Future Life

Hi classmates! Today I will talk about my ideal future life. I expect in five years I will finish my carreer (Anthropology) and I 'll be doing a magister of social anthropology in genre in europe (maybe france or spain , i'm not sure yet) and i will be thinking of making a PhD in something related with genre too( or I hope that). In relation with my personal life I hope , at that time, not be dependent of my father (at least in the economically aspect), so I wish to be independent as soon as I can , because I hate borrow money to my parents and I like earn my own money.
In the other hand I don't think I will be married yet. I also hope to be living outside the country for have more experience and conect me with more people who are interest in the same studying areas like me.
Well I thing that's all for now.
See you at next class!

The Best in Your Area


Today i'm going to talk about Mircea Eliade, but he's not an anthropology like we can understand with a definition of a dictionary. He's most a philosopher than an anthropologist.

Mircea Eliade is a romanian historian of religion and a fiction writer. He written a lot about myth , how to understand it and how it works in some cultures. I think his most important book is "myth of the eternal return". In this book he explain how time works cyclically , and where it had a wear time and how throught rites that mimics the original time (how things where in illo tempore) the time can be renewed.
To summerize, I think this is one of more important person in my area, because he analize myth , religion and how time operate in some tribal cultures.(or thats the work that i know about him at today so i can only talk about this subject and not another that he can talk in others books)
