Marshall Sahlins

I think is still difficult to write about my career, although this is my second year. I feel embarrassed but now I don't know any link of an anthropology web site, when I'm studying or bored searching anthropology things I find interesting and meaningful sites, but I never pay attention on the address.

After this I will start looking (and remind what I read) for interesting anthropology on line things.

If I have to choose an anthropologist, today I will talk about Marshall Sahlins. What I know about his life is that now he is an important american anthropologist, because of his perspectives about the society, with a critic economic approach. His anthropology theoretical consist in change "natural" visions or assumptions incorporated on our lifes and social theories, that are funded on liberal and capitalism ideology. His methodology to conclude that, is the anthropology camp work and sometimes the archeology. I like this anthropologist because of his neomarxist approach, his innovative and critical basics and how he writes.

About music

Today I'm going to talk about a singer. It's difficult to me choose one, because I don't have a favorite band or singer that I have been listening for years o that I know everything about his life, but in general I like woman singers and relaxing music. One singer that I really like is Sarah Blasko, she is australian and I think she is in her thirties. What I like of her is the voice and the instruments she use. Also I think she's so beautiful.

I started listening her because of a friend, I listened her a lot at the beginning but now I just listen music sometimes because I’m so busy reading or doing other things. About her, I don’t know specifically what type of music is, it could be pop or indie. What I like is that she sounds great, in her CDs and at the live concerts that I search on the internet. Also I like her lyrics, always are like poetry.

Here is a video of a song called Night and Day.

About me

Hi everyone!

My name is Daniela Galleguillos Henríquez, I'm 18 years old and I live in Santiago. I was born on April 16th, 1994. I have an older sister and we live with our parents. My sister's name is Karol, she's almost 23 years old and studies near to us at UMCE.

I have two pets that are part of my family. A dog named Laura who has about 11 human years, and a much smaller dog named Brownie.

I studied at a scholl near to my home for 10 years and a year ago I started studying anthropology at here. It was difficult at the beginning because I wasn't sure what it was, what was the work of an anthropologist in society and things like that. But now I'm pretty sure what I want to be.

I would like to talk about my hobbies. I really enjoy walking at parks or beautiful green places. I like watching movies at my computer with my sister or my boyfriend, but my favorite movies are Hayao Miyazaki's ones.

I would like to play an instrument, but I've never tried to learn one, maybe I'll do that some day. Nor practice any sport, but in a few weeks I'll begin to use the bike every day to go to university, because I'm sick of buses and crowded subway.

Regards, and I see you next class!
