POST 8. A SUBJECT YOU'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

Hi classmates! Well, this semester has been strange and we haven’t all subjects but of those we have I think that “historical and culture context of the body in dance” is my favorite. 

In this class we work with different text that relation dance with the body across the history, how they change, what is the concept of body in different cultures, among other things, we analyzed this and we develop a conversation.

Inside the contents that we have seen, the most important to me has been the “concept of culture”. In this time we have analyzed the concept of culture, the “evolution” of this, the existence of different cultures, other concepts related like ethnology and ethnography, and this entire seen from different visions, some anthropologists, persons related with the culture and dance, other disciplines like the gymnastics and our own visions and experiences.

This class It’s very interesting to me because I like to know the “history” of the body and other visions of this, the concept of body in dance and understand that as more than just an object, and not just that, but our “universal” culture and how this idea to big and only culture has destroyed other considered less important or less develop, omitting their beliefs, repressing and oppressing their body’s and removing all the characteristics elements of their culture, in other words, the phenomenon of colonization in all own ways. I could continue because I like it but it would be very extensive so this is all for now, I hope your semester and classes be good, bye!
