MY FAV SUBJECT THIS TERM: ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY

This semester I've enjoyed a theoretical subject called "Anthropology and history". We have class every Thursday for one hour and a half. In class the teacher talk us about the relationship between anthropology, history and literature, every class he explain a book and puts it in a larger context, linking it to other authors, perspectives, theoretical fields, etc. One of the things that I like most about the class is when the professor talks to us about his experience studying the history of the whalers in the south of our country, he gets very excited and that is why the students have named this branch for years as "whales." He is also a very adorable man, is very flexible about our times and does not exploit us academically.

In past classes, we have passed the relationship between anthropology and history through time, the ethnography of the past, microhistory, ethnographic narrative, among other topics. Something I specially enjoy about are the readings we have class to class. I also have to admit that one of the things I like about this class is that there is a very relaxed atmosphere.

Rita Segato

About the visit of Rita Segato to our university,

 I'm going to write about her.

She is a feminist anthropologist,

born on August 14, 1951, in Argentina.

After finishing her PhD studies, she became

 a professor at the University of Brasilia.

 there begins with his studies of gender

 violence, moving later to Ciudad Juarez.

The vast majority of their works talk about 

the patriarchal structure, making visible, 

apart from the gender,

 race and social 

class in Latin America, as a colonial and

 oppression mark. Some of his most

 recognized works are "The elementary 

structures of violence",

 "The nation and its others",  "The 

writing on the body of the

 murdered women in Ciudad Juárez",

 "The new forms of war and the body of 

women" and

"Build strategies to eradicate gender violence"  

Regarding my interest in her, I am impressed not only by her ability to analyze

 patriarchy, but also by her emphasis on the community, her perseverance and 

the tenacity and authenticity of her struggle
