Blog post 4 - A photograph I like

  This is a picture I took in April 2020 in my house when the quarantine started in my region. I like this picture because it symbolizes my life in confinement. That day, my parents cooked “pastel de papas” but I couldn't eat with her because I had to finish a rehearsal, so I had to eat alone at my desk with my computer and my notebooks as an accompaniment. Why not on a plate? because this way it is tastier.  I think the most depressing time of the day is in the afternoon. I do not usually take many photographs because later they get lost and I do not see them, also because, in general, seeing photographs does not produce anything, but this image seemed to me that it broke with this noon boredom. I don't think that photos can take you back to the past, but I think that a good photo can make you smile in the present.

His most famous books are: "Chile actual: anatomía de un mito", "En la brecha. Derechos humanos, críticas y alternativas".   I found the topic about the Chilean democracy after the dictatorship interesting precisely because I live in it. I discovered this author when I saw him in an interview that another sociologist, who interests me, had done. In the interview they talked about their essay "Chile actual: anatomía de un mito", where he made an interesting analysis of current Chilean society, and calling the current democracy as a transformism of the dictatorship. What I like the most about Moulian is that he is a very critical person of Chilea
