Hole Baby Footprints Cakes



Three students
concepts act Judith Butler, in the auditorium of the Faculty of Anthropology of the Autonomous University. December 2010.
Some of my course I accept that answer instead of writing essays or final exams, student groups choreography and dance, or play music or make videos or write stories or do anything else interesting as work final. Last year a group of students from my course of economic anthropology danced a choreography inspired by his interpretation of The Gift, Marcel Mauss, musicalized a video to introduce the concepts of political economy and then made a video inspired by the book. Yesterday a group of students from my course on the anthropology of music, and one of my course of post-structural theory, presented performances, and a pair of students presented a video all based on concepts and theories discussed during the courses. We had the auditorium of the school all morning. Upon completion of the works and the video, the actors and authors and explained to the audience what they represented, and answered questions the audience.

really enjoyed all the presentations, and I was pleased to see that the theory has served to "think outside the crate" as we say in Yucatan. The photo shows three students playing concepts Gender Trouble and Bodies That Matter of Judith Butler. Other students performed and other concepts of Foucault, Baudrillard, Haraway, Spivak and Deleuze and Guattari. It was really a fun morning and also very interesting. We laugh a lot and I think it was a great propaganda for the theory, especially since the end of the presentation I was approached by several learners for tell me they wanted to study anthropology of music, and there were other / you that excited, I said: "Doctor, I also want to learn about post-structural philosophy.

Many thanks to the boys and courses that just finished me. They did a great job.
