Popular Art

Hi guys!
Taking advantage of today was the "Day of the cultural heritage" in our country, I will talk about one of the oldest heritage that we have.
It's about Popular Art :)
The popular art, is tha art of common people, is more closer to handicrafts. This art, is not related with series production or with legitimation of control and power directly of the authority.
Along of all american continent, the pupolar art is present in cultures since inmemorable times. We can find it in different instruments, artefacts, ornaments, tools, even in the wardrobe, and this can be made with different materials: ceramic, stone, brass, wood, glass, fiber vegetal, fiber of animals, gypsum, among others.
The importance of the popular art for history, lie in show us the different cultural expressions that come from the people, those artisan records that not come from powers of domination or economy. This art is apart of all those.
In addition, through these we can visualise diverse sphere of social life and his practises, such as religion, work, education, beliefs, medicine, rituals, among others.
Is really interesting! :)
Bye, have a nice week :)

Performative Archaeology

Hello Class :) 

On my presentation, I want to talk you about performative archaeology. 

Performative archaeology is a branchof the archaeology family. This archaeology approaches it's subject matter on a perceptive way. appealing to feelings and experiences, mainly visual and tactile to better understand the materiality. 

This is a type of archaology that uses tools of art and social anthropology for a better understanding. It's like to ask oneself  What does this mean? And respond thinking for yourself What do I think when I see it? What do I feel when I touch it? 

This discipline is classified as postmodern archaeology for most archaeologists.

I choose this topic because I discovered a short time ago there was this current within the various branches of archaeology.

I also chooe this topic because I study social anthropology, and performative archaeology is very close to my discipline. Both play with the archaeological material and try to give a new, creative and different approach to the archeological record.

To structure my presentation, I will first a general introduction to the subject as I previously put.

I will say that is performative archaeology, and what makes it.

Then, I go into detail about in the topic for explain how the discipline works and how to reach the material record, name the ways in which it has been studied, where, and who are the authors who have developed this current. For example Michael Shanks, who has studied from the meta-media lab.

Finally I will explain a little more as the performative archaeology becomes an interesting alternative to study and lear from the past.

I hope you like my proposed topic, and any suggestion are welcome :)

I hope you have a nice weekend ;)

Music and food :O

Hi!
This week technology is the protagonist of our blogs.
Well, my favorite device are my headphones and Junaeb sistem for to buy merchandise and lunch :')
First, my headphones are really importants to me, because I come from a rural zone. There is a calm and peaceful place, there aren't loud noises of transport or industries.
When I arrived to Santiago (3 years approximately), these noises were very disagreeable, and the horn make me hate the capital, because of this, I buy a pair of pink headphones in store of a station Universidad de Chile in subway.
Because it became my headphones in output pollution of the city. Whit them and the music, my days in Santiago were increasingly pleasant, but always I have the responsability to use it with caution, to volume low, I use it every days.
I think my life would be without them be a chaos :(
In second place, one of my favourites technological artefact is Junaeb card. This piece of plastic allows me to buy all the food of the month, and this makes me happy. I got it by means of the university, together with others scholarships of Junaeb, since three years ago, and I use it every days, march to december :3
If I haven't it, I would very hungry :(
Well, that's all :)
See ya later ;)

Mi first day :3

Hi guys
Some people say "A picture is more valuable than a thousand words"
In this chance I show you a photograph a little sentimental.
It is about my first day of school, is a good photo for me, my house looks in the back and me.
 I'm walking to the school with my pink bunny backpack <3 I remember who had given me that bag at christmas.
In this day began my memories, before that I did not have any memories. I also remember that day, two of my classmates cried because his mothers left them alone in a unfamiliar room.
On the contrary I was very happy, I love meeting new people and the room was full of colors, and the preschool was nice and entertaining. We did sing very pretty songs, we played, paint and smile.
Approach at twelve we say goodbye and went to house.
I was very happy and I really wanted to return the next day.
Next day I discover that my kindergarten aunt called Natalia too. Since this moment we love so much.
