 I would like to take advantage of this blog to comment something I’m very happy about. Lots of people say that consumerism is most pristine expression of neoliberalism, but ¿who could resist to buy half price books? I would like to confess that in the past Cyberday I spent my savings on books (forgive me, Marx), what else could I do if Buscalibre had them on half-price, only problem is that they will delay close to a month, blessed patience. Between more interesting books I bought it’s found “the adventures of merchandise” of Anselm Jappe, book that I thought would be useful for my thesis project, thing that my professor sharply denied (maybe I should have asked before buy it), therefore, it would have to wait in the bookshelf until it’s time comes. The other interesting book is “the cheese and the worms” of Carlos Ginzburg, a story that tell us the ravings of a middle-aged miller named Menocchio, who believed that the world was a huge cheese, from which the angels were formed that we

  For a long time, I didn’t know what to study, I went through several careers before arriving to anthropology. I studied in the health area like medical technology and biotechnology, however, I always knew that what I liked had to do with letters more than biology or maths, that’s how I get to anthropology. I think that what I most like about mi career it’s that allow me the chance of thinking and imagine different possible worlds. In my opinion anthropology provides tools to understand in a holistic way the world we live in, which let us see and analyze the society from a perspective open to differences. The best is that when studying and learning about other cultures, allow us to understand that how the world that we live in is organized not natural, but built, and therefore it’s possible to transform it. On the other hand, and from a most personal perspective and around mi preferences, this career let me do what I most like, to read, to discover and know, and if I could make of tha

  The best concert i have been on was a Black Sabbath concert. The band came to Chile the october 4th of 2013 and presented in monumental stadium. The best of all was that the show had the original band members with Ozzy Osbourne as a vocalist. I remember that year i traveled from Osorno to Santiago, so me and some Friends rented a departament. Around 45000 people went to the concert, who listened the classic songs such as “Paranoid”, “Iron Man”, “Children of the graves” and “N.I.B”. The show was inaugurated by the band Megadeth of Dave Mustaine. Most curious was that the concert was on a farewell tour, so they weren´t supposed to return to the country, obviously this didn´t happend and the band came back in 2016, nevertheless, the fact of seeing this two classic rock and metal bands on live, has been one of the most spectacular and exciting experiences on my life.

I would like to go to Mongolia, its in Asia. Its located between Russia and Chine. Its capital is Ulan Bator. The country is very interesting to me because of it culture and traditions. This country has 3,1 million inhabitants, of which 30 percent are nomads and seminomads. Mongolia is the country with lower density of population in the whole world. The people there, use horses as their main transportation, actually there are as much horses as persons, or even more. If i ever go to Mongolia, i would like to travel the mongolian stepps by horse and meet the nomand people. What i most like of the country its their traditional costume and unique music. I also find very interesting their gastronomy, the fact that they make food with high caloric indices, because of the cold winter that they have.I would like to stay in the contry time enough to travel and get to know it well, but i wouldn't like to stay there for living.
