the person that I admire in my field



hello classmates, today i will talk about  the person I admire in archaeology





He is Ian Richard Hodder, he was born 23 November 1948 in Bristol is a British archaeologist and pioneer of postprocessualist theory in archaeology. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with First-Class Honors in Prehistoric Archaeology from the University of London in 1971, and a PhD on "spatial analysis in archaeology" at the University of Cambridge in 1974.


 Since 1993, Hodder and an international team of archaeologists have carried out new research and excavation of the 9,000-year-old Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in central Anatolia (modern Turkey). Ian Hodder was worldwide known in the world of archeology for his work in this site where he applied new methodologies, questioning and putting into discussion the ancient archaeological theory.

This is why I want to highlight Ian Hodder, who since I met him for his books has inspired me, as he can revolutionize the archaeological theory and other fields of knowledge. Hodder also criticizes the discipline and archaeological practice, evidencing the interests of power and money that may be in practice.

Finally one of my favorite books by this author is "reading the past"  in where Hodder explore cutting-edge developments in areas such post-structuralism, neo-evolutionary theory and phenomenology.

 My favorite movie Hi partners!! How are you? Today I will speak about my favorite movie and others things about “movies”, do you like the movies?, what kind of do you like movies?, well in my opinion I prefer action or comedy movies because I feel they are better to enjoy with friends. About my favorite movie I can say that   have several favorite movies, one of my favorite movies is the comedy where are the blondes? Or in Spanish ¿Dónde estan las rubias?, I believe that is a good comedy because deal with interesting topic, also show stereotypes about upper class and the gender roles of the an world full of appereances and luxuries exemplifying this topic with a certain irony and joke. Well, about the last movie that I saw is “Leon, the professional”,it is also one of my favorite movie although it is not a comedy and the plot is much denser, but I would always recommend it because Is a excellent movie in my opinion. Bye.
