Zombies!!

Today I'm going to tell you about something I knew a little while ago. About ZOMBIFICATION!!!



He told us that both Christianity and Voodoo are religions that still live in Haiti; but voodoo remains a taboo in society for all the years of trying to eradicate it. This religion is associated with the zombification process: a REAL PROCESS according to this teacher!


A few days ago a teacher who had been three years in Haiti, went to talk us about this country.

According to the internet, a zombie consists of a dead man resurrected by magical means by a sorcerer to turn him into his slave. However, the teacher told us that the most common thing in the tradition was to zombify someone for two reasons: for adultery (in women) or for treason. Through the mixture of different ingredients (among which is the poison of a puffer fish, bones and human remains) a powder is made that is inhaled and turns you into a zombie. This posion damages your central nervous system for life, and makes you look dead; without facial expressions, without any will, and with an emaciated appearance. Undead.

According to the professor, the French conquerors when they learned about the properties of this posion, began to occupy it to have more slaves. Now, zombification would be banned in Haiti. He thinks he saw at least two zombies when he visited Haiti.

Do you think this is real?

Future?

Hi all!

Today, I will talk about what kind of job I would like to have in the future. This post is related with the past post, because many things that I think in the past for my future, still present now, including the uncertainty....hehe
 The labor field of the anthropology is very difficult, so I'm not very secure about my future or what kind of job I would like to have, but I think I would like to do many different thing at the same time. I would'nt like only to work on what I studied, because I have always rejected the routine. I would like mix differents jobs and hobbies, or changing projects often. One of the things that i'm sure is my taste for travel for all the world applying what I learned in anthropology, and while maybe work in other thing. I would like to make a film or documentary on an interesting topic of anthropology. On the other hand I would like to work on some public proyect or something similar where I can contribute something with my knowledge...Sometimes I think that I would like teach, or maybe study other career like dance. I would love mix the dance with anthropology and make a experiment with both disciplines. As you can see I like many things and I'm very indecisive:( But, I think is better think about the future when i'm there...

Social Anthropology

Hi all, this time I will talk about my career and the reasons why I chose it.


Well, when I was a kid I wanted study many things and also I wanted to travel all over the world. At the school, I wanted study theatre or some career associated like dance or physical education, because I really liked sport and performance. But with the time, when I was an adolescent I started prefer careers related with indian history and past like archaeology or pedagogy in history. Finally when I had to choose the career for my future I decided to study anthropology, because I liked archaeology...a beautiful career that mixing many things that I liked: history; dinosaur; travel and new cultures (different ways of seeing the world).I imagined me travelling for all the world, meeting different monuments of different cultures. But with the time in the career, I realized that I liked much more what happened with the people in the present in relation to the past. On the other hand, I think that I can help to solve human problems much more in social anthropology and also this career combined my desire to travel and my taste for differents societies.

 
Actually, I so happy learning about anthropology theory, etnography,  differents cultures and others types of life in the modern context.

In the future, I would like work in differents places of my country, and later in other countries of América. I would like to be a contribution to these societies and not only an academic more.

"Nocturnal animals"

Hi, today I'm going to write about my favorite movie until now.

Some time ago,  my brother and I saw "nocturnal animals"; I really

liked that movie. This film, is about a man who after being abandoned 

by his girlfriend, writes a novel to get revenge and transmit everything

he felt during their relationship and after his breakup. The novel is very

crude and occupies a metaphor that makes us all shake. I knew that after 

seeing it, it leaves you a bit anguished and with a lot of sorrow. When I 

reflected on the movie, it seemed to leave a very interesting message. 

The film, in a very cruel way, make us question the gender roles that we

have built in our minds, and to measure to what extent these can affect 

the other person. It mainly touches on the issue of masculinity, of what 

happens when a man is more sensitive than what is expected or when he

does not fulfill the protective role. It relates the conflicts that a man lives

internally when he is rejected for breaking with these schemes that make

us so unhappy. Please, if you have the opportunity, see it.

My best holidays

Hi all!

In 2017 I had the chance to travel outside the country and know many beautiful places. I had never traveled outside the Chile, so this was a very special occasion for me. I traveled with my boyfriend and his family with which I had a lot of fun. We went to Cuba... a beautiful place that mixing many things that I liked: tropical climate; idyllic beaches with a turquoise color; nature; cuban salsa in the pubs and very nice people... We stay here for about two weeks: one week in the Havana, and other week in Varadero. We met many places like the Old Havana, Morro Castle, The Capitolio, The Malecon, old buildings and the beaches.

Cuba is a wonderful and very quiet place to visit. It's people have a lot of energy and joy. You can tell how different people are in different countries. His life is characterized by being more cheerful, and by relating in community...

This was my appreciation when I visited this exquisite and magical country.

Welcome to Guayana Francesa

Hi. This is my first post of this semester. Today I will talk about the places or countries I would like to visit. Well, I would like to visit many places, but now I will choose only one. Recently I saw pictures of Guayana Francesa, and I realized that this place mixing many things that I liked: tropical climate; Amazon jungle; differents cultures; diverse animals and the few people who go to the country. I love hot climate and I hate the crowds. I doesn't know many things about this place, but I'm sure I will like it. When I stay there , I would like to tour the amazonian jungle and browse it. On the other hand, I would like to know the islands around, the differents cultures of Guayana and their custom and gastronomy. The animals are also something I would like to know.

If I really like Guayana, I would like to learn the official language (french) and maybe live there for a few time.

Blogs

Hi all!

A blog is a website to publish opinions, publicize information, discuss these, or to publish things from your daily life ... There are many people who use them very often to express themselves or report things...Now, I have to say that I did'nt really like blogs before, because is too difficult to me speak in english, and in general, I'm not good at writing about myself or differents topics. But with the time, I liked the experience because it helped me write better in english and express some thoughts...Now I would like to include other topics or other activities related to writing, like an interview, survey or read other publications and comment on them. Refering to the topics, I would like to incorporate topics related with music, sport, art, movies, or other contingent issues that are necessary to discuss in our country like the presidential elections, education, public health, old people, women, inmigrants, children in the Sename, and other. 

To finish, I'm very happy with the experience, I think I learned a lot with each activity and it was very nice to be in class. Also my partners are very nice and funny. Thanks teacher for the experience!
