Blog Session 10: Evaluation of blog experience

Hello, everybody in my last post, I´ll talk about my blog experience in these weeks.  I write my post always in class, because I try to make the  blog in the university, because in my house I don´t have time to work in blogs. I think that i forgot one post and never I started and finished it. I practice English in other subjects, for example in Prehistory, in this subject the most of the texts are in English.

I read almost all my classmates´ comments, but I do not answer every comment, only some of theme. In my point of view, this activity is well made, because it has topics very interesting and contemporary and to improve this activity it would be necessary texts of similar topics with the topic of blog for the students to read in their houses and practice.

If I could, I would write about present social problems in Chile and the rest of the world, because it is very important to  know some of the problems affecting  our country and in this way to  expand our knowledge and  share our opinions with my  classmates.

In my last post, I feel relieved and calmed because in every past class I worked in my blogs and I learned  a little more of the English language.

G. Belzoni (1778-1823)

In this post, I talk about Giovanni Battista Belzoni; he was an important Egyptologist of XIX century. He was born in Padua, Italia at 1778. He was married with a English woman, her name Sara Banne. Belzoni work in circus, performing as strong man. Giovanni is considered as tomb robber because when he travel to Egypt, in this country he makes many discoveries, for example  he visited and he explored many temples such as: Edfu, Elefantina y File, he cleared of sand the Abu Simbel´s temple, and he discovered tombs in kings valleys, for example Ramses I and Seti I.

He was published a book in which mentioned their adventures and discoveries in archaeological area, the book called Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries within the Pyramids, Temples, Tombs and Excavations in Egypt and Nubia. He was died at 1823 in Nigeria, Africa of dysentery.

This person is a tomb robber but is an inspiration for movies like that Indiana Jones, and although the archaeologist not engaged to steal historic pieces, this person represents archaeologist romance of every people, but in reality an archaeologist seeks to protect historic pieces.  

Chilean circus

In Chile the tradition of circus is very popular, in this is characteristic see a great variety of artists. But the most important characteristic of Chilean circus is their private aspect at daily life. In this we find many cultures of different Latin-American countries, for example is common see artists of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Although in this we find different cultures, this form part of unique culture. An essential characteristic could be their organization among then is well defined, for example a woman makes domestic work and they are responsible of childcare. In the man case, this makes heavy works for example, set up the carp and build galleries, those process he make every time in different cities, because change of place, is their routine.

My proxy ethnography it will be above Chilean Circus, specifically the woman role in this and their auto image, the reason is very sample, because Chilean circus is very male chauvinist.
