CELLULAR


I love my cellular, it´s not very modern and technologic, but I like because it alloy’s me is communicate with my family. I´m from Puerto Montt, because this I don´t travelling constantly to my house, the only form for communicate is the phone, and better form is mobile phone (cellular): because this is enabling the communication in any place.


My cellular is very antique. In fact, I use only for speak and send message to my friends and my parents. Because this It´s very special for me. I love my cellular, not for the object or this capacity, but for allow me to be near to love people for me.


My cellular is very special, because is a gift of mother of my boyfriend. Before, I have other cellular, many mere technology and modern, but last year it was fall me in the toilet. For the damp it was die. For this, and because I don´t have money for to buy other cellular, the mom of my boyfriend gift me your old cellular.

Los Jaivas


Los Jaivas are a group of chilean rock, characteristic for convination of rock with Latin American rhythm and Andean instrument. They are very old, they are more 40 years: The group was make in Viña del Mar in 1963. They are considerate one band influential in the history of music in Chile and take away of South America. Los Jaivas have been characterized by the exploration and fusion of different styles, from the tropical music of their starting point, through improvisation and avant garde style of jazz, classic rock and Latin American fusion.

May bee, the most great masterpiece was the musicalizacion of poems of Pablo Neruda: Alturas de Machu Picchu and covers of Violeta Parra and Victor Jara.

A criticism to Los Jaivas is this anti-politicals stand, quite the opposite of what happened in the time, where groups with Quilapallun, Intiillimani and Victor Jara, had a clear position and political participation. The Jaivas`s musics were call to peace and unions of the chilean society, this is because they were hippies.

Actually of the original band only were two integrants: The original band were Eduardo “Gato” Alquinta, Mario Mutis, Gabriel Parra, Eduardo Parra and Claudio Parra, now only were Claudio Parra and Mario Mutis. Because Gato and Gabriel are dead and Eduardo was retire of the band. But the new formation is composed for the son of the member. Los Jaivas are most that only a musical group, Los Jaivas are to family.

My Favorite Anthropology: Marvin Harris


He was a American`s anthropology. He was born at 18 of august in 1927 in Brooklyn and die at 25 of October of 2001 in Gainesville. He was studied in Columbia and he was teacher in the Columbia University and Florida University. He was applied the cultural materialism at the anthropology.



He is important because applied the materialist theory of Marx at the anthropological theory. He meets in his theory to greats authors as: Malthus, Kroeber, Steward and White, creating so a theory of the human development that implies a material dimension and symbolic dimension.
He defines the socio-cultural reality in three levels:
· Infrastructure (the elements in the society that not visible, but was very important for this society)
· Structure (institution and material elements)
· Superstructure (ideological levels, it`s explains with natural the social and cultural reality)


He defines two concepts very important in anthropology, overcoat in ethnography: emic and etic. The emic dimension is the explanation that the community considered valid on their actions. The etic dimension is the scientific explanation that an outside overlooks such acts.
