My favorite subject

Well, is kind of hard to think about this we are at the end of the term and all we want to do is just finish with every thing the best that we can and run far far away. But I think that the best subject I had this term, and I have to say that unlike others I had a lot of good curses, is Economic Anthropology. This is a social-cultural curse taught by Andres Aedo, and it has a lot of great readings like Marz, Polangy, Godelier and others that study how different cultures and societies deal with how to produce and reproduct them selfs whith the resources that they have and the economic relationships that they can mantein with others. This is great because you can understanda lot of our actual society and the way thar it's organized, just by studying how others do it, in a process that is called "un-naturalization" of the economic laws that we have being told are universal and necessary.
This is the first part of the curse, and the second is about exactly the contrary: we study all of the economic theories that ruled the occidental world from the beggining of XXth century until now, and thar really makes you understand how our country has being built and also how many of the laws and dessitions that people say are only economical are trully polithical and the other way around.

  1. Camila,

    I know what you mean when you say you want to get away from it all for a while.
    Well, persevere, persevere, persevere...!
    Just a few things to correct in your post. Be careful with ‘we’ve been...’, and the spelling of ‘course’ (unless you really think that some courses are a curse!!)

    Well, IT is kind of hard to think about this WHEN we are at the end of the term and all we want to do is just finish with every thing the best that we can and run far far away. But I think that the best subject I had this term, and I have to say that unlike others I had a lot of good courses, is Economic Anthropology. This is a social-cultural cOurse taught by Andres Aedo, and it has a lot of great readings like Marz, Polangy, Godelier and others that study how different cultures and societies deal with how to produce and reproducE themSELVES whith the resources that they have and the economic relationships that they can maIntAin with others. This is great because WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE you can understand A lot of our CURRENT society and the way thar it's organized, just by studying how others do it, in a process that is called "un-naturalization" of the economic laws that we have BEEN told are universal and necessary.
