《The"Moerenuma Park" in Sapporo.Continuing stairway reminds me of several things of our life.》
In the world of competitive Ballroom
dancing,
we have big figure, Michael
They say Michael Malitowski is just like
great champion in Ballroom dancing,
Latin American division with notable
partner,
First view of his (their)dancing at live
gave me
great impression.
This was not what I had expected.
Previously I watched him in DVD, however,
his live performance created miraculous atmosphere.
I remembered at that time
I fixed my eyes
on his energetic body movement.
In the other side,
in the world of
anthropology,
we have one notable scholar, Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942)
who
is famous as originator of functionalism, born in Poland.
Now he is one of the most biggest figure
for all anthropologist,
particularly because of his methodological contribution.
However I think we
anthropologist had
better not to see him as special because we get narrow-minded,
for example,
"we
must obey his method all the time.
we should go to an specific field at any cost
and stay in there
at least for 1 or 2 years..."
That aside,
Malinowski is so important person
that I should communicate with many times.
For moving my danthropological study
forward,
I'm going to refer this two big figures.
M.Malitowski and B.Malinowski .
They are quite similar in their name,different in only one letter "t" and "n".
With across two world of Ballroom dancing
and anthropology,
my plan for danthropology will be advanced.
Please make sure!
