Favorites subjects

This is my second year studying anthropology, and since i've been doing it, i haved learn a lot of stuffs. As many of the FACSO carreers it is so much demandant with the lectures. Actually, this mean to be so much time reading papers and articles for at less 5 subjects every semester, and this is often very stressing. Fortunately, i have learned to get going with all of these stuff and actually i can say that i enjoy it a lot ( most of the time).

Well, and to tell you in short what i think that is cool with my carrer i'm going to talk you about 2 or 3 things that i've haved really enjoy. First of all, in first year i had a subject called "Historia Latinoamericana" with Daniel Fauré as teacher. This subject was really exciting beacause it was a really new way to understand the historic processes, not just as times secuences, but as structural processes of identity constitution of historical subjects, it is kind of an anthropologic way of doing history; Daniel always said to us: "When you do history you're trying to be on the other people's shoes, to get inside their eyes and try to understand what processes were they passing by", among other stuffs. Another subject that i really enjoyed the last semester was "Etnohistoria", a curse that is in charge of the proffesor André Menard, and is an all invert way to see the history; when we talk about "history" we often ignore so much part of it, and this happens beacuse the official history is written by privileged people wich actually had won a simbolic fight, a right to write his own history. Doing history is often a mere exercise of relating a bunch of events  that doesn't search to develate the truth, but to stand an own truth that margins a minority from the "officials events". And finally, another great subject that i haved apllying for is called "Antropología II". I guess this is my favorite one;i really enjoyed this curse. Dimas Santibañez is the teacher in charge, and in his curse we see all of the theories that emerged after the evolutionism apogee, in the middle 20th century; these are the first ideas and definitions from we understand nowadays as "culture", as all of those features that envolved the process of living in every society/human group arround the world and through the time, understanding this procces as unic and unrepeatable, on is own terms.
And that's it, those are 3 of my favorites subjects since i were on this carrer, hope you enjoyed it.
