Levi Strauss, a big fish

Today dear friends I will talk about Levy-Strauss, an important academic who made greats contributions to anthropology.

Claude Levy-Strauss was a french anthropologist. He started studying philosophy but with time, sociology, geology and other topics attracted him more. In 1934 became in teacher of Sociology at the University de Sao Paulo. In that place he with his first wife (who was ethnologist) made his first studies of other communities. Since that time, he travelled to Europe to other continents for studying other cultures. 

His form of made the knowledge was a innovations to anthropology, because for him what anthropologist should search was the unconscious structure of people, where the culture hidden; all of us are different but we can understand between us because all structural minds work in the same way. In relation to that, other important contributions were the theory of the alliance and structure of myths. This theories take alliance an myths with another perspective (structural), so through them we can find the structure of society. 

I know him because in my career have a course dedicated to his work. First I don't understood, but when I learned his methods, I believe he was brilliant. 

Thanks Levi Strauss for your mind, you will be always a big fish in anthropology

Movies

Today I’m going to write about movies :)

When I think a thing that I really enjoy to do (beside other things like spend time with my friends, family and boyfriend) come to me movies. For me, watch movies is a way to see in other feelings of human person, that I felt in past or feel in present.  I don’t know if this happen to you, but for each occasion (that is for each emotion) I have some favourite movies to watch.  So, when I’m happy I search in recommendations of Itunes to see a movie. When a choose one go to my computer to watch. But not always I see movies like that (it is means searching), most of the time I seat in the couch and turn on tv hahahaha. In my house we have satelital tv so frequently channels are transmitting good movies.

Sometimes people ask me what are my favourite movie. I can’t answer that!!! It is impossible for me choose one, or two, or three! So I made a list with my favourite five movies:

1.          Harry Potter (all)
2.          About time
3.     Pride and prejudice
4.      Jane Eyre
5.     He's just not that into you

When I was in Tercero Medio, I did a list with all movies that in that time I saw. I remember that almost was two hundred movies! Today I’m in second year of my career, so the number of that list obviously grow.

And you, remember the number of movies you have seen?

Thanks for reading, until the next post :)

Freak data: I can’t see horror movies, I really scared by them.
