there.   So, we stay like a week in D.F., the capital of the country, because of the congress, also we visit the Museum of Antrophology, the house of Frida Calo and a lot of archeological sites. Then we went to the beach in the Pacific ocean, to Masunte, in the state of Oaxaca, were living some friends. It was magnific have the oportunity to know other ...

Hello classmate, Today I’m writing for the first time in the blog, because have problems to take de signature. Anyway, I would talk about the country would I like to go. First, i want to say that I love travel anywhere, that one of the reasons why I choose study anthropology, I ´pictured me like an “Indiana Jones” having adventures around the world. So, choose a place to visit its difficult. But, always I have a strong feeling of curiosity for Grecia. The reasons it’s many. In first place, is because the beautiful beach, the color of the sea and the sand, and of course the nice Mediterranean climate, which is perfect, because is not too hot, and is not too cold. I see me lying in the sand with my book, just enyojed. Another reason why I like to visit Grecia is the architecture. Not online the natural landscape is amazing, but the urban landscape too. I would love to see the cities, the modern cities and the archeology ones. The culture of this country is v...
