Geertz Rules!

When people ask me why I choose him, I just answer: "Because he is a genius".
Clifford Geertz was born in 1926 and died in 2006 in USA. He was considered "the most influential anthropologist in the USA". Although I was not anthropologist, I had a PhD in Harvard of Anthropology and was the best! And also, he has a honor mention; Award for Distinguished Contributions to Asian Studies (1987). His occupation was being a teacher in Institute for Advanced Study until his dead. He writed a lot of papers and books about his fieldworks when he has travel with his wife, trained as an anthropologist.
Anyway, there are many of information about his personal life but I think that is not important in this context, because I want to highlight his academic life, especially about his work called "Deep play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight". Here he explained in a different way the human actions. It's very interesting because he used literary tools like narrative to finally raise a reflection of the village hierarchies through the "cockfight", this lets us see that we can make anthropology studies in anywhere!

But every work of him has some special that can you inspired!

Human Evolution is the best!

In anthropology we have a lot of subject but, the most interesting was Human Evolution. Is the subject that I enjoy this semester because I really learn a lot that I like and thanks for it I got to appreciate the past from another perspective. In class we usually talk about the biology and anatomy but the main content that we see was primates that explain the Human Evolution, that include any evolutionary timeline from the ecosystem. I choosed Human Evolution because that is really necessary for the future in the job that we choose, the scientific part tells a lot of thing about the culture.

Something special that enjoyed was make survey to a work called “Evolution and Society”. We met some people from Santiago that practice another unusual religion; I talk about “Hare Krishna” from the Indian continent. We compare this with the catholics and this two groups become very similar! 

That makes me think that every religion takes a structure, and what they think about the evolution topic has not different at all, all of them think in his god like the one creator of the humanity.

I really enjoyed do this work and his relationship with the biology!
