For the anthropologist and sociologist, Otto Rosales

"The construction of knowledge in freedom is inherent in human beings"

anthropologist, sociologist, researcher and currently a professor at the Universidad de Los Andes-Táchira (ULA) hosts a radio, a passion for music and writing, has sought throughout his career innovation and connecting different areas of knowledge

María José Aguilar mjaguilar5@gmail.com

Otto Jesus Rosales Cárdenas connoisseur of Social Science, will face cteriza as someone irreverent and rebellious at the time of youth, their ideal fighter looking for novelty in their research, and its work as a teacher. Dominant character but over the years and by their need to innovate, bowed and converted a number of strategies in teaching and in their family life with their four children and two grandchildren. Creative and bold, but peaceful and relaxed time to talk and express their experiences.

A monotonous
province in the 50's in the city of Tachira state Capacho was a quiet town without many things to do, and much more for a child who began to raise some concerns for learn new games and have fun in any way without the presence of television. That was Otto Rosales, who spent his childhood in this town, which as he says "in those years the people were dull and boring."

However, walking and going to the river belonged to the distractions that Rosales performed as a child. Thanks to the profession of his mother, teacher, commonly grouped six children in reading circles, leaving the freedom to create and invent new games with words like riddles. This marked a substantial step in educating the sociologist Rosales, since it becomes the mistress of the readings, which later in secondary education at the Lyceum "Simon Bolivar" are affirmed.

At the university, manages to identify with their interests feeling freer to contribute and build ideas, "the games are key to a society, there could channel this freedom to create, that be expanded in college, and served to experience them later in my lectures, "said Rosales. The reading was latent, and the text "Discipline and Punish" the Frenchman Michel Foucault helped him see otherwise sociology, and read from other perspectives.

Connecting speeches
The college student's life after leaving Rosales confusion of teenagers in high school, started at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), initiated by the Sociology for make a connection of the various speeches made in other sciences such as anthropology, Literature, from culture and the everyday experiences of human beings. Though his wish was studying philosophy at the Central University of Bogotá, by problems with the Faculty of that race went back to his homeland, Venezuela.

When meeting with friends at a time immersed in the 60 and 70, which Rosales calls it "an effervescence of youth groups, with an opening to the free forms of sexuality, drugs and independence, "he decided to settle in Caracas, leaving his home in San Cristobal to start at the UCV.

were the years of 1970 - 1972 where this university was facing a crisis in its structure led by the government of Rafael Caldera, which suffered a series of raids and protests over the seizure of control, disrupting the operation of the UCV for some years. And is there in the middle of this problem that Rosales enters this house of study, entering easily as many of the youth of the time for being left out of the troubled country.

dense It
freshness Sociology in the first stage of university teaching and research of Rosales, began in a "radical" as he says, because UCV in forms of learning were theoretical and inflexible, stifling the student to extensive reading, with one author, "read Marx and power were almost forced a nuisance," said Rosales. This does reflect the sociologist and anthropologist to find new teaching strategies that years later, follow in his teaching career at the University of Los Andes-Táchira.

Rosales begins to realize that these structures to training that began in the first schools of social sciences have little to do with life, with the everyday, where the researcher begins as "a rebellion individual, looking for other things, to study Theology, Literature, and Art ", taking several seminars to enable it to expand their knowledge to connect the essence of each of these disciplines.

addition, for UCV those years had a range of many teachers as important as the philosopher and poet Ludovico Silva and Venezuelan anthropologist Efrain Hurtado and Mario Sanoja and other social science that combined the art, music, anthropology, culture, and philosophy, offering a "variety and mix of knowledge, which served to start my first line of investigation, Anthropology with narratives, understood as verbal forms, discursive and coexistence of man, "he said.

Building from reality speeches
These connections arising from its beginnings in college, and the various teachings of iconic characters from the Social Sciences in Venezuela, both in lectures and in practical field Rosales allowed to feel real, to find and build from reality, "formed in freedom," he said.

From there, the specifics of your preferences in investigations ranging from the symbolism of the body, the various oral forms of human discourse, genres, locations of people, focusing on the functionality of Venezuelan society, which is an aspect that attracts more important because for him this society "is marked and easy to fragile structures, characterized by dependency and so abrupt changes."

However, youth is one of the indicators taken into account when considering a research project. Since the beginning of his career was the concern of connecting Rosales explains it as "young people with everyday forms of speech social, for from sociology to build theories and not just talk about them. "

From the classroom
For the years 79 and 80 Rosales looks to expand its expertise to European countries, but for economic reasons was not allowed to travel, this was not an impediment to continue, so go back to San Cristobal on a vacation when you receive a job offer in an institution at that time attached to the Ministry of Infrastructure (Minfra). There he worked five years in which their research ranging from local to oral, leading to studies of people and communities.

later joined as teacher in-ULA Táchira, allowing you to focus and channel their research, combining the studies of local and oral from communities with young people in various field practices as conducted in the last 90 years in the Copper, to identify and create a community through them, "was very encouraging experience, because it allowed locating key areas, and ask how were these young people and how they saw this community," said Rosales.

The sociologist and anthropologist in search of inventiveness and creativity, incorporates new chairs in the university as a community, conducting seminars and giving freedom to students to find new ways dl learning, connecting again what had been working in the institution, location and orality, to pass on to communities, then their chairs, thus transforming a wide experience of knowledge, which gave way to his first publications in journals and an MA in Literature.

In his student days deepened the authors for long periods, so Otto Rosales to serve as a teacher wanted to turn this "slow learning" as he points out, as their interests are the everyday small things, explore different authors and different areas of science to build in freedom. "

"My lectures are a wonderful chaos that we will gradually give way and everyone builds into an issue or proposed scheme." Film, literature, art, poetry, and numerous authors of various social theories are mixed to give rhythm and fluency to students, saying that in such a quiet appearance is a passionate being immersed in the madness, to create freely.

Moreover, the objective of going Rosales towards a cultural and symbolic anthropology, taking into account the local studies are medium-scale, because "it is no longer the problem of grand theories but of the smaller buildings that collapsed stories of the grand narratives are constructed within contexts of everyday life. "

"Young bodies and myths"
In an effort to merge their research, the sociologist and anthropologist currently Otto Rosales is working on a doctorate in Human Sciences in the city of Merida, returning to their projects and the great discussion of the myth, taking the body as a cultural element and to see young people as builders of discourses within the everyday.
"My background has always been connected with the ideas of novelty, looking structures from the everyday to create a new aesthetic, fractured, and transgressing from the investigation," said Rosales.

extravagant in their dress, yet relaxed and comfortable, a lover of wine, beer, music, college, teaching, without vices ends, friend, parent, with certain characteristics to individuality in their research, and with great sensitivity for the lives and societies, looking at this stage of his life away the chaos of the city of San Cristobal to go back to a quiet place like in its infancy.

Writer of several articles in a column for the newspaper La Nation, which hopes to be back on track, using a technique that identifies you as writing for a minute, "I write to be read in five minutes with only 25 lines. That is one of the exercises have not stopped loving, "said Rosales.

Dear by some and not so loved by others, Otto Rosales, is identified by its imposing character who has managed to radically transform their ways of teaching, from the hardness to the freshness and naturalness, varying the number of speeches to innovate the "archaic teaching. We must change these structures giving more freedom to the young combined with new technologies, "said Rosales.

However, pending these changes at the macro level this research by the Social Sciences, continues in the classroom and in their research projects with the interest to publish, to transmit their knowledge to more young people coming up with creative from what he reads in the world culturally, from the graffiti on the streets until the errors in grammar, and building speeches to enjoy it with fans and freedom.
