An Anthropologist That I Admire

 



Rita Segato is an important anthropologist and feminist activist, she was born in 1951 in Argentina, she graduated from the Universidad de Buenos Aires and currently she lives in Brazil, where she works as a teacher at Universidad de Brasilia. 

Segato has dedicated a big part of her life to research about the gender violence, race and coloniality, focusing on a latin and spanish context. Her most remarkable publications are: “La crítica de la colonialidad en ocho ensayos y una antropología por demanda” (2015), “Las estructuras elementales de la violencia” (2003), “El sexo y la norma: frente estatal, patriarcado, desposesión, colonidad.” (2014), “La guerra contra las mujeres”, among others. 

Due to her contributions, wich have been in charge of sustaining the feminst theory, make it visible in a scholar and international field and spread it with new approaches and perspectives, that she is considered like one of the most important exponents of the feminst theory in America Latina. 

I like her because she since her field has ensured has been in charge of the research about problems that have affected women for centuries, and that pose a big challenge for the contemporary society, due to the effort made to overcome them  and so that we can all live in a less hostile and violent environment.

A Country That I Would Like to Visit

Imagen
  My dream is to travel to Greece for vacations and stay here for a month and thus get to know every corner of the country. The thing that I Know about Greece is that this country is very interesting and diverse due to having beautiful landscapes, volcanoes, beaches and a lot of history. One of the reasons why I wanna go to this country is that I love learning about history and Greece is considered the cradle of western culture therefore if I can go someday I would learn a lot in this place. Moreover, the other reason is that I really enjoy making trekking in nature, especially the hills, and Greece has a lot of hills and mountains to do that. In this way, once in there,  I would like to spend a whole day in Mykonos swimming in the sea and taking sunbathes. On the other days, I would like to take different city tours to archeological sites like the Parthenon, Delphi, The acropolis of Athens, and many others.

My Favorite Object

Without a doubt my favorite object is my Kindle, this is a small and very light electronic reader. One of its many advantages and that is also what sets it apart from other devices such as tablets    or ipads, is that it has electronic ink which makes the screen looks like a page of paper. This allows me to be reading more comfortably for a whole day and without getting tired of my eyes or my head hurts, as is often the case with the computer screen. I think that it's a comfortable and friendly way to read without having to print all the texts, buy books or be in front of the screen for a long time. In my career I have to read several texts every week, so this device has really saved my life, plus the battery lasts quite a bit (I charge it every 2 weeks approximately) and being small its size I can easily take it everywhere.
