Some Thoughts regard my career

 Thinking in the study programme of my career (archaeology) and career it`s give me ambivalents feelings. They are think that I frankly love and others that I just hate with everything I have. 

I like the atmosphere of the people of my career -the teachers and student- usually it`s very relaxed but in the last year or few years it had changed a bit, now they are more students that they ever where, most of them are crybabys and have broughts with them a lot of stress, they have changed some of the most relaxed and flexible -in terms of managing times- teachers in a monster of puntuality and inflexibility. It`s a bit sad but maybe I`m overreacting and it`s just a particular or two generations that are so, and with time things will be back. 

If we think in the curruculum I like that we have common years with anthropology, in our context of work it happen that we not only work with dead contexts but with a living context, with "indeans" groups or local people, so our formation must have a high degree of social anthropology. Things that I don`t like about our subjects, it`s the focus of them, we have a lot`s of the subject prehistory, and I hate that, beginning with the name: there is not a thing called prehistory, it`s ridiculous, there is not a thing before history. Second Chile is a long country, and it`s fair that we see what had happen with all the zones and culture even if we later don`t work with them. But I think that the focus in the subject prehistory shouldn`t be the exposition of things that have happen but how the archaeologist have thought in the prehistory of that place what methods they have used, how they interpreted the data obtained and constructed, how to read an article, searching for the logic behind it. 
The reason behind this is that one forget easily what have happen, and the studies go fast, so in a short time the information you have is outdated. When the focus is more related to the metodology, logic and how the data is constructed it`s better, it`s harder to forget, and even if you forget it you know how to read, how to identify it with ease and that is more useful.

Other think that I love about my career are the "terrains" or fieldwork, you don`t have many of them but they are a very good experience, with pratice it`s easier to learn, to understand what you were reading, and it prepare you with your future job.

Holidays

 Thinking in holiday most of times is a synonymous of thinking in things I would like to do.  and that involves reading many books that i couldn´t read along the year like the diskworld serie or the sense of the human form Maturana. Other thing that I would do is playing some videogames that i couldn´t play like the witcher. 

About places that I would like to visit I have no idea, but I think I would travel to the Quisco with my family as we do usually, go to de beach, other towns and cities around.

About working it depend, if it surges a terrain (field work in archeaology) I would go to the north for around 2-4 weeks, it will be tiring but also it will be fun and a good experience.

 

Thinking in people I would love to meet,I realise that most of that people are autors of books, and yes, most of them are dead. So let´s just talk about a one of them. About these that are dead I think that Oriana Fallaci has a special place somewhere in mine hear, maybe because in her book she is always there, you can read something that she had written and in a few pages if not inmediatly you know that it´s her doing even thought that iniatialy you didn´t know that what you where reading was made by her. I love how her writting style, it´s a very straigforwarth style, she doesn´t have hair in her tong when she write, she is sincere, and she can express perfectly what she is feeling. It´s a bit weird but you can feel what she is feeling. in one word her style is humanized, it´s like earth, you can touch it, feel it, eat it. 
Jeje, I have only written about her style but nothing about her. She was born in Italy in 1929, when she was a child she helped the antifacist faction that her father was part. Later she become a journalist, she had written a lot about the war and later about the islam, her first works were about vietnam and the vietcong. She made a lot of interviews, most of her subjets were important people like Henry Kissinger, Golda Meir, Arafat, revolusionist, people that today we catalog as terrorists. Fallaci didnt only write articles, or about war, She write also novels some of them based in her own live and others were ficcion. 
The first book I had read form her has "letter to a child never Born", the first time I had that book in mine hand I had 4-5 years, obviusly I couldn´t read it but the cover of that book was greepy and gave me goosebumbs, later when I learned how to read I had a first attemp but my mother took the book and hide it, she say that I was to young for that book and that I shouldn´t read it. things that are taboo ussualy have a sort of magnetic force, years later, I think I had 14 or 15 years I found it again without searching it. I don´t know if I can say that I loved or liked the book, It´s a excelent, schoking book and a "must to read" book, also is one of my favorite books. other of here work are "interview whith history", "the force of reason", "rage and pride" and many others. 
Maybe I can´t meet her but I think that if one day I travel to Italy I would visit her tomb, and left some cigaretts.
