anthropology of the genre

Hello everyone, today I want to talk about my favorite subject. 

This semester my favorite subject was anthropology of the genre. This class was every Monday since 10:15 AM until 13:30 AM. The class was divided in themes like: violence, history of feminism, gender concept. In classes we analyses the social structure of the genre, which imposes roles and category to the bodies based on the division masculine/feminine. Also we discuss about the historical demands of feminist movement in the first world and Latin America. I really like the class because the teacher is very passionate and critical. Also the methodology of the class is very free; a first evaluation was to present a cultural objet. I and my group present the red rose, because it is a object that condense many sense about women and romantic love. 

In the violence section, we discuss about the current contexts of aggression and death that women experience in Latin American countries. Also, we saw a documentary called "Santas Putas", which talks about the case of Alto Hospicio. I recommend it a lot. 

I really like this class because opens the space to reflect from anthropology the meanings and categories, rescues how the personal is political and questions how the sex-gender system has conditioned our bodies.
