times of travel and exploration are over. Anthropology
When did the man continued to explore distant lands. The anthropologist to define the concept of culture and gave more and more as well, using his framework, for the first time, a scientific method.
He felt that the "primitive" peoples would soon become extinct, as eventually happened. Hence the "haste" of the researcher to collect their languages \u200b\u200band their latest last myths passed down from generation to generation and give them to us. But even before
Anthropology, the men had come into contact with cultures and described. That 's what he does, for example, in Caesar's De Bello Gallico .
Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) a missionary, had a profound knowledge of Chinese religion and the people who wanted to come to Christianity through the 'adaptation' of the latter.
nineteenth century are, however, David Livingstone, Scottish missionary and explorer revealed that the African hinterland also seeking the source of the Nile. His was the discovery of Victoria Falls the name of the Queen of England.
These are just a few names of past explorations and "suggestions" of the world when people were classified as "hot" or "cold" when the companies were divided into those with no history from those with the "story". Then
travel moved towards the moon, man on the moon has arrived (1969), in search of a truth itself, informing the public imagination. The science fiction films that followed all of the years 70 ( Star Trek in the head) are a clear proof.
And again. JF Kennedy, in this model, in the 60 challenging time talking about "new border "and the" dream ", so he went to the search space and oceans in an attempt to make a change to the" cold war "between USA and USSR.
Direction North: the ship "Fram", when Arctic and Antarctica were the extreme challenges.
Time travel continues with the ship "Fram", which is shown in a noble majesty in Oslo in a museum created in his honor. This museum is interesting and full of questions "old" relating to exploration.
"Fram" ("Forward", in Norwegian) was used in several expeditions in the polar regions Arctic and Antarctica. It was the strongest wooden ship Fridtjof Nansen, which was built in 1893 specifically for the Exploration of the North Pole. In fact, here was projected to hibernate among the glaciers of the pack artico.Ma is the romance of the mountain of ice that pushes Nansen listening to the wind that blows from Siberia to reach the Arctic. His ambition was to get further north than anyone else. And the "Fram" is the ship that sailed further north and add even more to the south of the globe: the two poles of glass, the icy continent.
But the pack can block vessels in the winter if you do not crush. Nansen then build a ship able to survive the pressure, not because of the use of sheer force of resistance, but with a hull designed to exploit that allows the movement to get on the ice pack and then float on the sea ice.
Nansen, however, failed to reach its destination. The only force of the current Arctic, unfortunately, was not enough. So he decided to reach the North Pole on skis. Arriving at 84 14 he decided to go back. He was with H. Johansen. With him in the repair Franz Josef Land, where she manages to survive by eating the fat of polar bears and walruses. Nansen returned to Norway, thanks to a lucky meeting with a British expedition.
The polar ship "Fram" was definitely the strongest ship in the world, is one that has remained to the north and south of the world than all And the other boats' the polar ship that was used for three polar expeditions not only by Fridtjof Nansen in the period 1893-1896, but also in 1898-1902 by Otto Sverdrup and Roald Amundsen in 1910-1912.
Nansen is, however, the explorer of the ship "Fram", which most remember. He was also a prominent politician, a scientist who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922.
The Oslo museum traces the history of the "Fram". It is full of documents, testimonies and video, but in its basic meaning is "archeology" which certainly deserves to be studied.
End of direction: the light beams and the digit
Today we are in the age computer science as I had already kind of writing. No more than centers of ice to be crushed, or point-point-north and south by sight or sea expanses of "surfing". The concept of travel changes: it can be "low cost" Web or E 'a journey without a direction in line with the loss of even an idea of \u200b\u200bprogress.
and anthropology becomes, then, the science of complexity, or rather that of globalization, however, is there to tell us that cultures, single die.
The new epistemology emphasizes that everything is "achievable" which made her lose the scientist "look away". In this
cultural model of the digit, called the object, for example, is replaced by the music file, the paper ticket of travel agencies has been abandoned due to on-line reservations, and even the banknotes, the euro era, thanks to the card disappear credit.
The world of global virtual ago. Even the terrorists for their attacks cruel choose, without knowing it, the "non-places" of globalization: train stations, subways, airports and computer networks. The question on human
'Man is there, but the challenge is no longer ice Nansen. The wind blows more from Siberia.
No more borders, then, or boundaries, the "geography" popular during the Great War with their sacred "rivers (see the Piave). Today is the bomb computer that decides who wins and who loses.
The time is "real" and accelerated the Gods no longer have names, or "sex."
