From the Hum of the Indians, from the Black River those who came later, from Uruguay, from my heart: Congratulations to all in 2011
Happy New Year these days in this part of the world, which is not - even though often we forget - The whole world, a decision rule of cultural and human well-Gregorian to be specific, we are giving off a scheduled time and measured by the cultural tool that is the calendar. It governs our lives to an extent and size really without us too has not only traversed in its entirety, but also largely built. Within the scope of our will and free will. And out of them. It's part of our social contract, determines our strategies and keeps them, the search new solutions to new problems. Who have been mostly wrong. They have been the successes that have enabled the species maintain and increase its niche resourcing.
We are here and now in a new expression of the hunting and gathering strategies. of our ancestors. With new ways to manifest. In a highly globalized world of instant time ago and finite distances, at least on the surface of our little star vehicle, also huge problems threaten, attack and injure the species, everywhere. elites that since the emergence of surplus had to exist to administer, are not wise enough to give us all, that atavistic being who bring essential needs met.
live in a world of mass consumption and destruction of resources almost irrational and stupid and insensitive handling of the meaning of life and nature, the planet itself feels and suffers, and their changes and alterations are always on and the measure of man, acts as a cosmic force is human power, immeasurable and unmanageable.
Friends, all this talk, written from the shores of a beautiful river, whose waters enjoyed my childhood and now adult, whenever I can come, the Black River in Uruguay, at the height of Paso de los Toros, city girl great people, noble and stubborn, often flooded, completely evacuated thousands of inhabitants in 1959 - me and my family including his bed-tamed by dams installed hydropower generation in its channel promised honey and wine their coastal and today are huge concrete monsters, almost obsolete for modern efficiency standards. They are there, subjecting a happy water at other times in their cycles of nature and rich in its range of food resources.
For those who eat every day and those who do not. For those who dig the earth to produce food and those who scavenge garbage to collect any edible organic thing that will one day away from death.
For those who feel sounds of rockets and fireworks in the middle of speech of happiness and joy in big cities rich and those who feel like sounds of missiles, bombs and planes flying over their villages terrifying while bringing death and sadness.
World Migrants Day. The hard work of living is forbidden to forbid
December 18
On 4 December 2000 the General Assembly of the United Nations, taking into account that there is a significant number of immigrants in the world, and that number continues to increase, proclaimed International Migrants Day (resolution 55/93). On that day, in 1990, the Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (resolution 45/158).
Currently, it is estimated that the number of international migrants between 185 and 192 million. This figure represents three percent of world population and is comparable to the population of Brazil. Almost all countries are affected by the phenomenon of international migration, either as countries of emigration, immigration, transit, or even all three at once.
international migration has become an intrinsic feature of globalization.
This reminder of the International Day of Migrants in Anthropology of the everyday, aiming to follow the idea, the efforts and sacrifices of so many people that seeks a just stubborn, and he, in particular the day on which they were honored, where migrants and of course any person, discriminated against because of their sex, race, color, language, religion or belief, political or otherwise, because of their national, ethnic or cultural background, nationality, age, economic status, material wealth, marital status, birth or other status. A world that understands and accepts as normal migration that takes place in a context where apply the norms and universal standards of human rights for all migrants and members of their families. We know the daily press reports in daily abundance, which is in reality far from a situation. Cable
Agency December 17, 2010
Geneva, Switzerland .- Experts from the United Nations Organization (UNO) on the rights of migrants today expressed concern that this year has increased the tendency to criminalize irregular migration. This was expressed by the UN rapporteur on the rights of migrants, Jorge
Bustamante, and the president of the UN Committee on Migrant Workers, Abdelhamid El Jamri
, under the
Migrants Day, to be held on Saturday. "This criminalization causes irregular migrants face discrimination , exclusion, exploitation and abuse at all stages of the migration process "experts assessed.
"key is a day marked by disturbing trends regarding the situation of migrants, both those in regular and irregular situation in the world," he said in a statement.
"We are concerned before the rise of xenophobia, racism and intolerance against migrants and their communities, which sometimes manifests itself in acts of extreme violence against migrants in transit and those in destination countries, "they said.
noted that migrants can easily be prey to smugglers and traffickers. Their illegal status makes these men, women and children are afraid or unable to seek protection and support of the authorities.
"We regret that insufficient progress has been made to fully integrate human rights in the governance of migration," they said.
added that "we want to remind all those involved that migration is a component of development and prosperity of the countries of destination, transit and origin in all regions of the world," he said. reminded "migrants died at sea trying to reach remote destinations despite the inherent dangers of such crossings, under the 20 th anniversary of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and their families.
regretted that the opportunity to be celebrating the successful adaptation migrants to their new environment, enriching their new societies with their cultures, ideas, technologies, skills, and the diversity they bring, is a way to renew efforts to tackle effectively the challenges of migration.
UN experts called on the states that have not done so to accede or ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
Those states are:
United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and other European Union countries, among others.
Brief anthropological and personal reflections
this complex issue is whether there is, as all they do to achieve balance between often conflicting interests if not antagonistic. Migration processes accompanied the lovable old hominids throughout its evolution in the old patient and warm African cradle of the species. Homo made his mobility and ability to discover and cultivate new ecological niches, the main cause their success in survival and evolution. Americans well know. Hunting bands, Homo sapiens sapiens and then crossed Berhing for food and arrived and settled in a wasteland of human. Perhaps something like a millennium later, watched as the Antarctic ice and hunting the local fauna so rich in necessary proteins.
The global world has globalized debt also important food in the world population, energy shortages and that, in the heart of low world market and merchandise, means less work. It also means poverty and hunger. The people exhausted from all the continents look at the countries considered rich in their excess goods and destroying them and thither, like our ancestors are addressed in eager young warriors and hopefully hunt. The risks, uncertainties and probabilities of success and food, between prehistory and today that does not differ too much to pause in careful analysis and reflection.
share with you the following material that serves a really very close to the Latin American and very close to universal man, sensitive to others and solidarity with any misfortune to anyone else.
Mexican actor Gael García Bernal made to Amnesty International, with director Marc Silver, a series of four documentaries on the problems of Central American migrants in Mexico.
Each year, tens of thousands of people trying to get from Central America. Many of them work through nearly 3,000 kilometers between the southern and northern borders of Mexico. Only six months of 2009, the NGO claimed that 10,000 migrants were abducted along the route.
's odyssey began in southern Mexico, including Oaxaca and Chiapas. To arrive there, every day, hundreds of Central American immigrants to the U.S. way. They wait in shelters staffed by volunteers, the arrival and departure of
Beast: a slow freight train that weaves and stops every now and then, along a route of more than five thousand kilometers.
On their journey, migrants are at the mercy of gangs
, the narco - the 72 men killed in Tamaulipas in August was immigrants - and even of actual corrupt law enforcement.
But maybe his biggest enemy is indifference. No one seems to care about their fate.
are socially invisible.
Hence the title of the short documentary producer and Mexican actor Gael García Bernal

Says the actor:
authorities Mexican migrants must protect our country. The law should protect everyone, citizens or foreigners. It is essential that Mexico is a good example for the way it treats migrants
Spain ails you! The Catalan city of Lleida has been a pioneer in banning the Islamic headscarf integral - the burqa - in local and municipal venues.
The ban comes into force today, December 9 in July after it passed legislation in this regard, ratified in October and later endorsed by the courts. The move affects about 130 local and municipal areas, from community centers to swimming pools in this city, where about 10,000 registered Muslims of different nationalities, half of them Moroccans.
"I think the burqa and the hijab, and similar garments that completely cover a face undermine the sense of equality between man and woman, violates the dignity of women" told AFP the mayor of Lleida, Ángel Ros.
"I also believe that equality is something that in our society have fought for many years and there can be no reason, or religious, or cultural-that goes against this basic principle "said Ros.
The new policy states that you can limit access to "persons who bear the full veil, hoods, hats or other clothing or accessories that prevent or hinder the identification and visual communication people ". While
the use of these items is not common in the city but from time to time, the city decided the ban Lleida after a vote of the major local parties in power to defend the rights of women.
The Watani Islamic Association per the Llibertat i la Justicia appealed to the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, the decision arguing that it violates fundamental rights and requested the freezing of its implementation.
The court "had not yet delivered," he told AFP the president of Watani, Murad the Buduhi, because "the council expected to provide documentation justifying the measure." "The only association has appealed the action is the minority group that exists within the Islamic community in the municipality," said the mayor instead.
in Lleida city of some 120,000 residents, have registered most of the Muslims in the region, dedicated to the fruit farm, which requires large immigrant workforce, it said. The court, "for now has ruled that the interim suspension does not requested in the application and the ordinance comes into force" and "will be decided later on its legality or not, "said Ros.
In terms of implementation, Ros said," be warned first and then will look fine if recidivism. "" I feel sorry for have to make this legislation but I have pride in being the first city established a "letter of citizenship 'which includes duties and rights to all inhabitants, especially those who have joined lately," he said.
My thoughts
principle, by social anthropologist by simple man of this world, I deny any and all as full of ethnocentrism. just as irrational. This episode one of them. A beautiful sad example. Begin and remain authoritarian imposing bans. This news coming from Spain is much more sexist and patriarchal that want to protect rather than pretentious. Male gaze, probably and surely Christian West. Infantilizing the Other. Respect the Other in their culture. Learn to look and see it in that context. Do not forbid you do not understand. Gulliver has a lot left to travel. Do not be proud. Let diversity is expressed. Culture is often almost unintelligible in canals and incommensurable with the translation for those who do not belong to it. Dwell on this issue because as Americans we should know as well that is the white European and Christian who are different. While we accept both long history of cultural trait contrary to ours.
little more than 500 years have passed since the English arrived in this land of conquest and superb air of discovery. Then the woman's nakedness meant their native wildness and an inability to qualify for human and animals become suitable and available only to fornication manu militare and sword in hand.
Volume of Todorov and the problem of the Other, the next episode happened and what is worse, told with grace and in favor of impunity, on the occasion of Columbus' second voyage to the land, a story made in a letter to a friend in the Motherland, for a gentleman, a fellow of the current and advocate for women undergoing severe Mr. Mayor of Lerida:
"Women: while Columbus is only interested in them as a naturalist, do not forget this is not the For other members of the expedition Read this story that does the same Michele de Cuneo, a nobleman of Savona, an episode occurred during the second trip, a story of a thousand, but has the advantage that is told by its protagonist.
"While in the boat, I a beautiful woman captive Caribbean, that the aforesaid Admiral gave to me, and after that I had taken my cabin, and while she was naked as usual, I felt like idling with it. I wanted to fulfill my desire but she would not consent to such treatment and gave me their nails would have preferred not to have started ever. But watching this (and to tell you everything until the end) I took a rope and gave him the lashes, after which began a loud cry, such that you would not have believed your ears. Finally we get to be so much in agreement that I can tell you that seemed to have been raised in a school for whores. "
Bravo by Western Christian white male! Humiliated by a woman dressed in brown or even saw, however save the trance and honor, English gentleman finally pure speech and vile scourge the subject as a person and rapes a woman. Just ; beast to tame and teach to satisfy lust of conquest. Of course. Even when the procedure should apply lashes or so. That does not matter.
will not do further analysis. I shall not arguments. Because it should not be necessary. And met all recently, where ban was the way to control where the handling time against each other, kept the old principle of divide and power. I do not know what the Catalan public opinion on the issue. I believe that they will not feel threatened by the hidden body of some Muslim women passing the quiet streets of his village. I feel sorry that intolerance still equipped so rigidly the human mind.
sometimes disgusts me and unfortunately many such hypocrisy chokes. I imagine the scandal that would arm the mayor's good if the Koran in response beautiful women make you taste, take off their burkas and stroll, as of old Caribbean women, naked, peaceful and free at last now if forever, the peaceful and quiet streets and avenues of Lleida.

Reflections and disquisitions of a male Biologically based on the physiology of genital my player, I am a Homo sapiens sapiens male. Nothing more but nothing less. Genetically XY is my chromosome formula. Culturally, I'm inside it, a man, a man opposed to woman biologist. Paraphrase, in deep respect for Simone de Beauvoir
, the man was not born I am culturally formatted. ; I built. I am the product of a number of institutions, most sanctified in the social imaginary. Western culture: family, school, church, hospital, so the state itself through the full weight of its many repressive institutions. Formal or not, legitimate or otherwise, or institutionalized. They were there all of them.
For various reasons, do not try to develop such a broad topic within them is not retail, not feel qualified to tackle such complex holistically in a blog space. Consideration and leave comments if these reflections.
I believe the issue is reduced when treated only from the angle of strong flavor today euphemistically labeled as domestic violence. No, I will not be too radical, but to think faulty construction of the concept semantics want denote. Actually I think we talk about is human aggression, such as equipment installed there by evolution in a predator species, as a survival tool and its implications for modern man in relation to their environment and context for the whole world. The pain caused by violence in their effects, no sex, color, age, species, kingdom, nation or ideology.
The centrality of the problem exceeds and transcends and not can be reduced to the time that develops within specific areas such as privacy of the household and its members.
violence is dry. makes violence on women, do not look as a strategy suitable to separate the issue of other violence. I even suspect a slight scent of continuity macho, in the same manner and for the same reasons, that I gladly accept the existence Women's police stations and the like. In my opinion reaffirms stereotypes that characterize them as weak or infantilize women at least. Again
the male protector, comes at a gallop in his great chestnut stallion to protect maidens and not so much, and orphaned children and in those memorable evenings the matinee on the biographer of my people, when others , adding to them, I endoculturizaba hollywood male and male high school and almost mercilessly.
then I remember clapping joyfully from my soul an altar boy, the timely arrival of alan ladd , quick, quiet, manly and handsome, to defend the weak and helpless widow, trembling, and generous ; provide powerful supportive phallus size 45, trigger happy
benefactor, to work and put health disorder, shoot and kill aggressors irrelevant, all males and men of course. I believed it then and there I find the genesis of my current macho tuff, which overlapped, take them without too much guilt. I saw what I saw. And I understood perfectly what I saw. And movies were suitable for all age exhibited no woman, record, or any part Pudenta things beautiful style and uninhibited sharon stone.
Again the universal stereotype. Female sex weak to generate the potential need for a stronger sex. We must hurt and worry about violence in general.'s also about women is practiced and expressed above all other social actors, the elderly, children, disabled, gays, lesbians, or simply poor, the excluded, the homeless, the other species of animal or vegetable kingdom, with whom we share the global stage and which move with total cruelty. and insensitivity.
Finally grinds me any violence, but also violence symbolic sometimes invisible or numb from the habit of seeing it so often and sequence.
antismoking campaign .....
&/·"%::
So I grind the labeling of this problem in a small space.
We have developed the ability to live in someone else's pain Another growing insensitivity in the absurdity of exciting to levels intolerable behaviors that encourage materialism, consumerism, selfishness. On the day of issue before us and which we speak is not by chance that I refer to women india aperreada by the conquerors. Ie for power. That as you said Foucault, do not. Is exercised.
This is also the scene, according to statistics, which becomes faster spaces of violence.
I wanted to take my blog on the subject. I also wanted to make regardless of who reads it, the need to get down to reflect. No violence themes. There is no dominant male punishing, domesticating and disciplining the female of the group. There's more. It's much more.
I thought, naively, that after the fields extermination, and so much more violence and insanity, man, what kind capable of producing and enjoy their symbolic thought, would revise some things, for example, the modesty of their women avoid suffering from war to title combatants, but yet does not hesitate to send them to "war" on programs that trivialize and degrade as such, dancing for no good because things within a phallocentric and vagina ideology complacent. As beautiful women at the end this time, exhibit large empty smiles decadent, and also the high eroticism egocomplacencia their bodies produce, dreams and fantasies and unrealistic media orgasms, anthropometry built from a design, technology and new
frankensteins science and progress, and from there, without shame, invent a beauty of woman and man, then in the spaces of our simple human action in our daily life we \u200b\u200bcan not find them, placing us in anguish and frustration , vestibules and fertile growing salsa and a thousand crimes turned into violence, pain and death. What the title. Neither XX nor XY.

something we see every day in theaters, DVD or TV.
All men, women and children.
BERLIN (Mike Collett-White, for Reuters) - British director Michael Winterbottom
defended the graphic scenes of violence included in her new movie The Killer Inside Me, which led to dozens of people to flee in disgust the press screening.
The film, starring Casey Affleck
Americans,
Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson , and caused quite a stir at the Sundance Festival in January, and now competes at the Berlinale which opened Friday. The Killer Inside Me is based on a novel genus 'pulp fiction' by Jim Thompson, who said Winterbottom made a deep impression.
more explicit violence shown since the beginning of the film, when Affleck's character, the respected but strange Commissioner Lou Ford, decides to beating to death his girlfriend, the prostitute Joyce (Alba), to frame an old enemy and take their money.
not much is left to the imagination while Ford is giving repeated blows to the face until he believes that Joyce is dead.
In a later scene, repeated a similar punishment to Amy (Hudson) but without much detail. Several sex scenes also have sadomasochistic elements.
"Many novels and noir films showing violence as fun. What I liked about Jim Thompson's books is that, although they are very much in the genre of 'pulp fiction', not using violence as entertainment, there's something thrilling about the violence, "the director said in a press conference dominated by questions about violence in the film.
"To me that is the target of violence in the film in a way, is very repulsive. As for how the show, we were just trying to bring it to book as possible. The book is very impressive, "he added.
"I prefer painting people's eyes to cathedrals, because in the eyes is something that is not in the cathedrals, even majestic are imposed, the soul of a man, albeit a poor vagabond or a street kid, I find most interesting "
Letters to Theo. Vincent Van Gogh
few years ago I had the opportunity to attend a workshop at the Faculty of Communication Sciences at the University of the Republic about a topic then exotic Uruguayan social anthropology. Visual Anthropology. The workshop was conducted by the Brazilian anthropologist Carmen Rial
working time in France and the Uruguayan anthropologist, professor of the house of studies, Dr. L.
Nicolas Guigou. The workshop
which eventually came by chance and availability of night time, I did discover a vein of the discipline of anthropology who married an old hobby naturally: the photograph, which though small and lightweight equipment , knowledge technical theory, but plenty of enthusiasm, many years ago I did move around the world looking for anthropologize. I did not know then. But today I think a little of that exists behind every photographer, regardless of category, quality and prestige, when looking at the world through his lens, even with his machine in the backpack.
I could go on an issue that really arouses my interest. I think more practical than those of my patient readers, might be interested in delving into this issue visit the address that follows and have a comprehensive approach but, if that other information in addressing the issue.
From me share with you a selection of photographs of my authorship, editing virgin have come from my hustle and from the lens of my small and compact noble up my digital files. This dimension is apparently unnecessary, in fact a call to generosity when criticism of them are formulated as expressions photographic art. These are pictures of our world, an anthropologist from an amateur photographer, and were found in newspapers here and there where always wandering from the stranger tries to meet otherness. My next neighbor, saying the Elizabethan poet.'s There often overlap, some semi-hidden, completely hidden behind other significant finding and mean. is also worth remembering on this page and highlight the efforts of Uruguayan Cinematheque every chance he gets us back together with Robert Flaherty with Eisenstein and Leni Riefenstahl and of course with the huge Jean Rouch and many masters of cinema as Kurosawa and - simple example - the plastic and human majesty of Uzal Derzú
; Agnès Varda and scavengers and finally, endless list of many other teachers who do absolutely anthropological film and / or anthropologize in my view and opinion. not exhausted the subject of this contribution to the culture of this noble institution and suffering, the Uruguayan, struggling to grow to survive, it is not easy, but longtime associate, is that it will succeed.
A separate paragraph for its festivals, where you'll always find who is caring, wonderful visual ethnographies. I could name many. I prefer to arouse the curiosity of others and if anyone is interested just comment on my blog and I will return.

perhaps too Sometimes I feel sorry that we live world from a gully, dehilachado, because my way of seeing and understanding, is that things in the world, should matter and involve everyone.
We live in a continuing inequality, and that does not help that all humanity can have a look the same and equal, when commenting on talks the importance of equality will Some are not even take into account the other attribute responsibility to second and third, and one other fighting with out to raise awareness and be a global reality, my mother! That sounds more global and distant.
The current economic situation, has lost to all who suffer, trying to save our lives, trying to recover the social status we had one day and then look for our I, of course! as we look at or think of others.
Spain is a country that has plenty, abundance of raw materials, etc ... But ... All we seem little to us.
this morning in a blog friend: Guillermo The book, we read the mind of a person, I agree with that sentiment, but I'm asking to have more involvement, awareness, participation, understand that this world belongs to everyone and for all, exactly this friend to a feel for the Haitian people, but I know the needs are global, and if we look any continent of this world, we see that there are millions who have never had insured the needs basic principal of any human being as simple as food, health, education, and completion with employment stability, but In short, I remain confident that more and more we go up to the boat we are equal, making the indifference something that has no place in our lives.
A very big HUG for everyone, and not have the time but I'd like to meet this our blog, but I am involved in can do for the common good.

sometimes escapes death of hiding. From there, where the homo sapiens sapiens, intelligent, conscious of his mortality has put. Evening to the everyday, however, that ever-present, denied the daily dialogue, but intent on his way to reality, forcing permanently. Always present. Every culture has had with death the overwhelming ratio of having to imagine: A Beyond. Also from lively spaces have had to conclude in many cases, the afterlife, the supernatural, is ultimately the reason justifying all existence. All great books, all religions invite man to deceive his destiny in nature and that is where the soul, sometimes one, sometimes more. Sometimes thousands. Also sometimes, rational people shaking their materialism and renew their relationship with their dead. Tomorrow (today) November 2 is one of those days.
course not used up in this space, which death and its consequences for the living, only administrators ultimately our end as living organisms, and everything should be said that anthropology has thought and thought about very complex subject.
Hidden behind the curtains, death, should celebrate all the problems it causes total social fact that expands its consequences kindreds and relatives, debtors and creditors, heirs and happy relatives. Death is terrible in the impact it has on the world of the living. That is my subject of curious reflection, when tomorrow (today) the cemeteries in this part of the world, rediscover old tears, wear fresh lime and sand and plastic flowers that water Aedes aegyptis the mortuary does not know and if death. I would say that animal at last, happy, not even aware of death.
From the beginning, from the random and extraordinary evolutionary option of providing the Homo of thought, of giving it such a huge complex brain which subordinated all the remaining design and install the assumed capacity as superior, possessing symbolic thinking and the ability to build the abstract, man has been heavy on his shoulders the fate of known finite. can fantasize as much as you like and want to his death. You can also fall into the trap of ignoring and believe out of all destinations back to the food chain and become an end in horrendous banquet of "a pack of death", no matter how the mighty have your enterradero or if your body is fortunate to rot calm and at peace with the crows as Juan José Morosoli
granted in death his beloved sweet Andrada.
Thinking about death is also indivisible think of the soul . That, the only one who had it and it seems we look perhaps too little, for so certainly there and also we do in our beliefs, synonymous with goodness, but in fact would be "heartless", put there by God or gods, to house of the good.
also from impeccable rationality others believe that you can not live only with a soul. How could the ancient Greeks understood and managed and its contemporary life, without understanding death, soul and its destiny?
How to understand the Muslim world without the Quran and its idea of \u200b\u200bthe afterlife?
How to separate the analysis, the relationship with death festive with Mexicans living without crossing each other Aztec theology and times of ages and upheavals, the feathered serpent, their cannibal feasts and the thirst for human blood of their gods?
At some point, at some point, our ancestors, perhaps the Neanderthal, perhaps others no matter the case, have wept in grief the first time, and have dug for the first time, the first tombs, and painted with ocher humanized be the remains of the dead mourned for the first time. Perhaps the social construction of death that we have here in the West, we make it easy or just plain not allow us to realize the quantum leap that circumstance instituting representing once and for all of ritualization and the mortuary as part of more or less complex ceremonies of farewell and honor, not the dead that ultimately is an issue determined by the nature or the vicissitudes of life, but a farewell to his soul travels to the afterlife, more or less happy, more or less picturesque, but up or down, to the supernatural, to where are those who came before us, a great cosmopolitan city of the dead and this one situation, which in varying degrees, maintained today that such an effect assumed to be natural, the rationalization is surprising.
Sometimes death is customized acquires precise limits where reason loses position and ceases its efforts to explain everything. Or almost everything. Sometimes they are deaths that without the existence of the existential lifeline is the soul, its effects are inexplicable.
Darnauchans , is one of those deaths that belong to a picture that transcends the limits of pain selfish owners. Hear his voice. Although it is not the voice of his soul, somehow noble technology replaces it.
