famous anthropologist

Bronislaw Malinowski (7 April 1884 – 16 May 1942)
Malinowski was a polishanthropologist (sometimes considered the most important 20th-century) pionner of the discipline, specially in field work.
In 1914 he traveled to Papua New Guinea and his work about the theTrobriand Islandsis really famous, and he arrived on that island for politics problems (World War II) .
In 1922 his book Argonauts of the Western Pacific was published and become a masterpiece and this book was created in a very particulary way. He is often referred to as the first researcher to bring anthropology the everyday experience . This give us a deffinition of ethnography as: “to the way to grasp the native's point of view, his relation to life and how to realize his vision of his world”.
I chose this author because his is one of the first people who went to a really native place to study the locals in his very nature and pure context by the way of ethnography, that`s mean staying for a long time with the natives.
I find it kind of romantic job. I know this sort of job is now quite hard (perhaps imposible, I don`t really know if there still exist a native without contact with “western culture”), but is just a dream job.

Earthquake experience

On "that" nigth I was in my home, in Santiago. I just arrive from Valparaiso. I was in a small bicycle trip (from Algarrobo, just one night on the road) with my girlfriend.


That could be irrelevant, but is not, because we tought to stay one other nigth, and by sure, the earthquake, on that case, will found us in a crowded disco or something like that. That was what we did the last nigth (thursday), and we wanted to repeat that.
But the case was very different, and boring. I was just slepping in my bed when the eart star to shake.
I went to the door frame with my brother and one friend of my brother and, off course, wait till stop. I chilled out quite fast, but the my brother`s friend was really warried about his family.
I did`t have electric light for the next 6 days, but I`t was find. I read a lot on that days and it was kind of fun to eat with candles every day.
I know I was really luckyin comparation with others.
For us (my family) was just another experiency (well, my mother was completly freakout till this days).
