The
UAPSG-GEFAI is honored and proud to welcome a new member of the Group.
This is the
Spanish anthropologist Ignacio Cabria.
An
objective and complete approach to what surrounds the observational experience
of what a witness may think is an Unusual Aerial Phenomenon, necessarily
implies an analysis of the observer.
It is well
known that the capacity of human uptake is limited and that psychic and
psychological factors can lead to interpreting what is observed in a distorted
way concerning reality. For all this, Anthropology appears as a branch whose
contribution is necessary when considering the UAP theme systematically and
comprehensively.
Especially considering how much and how culture influences.
Ignacio
Cabria García was born in Santander (Spain) in 1955. He graduated in Cultural
Anthropology at the University of Barcelona and has an M.A. in Social
Anthropology and an M.A. in International Cooperation at the Universidad
Complutense of Madrid. He has worked in Spanish Embassies and international cooperation
for development in Mozambique, Argentine, and the Philippines.
He
started in ufology in 1976 associated with CIOVE (Santander), and later to CEI
(Barcelona), and belonged to the editorial board of the journal Cuadernos de
Ufología.
He
has long been studying UFOs and ufology under the viewpoint of social sciences
and has written two books about that subject: "Entre ufólogos, creyentes y
contactados: una historia social de los ovnis en España” (1993) and “Ovnis y
ciencias humanas” (2002). His M.A. thesis in social anthropology was about a
Spanish contactee group: "Valores, símbolos y representaciones en una
experiencia de contacto extraterrestre: el Grupo Aztlán".
He is also the author of papers about the history and
anthropology of African countries and the Philippines.
