My experience in the field



I was not too much fieldworks like others students of anthropology in others university or including other generations of students in this university. However I was fieldwork in two of the three areas of my career: biology and social anthropology. The fieldwork in biology was the first year with all my classmates in the hill ''La Campana'' where we camped one night and in the day walked seeing the nature. In social anthropology I remember two fieldworks importants for me.One of this was in the rural area and the other was in an andina zone with indigenous of ethnicity ''Atacameña''. In both us slept  in sleeping bag in a community centers, we had to cock us and had problems with the personal hygiene. I think that this aspects were the only problems, although in general I missed my friends and family, especially because inside Calama and Talca we do not had cellular signal. 

I like share time with my classmates and the research that we did. In the rural area, the village of ''Curtiduria'' we worked about the familiar economic strategies and I talked face to face with four women about her everyday  problems and said that the municipality did not know theirs problems. With this I found the importance of the fieldwork and the researchs with interviews. With the Atacameña people we worked about the conflict between their community and the mining companies in relationship with the water of the rivers.
