A kind of knowledge that I give much value is to visit places of the World. Travelling means discover a new culture, a new language,
and a new World! That’s because I want go to a place where people, cosmovision,
and practices are very different to mine.
Through
novels, films, and comics (that they call manga)
I’ve knew some of the japanese culture. They really appreciate the formalities,
rituals, and solemnity in every aspect of their daily life, respecting to
elders and traditions, at a level that is unintelligeble for us. It doesn’t
mean that I want to follow their culture, but to know how these practices work
in a society. I think, for example, political manifestation or atypical forms
of life in Japan are unthinkable, and is interesting to me understand why this
is just like that.
Japan is
for me a mysterious place. For one hand, is one of the principal culture
industry (with their cinema, visual arte, aesthethic, music, manga, and anime),
characterised for the rare and incomprehensible; and, for the other hand, is a
place that exercise the discipline, the formality, and the solemnity own of an
old world.
I want
go to Japan for a life experience and, obviosuly, for the food! Did you know
that Japan is the place with more awarded restaurants for square meter?


When did you first become interested in Japanese culture?
ResponderEliminarWhen I was a child, specifically for some animes that my brother forced me to watch, like "Neon genesis Evangelion".
EliminarHi, Nicolás! When did you first see a japanese film and which one? What do you think about Manga in comparison of another kind of films?
ResponderEliminarHi, Ivana. Long time no see. Very good question: when I was very child, I saw a classic of the anime (no "manga", manga is like "comic" for us), called "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Also, I saw Pokémon and I was a very fan of that!
EliminarYou other question is very interesting, indeed is a problem for my doctoral research. Can we discusse that in person?
