Tour-ing stgo!

Sometimes the stressful capital city can be a little gray, boring and uncanny, but I really think that Santiago can be a very beautiful city if we look into the right places.

I think that the first place that different visitor of our capital have to visit is "Santiago Centro", the place that I live. There is diverse kind of monument that has been part of our history like the Parliament, parade ground “Plaza de Armas”, the cathedral, the different ministers and the government house "La Moneda”, which subway keeps the cultural center called equally “La Moneda”.

To the north of “Santiago Centro” has placed the “Estacion Mapocho” and the “Mercado”, a really nice place where we can have a delightfully evening with sea food. A “mariscal” – according to the popular saying – is very useful against the handover.

Another reason to go out for a walk is the very interesting route around the Forestall Park. Museums like the “Bellas Artes” and the Contemporary Art are just of a few steps to the Santa Lucia cliff a very nice place to enjoy a picnic.

Follow for the Mapocho River we arrive to the Bellavista neighbourhood. This neighbourhood is full of bars and dance clubs that we can past so a chill out afternoon or a really funny night. In day, at the end of Pio Nono, we can go to the San Cristobal hill and go to the Zoo too.

I really enjoy my stay in the capital, doing a lot of funny and crazy stuffs, with all the different plans to my reach.

Dadaaddgobblegobblleeeoneofus!

The incoherence, the absurd and the funniest thing are my territory, so I think that the Dadaism is one of my favorite Avant garde.

The Dada ways of thinking were initiated by Triztan Tzara in the Voltaire Cabaret in 1916. The dadas ideas were based in the rupture of the old tradition of art, part of the past world devastated by the absurd war. A group of young well-off gentlemen who were escaping from the horror of the first world war, celebrated different reunions to promote ideas and works about arts and the meaning of that word-institution-stuff. The different construction of the dadas was definited like anti-art because they wanted to break up with all the concern about the terrible old past years world and especially with the conception of art tradition.

Their pieces of art (or anti-art) were constructed by not usual kind of materials and forms of the traditional arts, like for example, incoherence poems that their contents were only phonetics writed sounds. In fact a thing that I really love about dadas was the different performances that they do in many of their reunions like Hugo Bäll’s costume of the parody about the process of the geometric kind of form.

But the Dada that I like most is from the “Berlin Dada”. In the exposition one of the most rupturist art of the time were took placed; like a little girl wearing a dress of First Communion and saying rude words. An artist who enhanced was Max Earn and the piece of trunk that has to be cutted by the different public: a first way to the crowd takes really and graphically part of the piece of art.

Transport, insects and color!: transantiago, from the yellow to worm

If I wanna talk about the transantiago, I have to say, firstly, that I live in the south for many years, half of my life actually, so when I came to study in Santiago , this transport system has already implemented. But I has tested the old system in many of my stays, almost all my family live in the capital. The called "Micros Amarillas" has many advantages and obviously disadvantages versus the "orugas" of the transantiago. The first of them , the "micros", was so much faster than the "orugas", but more dangerous too. The transantiago drivers are too much kindly than the past bus driver. I think, that is because the direct treatment with the people who aboard the bus everyday. The new system bip! of payment is so much impersonal than the old system of "chin chin".

For me that I'm a really unsocial but not unkindly person with the general people, I mean passengers and crowd, the transantiago system has some good things, like the fact that I didn't have to treat with the bus operator because the "Tne" bip! do it for me. But, honestly, is very annoying have to travel so close to the several mass of people who arrives into the bus because their haven't other option. The smell and the unkind music that some people makes sound from theirs cellphones are very standed because my headphones and my mp4, that I hopefully wait that a really bad person doesn't stealth me!

I really don't know what changes to do to the actual public transport. I really expect that the many problems with the mass quantity of people who aboard the system in the "pick" hour has a solution...Ah! and other thing! The "metro" has to be open all night looong!!

Starting : a lazy idea of Gender

I began this post with a topic that maybe it's transcendental for the understanding of different behaviours of the humanity between de centuries; the gender.
The developing of the different histories of the mankind has been marked with a strongest point of view; the masculine one. Mostly all constructions of the universal concepts and visions of the events and facts were got used to being told by man authors. The same concept of the rationality, important to the modern thinking is a concept associated to what was called 'the masculine' in opposition of the sensitive associated to 'the feminine".
In the last centuries have has been relevant the role who has play the women in the different areas. The changes that brought the industrialization makes those different kinds of woman went out of their home and changes the role give by the antique conception of them. The woman of the working-class, for theirs needs, has no idea about the big step that they were began in the radical change of thinking about our determinations of our cultural world, that in first place define what we are.
But the world its still know in the contemporary time determinate by the masculine look colonization of the spaces. And Chile isn’t the exception.
So then, the concept about us is marked culturally by our sexuality feminine or masculine. But, if we are self conscious about this cultural determination…
Why to follow it? How to describe our selves based in constructed idea of gender?
We’re just creatures of desire, conscious of us chooses, and free.

C. Perez; Freud unblind me!

My favorite subject in this semester its "Del Verosímil" or arts and psychoanalysis. The professor who teaches that subject is Carlos Perez, who is a very special character. He put a very strong emphasis in his teaching, especially when he talks about really really important stuffs. He looks very excited when he pronounces words in German, and personally the language likes me a lot too! The subject talks about interesting topics who involves the perceptions of truth of the world and us human behavior. Authors like Jay, Benjamin, and specially Freud are really essential to understand our modern living. The marcs that different facts leaves us like impressions are is reflected in all of the culture history. Like our professor says the marcs that affect ourselves in the moment that we aren’t subjects, are re-significant after, affecting to us in all ours present beings. I really likes this subject because is open my experience of the things, to see more than a superficial impression and search the real truth of the forms! O:! I’m a lover of the details, the funny and imperceptible things. Now I know that this little moments and gestures of ours lives are really essential to understand a lot of ourselves, the others, and obviously the artistic creations.

Immanuel Kant

I'm not going to talk about only one author of my specific field, the aesthetic, because there are so many different kinds of thinking trends, that choose only one writer will be very difficult and impoverish the importance of the influences of different school thoughts.

But, without doubt, one of the most important author that open the modern thinking was Immanuel Kant.

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher born in 1724, in middle of the age of Enlightenment, when was the primacy of the reason, concept taken of the ancients Greeks philosopher and articulated under the Decart's postulate "cogito ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am".

The writes and critics of Kant, based in thinking about the human works, influenced different areas like science, politics and obviously aesthetic.

His most important work for the aesthetic was the "Kritik der Urteilskraft" or "Critic to the faculty of Judgments".

The critic talks about the special condition of the aesthetic judgment, in the relation of representations and the same subject, opening in that way the after reflections and critics about subjectivity and arts.

My favorite piece of technology is one of the most integral machines that have ever been created: the computer. I has being used it since I was fourth years old. The first time when I saw a computer was when my mother took me to her university.

I think that the computer is a very important machine because contain a lot of specific function; since to keep different files like pictures, videos and stuffs, play some really cool games, communicate with miles of different people, until do very difficult things like programming, design, an edition. This piece of technology helps us to do many kind of works. Its very transversal to all the different areas like arts for example.


For me, the computer is part of my life. All the really cool stuffs with that I cannot live are filed there: My movies, music and writes. I considered myself like a "downloads" lover. Other things that I like to do in the computer is video edition. I really like the cinenma, the seventh art. Because of that I think that the video camera is one of my favority invencion too. I really think that this to technologies are really complementary between thems; together theirs open a really different way to do arts.
