Expert in my field who I admire

 


Tomás Moulian is a Chilean sociologist and political scientist. He is originally from Santiago, Chile. He has done a lot of interesting research and work on historical interpretation and criticism of the post-dictatorship economic structure of Chile.  He has written a lot during his life and on various topics. 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 Chilean reality and has a very acid attitude to say things.

Blog post 4 - A photograph I like

Imagen
  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.

My favorite gadget

This gadget has been in my house for as long as I can remember. It is very cheap so I do not use it with much affection. I think I use it every day at least once a day.  I think it is the culmination of human ingenuity. It has two important parts. It has a handle so as not to burn your hands and to be able to handle it. Its main part is the body that receives the flame directly. Usually smoke comes out because I do not remove the remains of crumbs. I think there are other gadgets that can fulfill its function in a better way. However, I believe that this mechanism is the most optimal of all. I think if I didn't have it, my teeth wouldn't tolerate stale bread.
