Post 6: Postgraduate studies

Hi everyone again! In this blog I'm going to write about the possibility of take a postgraduate. Well, in this moment of my life Im studing social anthropolgy and my area of interest is education, specifically the antropologhy of education.

 Even, since 2018 Im working in Colegio de Profesores in investigation and the topic we work on are related with the study of curriculum.  So, in future I would like study something related with education, can be educational policies, intercultural education, curriculum topics, non sexist education , feminist pedagogy, decolonial pedagogy, rural education or something like this.

I think that I would like to study any of these options because in my life I was enjoyed studing the things I like. My mom and my dad always says I'm studious and I agree, sometimes is really funny.
I would like to study in other country, but is very expensive, so I think that Chile is a good option.
I am probably working when I take the course, for that reason i think that the best option is a part time course that allows me to work and study.

Post 5: My future Job

Hi everybody and welcome to a new blog session! 
Today I'm going to talk about my future job. Well, in this moment I'am studing social anthropology so, i would like to do someting related whit this topic. But Im not be demanding, i would like to work in a foundation, NGO, municipality, museum, institute, academy, study center, whatever! 

But i think that my perfect job is in any school! I love the school, childrens and the social relations between then. I really enjoy the anthropology of education! In this case I would work outdoor, in a classroom or in a school, I mean outside a office. 
I think that travel is not a problem to me, I really enjoy travel and I think I could have a nomadic life. Also, I think that is important leave the commodities and know different things like a new culture, new customs, tradition, idioms and everything!

In my opinion the salary is important in the sense that it is enough when you can live well, maybe not to have luxurys, but enough to eat well, have a place to live, et cetera.  
In a future I would like to do any specialization associated with the education, or pedagogy, or gender studies, or Latin American studies. I believe that this is important because the today's working world is increadingly demanding and is based on competition. I don't want to say that this is good, but is the current system.  

Post 4: My favorite singer

Hello every body again! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite singer. It's very difficult to choose only one, because I like many!
In this opportunity I going to talk about Jorge Drexler. He is a uruguayan musician, actor and doctor specializing in otolaryngology.
His musical history it's very particular and curious, because is related with Joaquín Sabina. Jorge Drexler tells the story about a "crazy" night of 1994 when he met Sabina, in a meeting in which the spanish invited him to leave for Spain and Drexler accepted. This story is told in a song called "Pongamos que hablo de Martínez" song composed by Drexler referring to Sabina. 

I like this artist since 2015, when I heard "antes", "universos paralelos"and "todo se transforma". When I was in 4° grade .  I like him because his lyrics are very poetics and combine perfectly with his voice, his guitar and the chords. 
I think that my favorite song is "Mi Guitarra y vos" because it's different and original. It's a declamation mix with song. 
I have never listened to him live because when he comes I haven't money and this is very sad, maybe next time I can. 

Is important to say that in 2004, he won ride acclaim after becoming the first Uruguayan to win an Academy Award, which he won for composing the song "Al Otro Lado del Río" from The Motorcycle Diaries.

Post 3: Pets

Hi everyone. Today i am going to talk about pets. When i was 18 years old, i arrived to my home after school and i had a very amazing surprise. In that moment i met my little dog. Her name is Dominga Patricia but everybody calls her "chinchi". She is a Fox Terrier chilena and her birthday is on 5 september. I really love my little chinchi, but my experience with her has been a little sad because i studies in Santiago and she lives in Talca with my family, so, i really miss her when i think in her.
I think that dogs are the best pets, because they are so funny and a good partners. When we stayed alone in my home in Talca, i feel that she care takes to me, although she is so little and cute.
I think animals such as snakes or spiders should not be a pets, because they are very scary and i do not feel confident in them.
anyway, my chinchi is waiting for me in Talca, so i am going to public this. Good bye.

Post 2: The best concert I've ever been to

The best concert I've ever been to

Hi everyone! Today Im going to talk about the best concert I've ever been to. In this case, there was not a single artist. There were many artist and musical bands. Exactly 38 bands and artists. Of all these, my favority was Los Tres and Sinergia. This concert it was in 2017, exactly january 7. There were two scenarios.

Los Tres is a chilean rock band. It was one of the noted bands in the Chilean nineties.

The place was big and it was pleny of people. It was summer so the day it was so hot and there was not enough shadow to cover on. I saw lots of people fainting of. The air was so heavy and there was too much cigarrette smoke and weed smoke too. The show last all day long y i remember i got too tired

I felt so happy, I joyfully jumped and danced, I knew all the songs that they played. The guitarist is excellent and all together they make a great band. It seems as they enjoyed it as much as I did.

I went there with a friend and we had a great time, except for the lack of water and food, which didn't allow us to enjoy it to the 100%. Besides, this concert is historic because it was the last time that Jorge González went out in public after the accident that he suffered.

Anyways, it is a great memory that I'll keep forever.

Post 1: A country I'd like to visit

Hello everybody! Today I'm going to tell you about a country I'd like to visit.

Are many countries that i would like to know, so it's very difficult to choose only one. I think that it's very interesting to know Latin America, specifically Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba, Panamá and others. 

But, from the bottom of my heart, i would love to go to Iceland, because it is a paradise based on the pictures I' ve seen. It's very interesting because the geography, there is Northern Lights, volcanoes, desert, mountains, glacier, snow and beautiful landscapes. 

This country it catches my attention because has curiosities like the firts church LGBTI, here it it illegal to publicize alcohol, don't have armed forces and in 2011, Reykjavík (the capital) was designated a UNESCO City of Literature. 

If I go there I would take my camera and i would go to all the beautifull landscape to know the nature of the place. I would see how is the quotidian life of the icelander, i would see their customs. 

I wouldn't go to study, but i would like to work and live. In this way i can learn about the real life from Iceland. 

My experience this year

Hi everybody!

Today i will talk about my life on this year. January and february it was very very good because we were on vacations and we can rest of the academic life! I was at home with my family and I traveled to south of Chile with my camping backpack. I was in Cochamó, Puerto Varas, Frutillar, Panguipulli, Puerto Fuy, Coñaripe and other beautiful places! I was very happy!
In March I went to Santiago to start the university! It's my 4th year and started my semester with 8 subject and my work part time! It has been very difficult and stressles, also i have lived amorous disappointments that generate moments of sadness.
Apart of this i got closer to my friends and i have had many moments of laughter and happiness!
I have learned a lot of things related to the work of anthropology and social science.
Also, this year in particular I have seen more to my family, my fathers, brother, grandparents, uncles and cousins. They live in south of Chile, Bío Bío region.

Despiste all the stress, insomnia and bad times, I have had good results in the university and work. But I would like to earn more money for all the work.

Song "Es épico"

Today I'm gonna write about a song that I never tire of listening. This song is called "Es épico" and belongs to an artist called Canserbero. 
He was a Venezuelan rapper. He commited suicide at January 20th of 2015. 

Cansebero wrote this song on 2012 and this song is one of the most recognized because it tells an amazing story about his dead. Wait, he died on 2015 but on 2012 he wrote about his dead? yes, that's the amazing fact. 

He dedicated this song to his brother, who was murdered and at the beggining of the song he talks about that. Then, Canserbero talks about his revenge and his own death. 
I really liked this artist and specially this song because every time that I listen to it I discover a new thing. I like the way he describes his death and his travel to the meet with Cerbero.

I feel that he was a really special person, I enjoy a lot when I'm traveling in bus across the city and I can put my headphones and submerge on the lyrics of Canserbero. 

Well, if you enjoy rap music I recommend you to listen this artist and let yourself be carried away with their songs. 

Es Épico [Muerte]

My favorite subject this semester

Hi everyone! Today i'm gonna talk about a subject i have enjoyed studying this semester. 

The name of the subject is "Educación Popular y Comunidad", is an elective from the career of Preschool Education and is on Tuesday from 8.30 AM until 10.00 AM. 

The class started in May, because teacher was sick and he can't go to the universiry.  In classes we sit in a circle and we talk with our classmates and with the teacher. In a first time we work with the traduction of "Pedagogía del Oprimido"- Paulo Freire, because all the traductions that exist are intervined by third person. After that, we talk about the concepts "dialogicidad" and "humanización" from this same text. 

Later we work in "despatriarcalización" of the book with the help of one teacher, she is an expert in these matters: popular education and community feminism. 

After that was a popular educator to tell his experiencie in Valparaíso, Quintero and Santiago. 

So, the contents we have seen are education, feminism and community. 

I like this subject because it is different to the other subject in the university, it's more relaxed and you learn in other ways. 

Rita Segato

Hey! It's me again, today I'm gonna talk about a person. She is very important for me because is related with my major. She was born in 1951 in Argentina but at present lives in Brasil.
She has 67 years old and she is an feminist anthropologist that works in gender studies, specially in "feminismo decolonial".
She has written one of the classics about Latin American feminism “Las estructuras elementales de la violencia” and she did a study about crime in the city of Juarez.  She is an expert on issues of gender violence.
I admire her because she works in an unexplored terrain, which affects many people, in addition, she used anthropological theory to see the phenomena that violence brings. Finally, his theory is easy to
read and present solutions to current problems.


Some of his other texts are:

Genealogías críticas de la colonialidad en América Latina, África, Oriente. CLACSO. 2016. (Co-authored)
Construir estrategias para erradicar la violencia de género. Al Margen. 2016. (Co-authored)

Feminist Movement Last Year

Hi everyone,

Last year the feminist movement finally popped everything. We exposed all our rage against this macho society. We've been tired of all the men privileges and all their actitudes.

When during the first semester of last year, women took a lot of spaces, my heart really beat with more intensity. This protest means a lot for us. I know that the change will be hard and slow, but at least we install the problematic. And there are some actions that are actually happening, like the questioning of the language and the sexism that hides.

Well, I don't like the word democracy very much, but I understand that some people find in it the sense of this fight. They understand democracy like the need of gender equality.

About the toma in our school I can say that it was very pretty, it was built a very safe place of meeting. But the problem that I found is that isn't real, it was like a bubble because at the moment that you go out to the street the insecurity came back to torment you.

My favorite photograph

Hi everyone!

Today I am writing about one of my favourite picture. This picture was taken in 2018 for Alex Vidal in Llanquihue, Chile. This is part of an association called "Colectivo Fotográfico Rural", they have an page in Instagram called "colectivofotograficorural" and here they published their photos.

It shows a car without tyres, a house of tin, a tree without leaf and a day very cloudy. I think that shows the real farm life in south of Chile. 

I like it because the atmosphere of the photo its so cold, the colors retreat the sensation of been there, the light is well balanced and carry me to south of Chile. And i am identified with rural life and this photo it is similar to i know about rural life. Also i love cold days, clouds and rain, specifically when i remember the house of my grandparent in south and remember my family and pretty moments that i lived. 

My favorite Movie

Hi everyone,

Its hard to choose just one favorite movie, but there is one that i really love, its called "Birdman" or "The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance".

I live this one in special because i like the esthetic, the colors, the soundtrack, the photography and the actors and actresses. The director is Alejandro González Iñárritu and actually i love all his movies because are very special, with an excelent argument and the esthetic make them specials. I watched this movie for the first time en 2017, with my brother. 

I don't have an special favorite kind of movies, but my other favorites are "A requiem for a dream", "Interestelar", "Trainspotting" and "The Butterfly Effect". 

The most recent movie i saw is "End Game- Avengers", directed by Anthony and Joseph Russo. I recommended if do you like superhero and action. And if you saw the previous movies. 

My favourite piece of technology

Hello again, today i'm gonna talk about my favourite piece of technology. In this moment of my life i think that the cellphone its so important, specially because i use the phone to talk with my  family every day and with my friends. But from the bottom of my heart my favourite piece of technology is my digital camera. I bought it when i was 14 years old. I saved money for a lot of years. And i take it everywhere that i can, because i love taking pictures, but is difficult to transport. And it scares me to walk alone with it in the city. I use it a lot of days in the month, always i can. 
I love photography since i was 10, when my dad gave me my first camera. So, for me, my camera is one of my greatest material treasures. Also, my cousin taught me how to use reflex cameras, so I really enjoy sharing this passion with him. 
I don't know what i would do without my camera because i really like to draw with light and show my way of feeling and seeing the world through the photos I take. 

The life without it be sad, because i couldn't archive all the beautiful moments than i want.  

This picture its took my dad when my camera arrived to my home. I was 14 years old. 

Why i did choose anthropology?

When i was a child, i want to travel for the world and know different places. After that i decided to be a teacher, like my mom and my dad. I played that i was a teacher of my dolls. When i grew up i think to study periodism, sociology or literature. But at the moment of decided i talked to an anthropologist. She tell me about this career and i understood that i want to do this job in part of my life because sometimes is very funny and you can do many things, in many areas, and work with different people, organization, foundation and study centers. 

My experience at the university until now is varied, i have very good moments and very bad moments. But in general its OK, specifically because i have learned a lot and i met cool people.

When i finished the university i want to work in something related with education, or something in rural areas, or public politics, i really don't know.
