In Bloom!

Hi everyone! Today, I transported me back to the past for tell you about a memorable song for me. Now, I don’t hear music in english practically but I like it. When I was younger I used hear grunge music,  the most popular music style of 1990’s, I think. That’s a popular subgenre of alternative rock emerged in Seattle and  sometimes a misunderstood style. My favorite grunge band is Nirvana because aphaty and disenchantment are reflected in their lyrics but sarcastically. When I was 13- or just like that- my father gave me Nevermind, second album of this fantastic band. I can still remember how good is this album and the many times I heard it. Those  years, those signs of subtle irony  and changing sound delighted my ears and I can to feel a little of those desire of freedom  and rebelliousness very well expressed in their songs.  Well,  although my musical likes have been diversified I still consider myself a big fan of this genre. I have good memories of every song of that album but I think  those called In Bloom  is a  good sample of that I’ve say. It’s a remarkable parody about musical performances of 1960s. Good music and funny video, I think. I hope you enjoy it! ( but mainly I hope work put up the youtube link…)

My computer

Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about my computer, my favorite piece of technology. I don’t like technology so it’s the only exception. I received my first computer when I was 11 and it was the best gift I received, I think. Today, I can’t conceive of life without it. When that computer died I needed to replace it and my father bought other one, three years ago. Now I need to buy a new computer because this one is old and slow and to have a computer is essential for me. I almost always use the computer because I need it for everything I do.  My computer is my main tool of study, for example. But the most important thing I do with my computer is to spend my time, I must to say it. I always ask me, how I can live before without it and I don’t understand it. I love my computer. In my computer I have my music and good books and since I hate the phone I use my computer for to talk with my friends. Apart from that I love games on line like Dofus or Grepolis where you can to create your own virtual world  with characters included and creating a strategy to destroy others gamers…

Anthropology

Hi!
Today, I'm going to talk about my career: the Anthropology. I decided to study anthropology many years ago, when I still was in the school. I was very interested about the discipline because I read some books written by classic anthropologist like Malinowsky or Evans-Pritchard before and motivated by their interesting ethnographies I chose this career.  In general, anthropology is not a well-known career and many people ask me all the time "what is anthropology?"… and it’s very difficult define it, so I won’t to do it. But if I must to say something about anthropology I’d stress how different is the perspective of this discipline if you compare it to viewpoint of other disciplines.  Anthropology allows revealing social realities and to wonder about social aspects commonly naturalized, I mean, those that for custom are established without questions.

An anthropoligist requires knowledges about methodological aspects for obtaining information from the people and then to process and to analyze it.  Besides a good  anthropologist must to being a systematic and  emphatic  person  in the field work.

Now, I’m a student of social anthropology but at the first I decided   to study archaeology, other specific area of the career and changed my mind. When I started to study archaeology, I felt a little lost and I realized that I don’t liked it, so I thought about to choose other thing to do.  Then, I chose social anthropology like area of specialization the next year and I have no regrets.  In this area I’ve found some topics of research very interesting for me, mainly those related with urban anthropology. Many people think that anthropology is about to study the “exotic” or “distant” people and this area shows a different application in anthropology, I think. Other subjects I’ve enjoyed were the ethnologies, mainly Mapuche.

A place...

Hi Everyone:

Today I’m going to talk about the most recent trip that I’ve done. I went to San Pedro de Atacama in springtime, the last year. I can say after this, San Pedro become my favourite place, at least among those I’ve visited in my country. Some people say that to stay there is just a mystical experience… I think that it’s a place with a singular atmosphere, a very quiet place. So, I love it.

This time I went with four classmates- and closed friends- of the university and I really enjoyed their company… the most part of the time, I mean.  Our aim, in theory, was be present in the VII Athropology Congress, but We really were very interested to take this opportunity to know or re-visite some emblematic places, too.  Fortunately, though we had too much things for to do, finally we did almost all we wanted. We visited the Moon Valley and the Dinosaurs Valley in a cheap tour, for example. But, doubtless, the activity that I loved was to ride a rented bicycle and to go calmly for the town’s streets.

It’s a place I’d recommend, all the way. San Pedro de Atacama is an attractive place especially for anthropology students like us. Here We can to find beauty and impressive landscapes as well as places with a historic/ cultural value, and it’s a good place for visit in anytime of the year.

So, I’ll come back there as soon as possible, I hope so.
