MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

My favourite piece of technology is my in all probability Smart phone. A few years ago my answer would have been the computers, but today my mobile phone can to do the same fun things.

In my phone i can to work in a few things, check my emails and talk with my partners work, but i can´t spend long hours doing a report, this is an advantage for me.

I bought my firs smart phone four years ago and it changed my life. With it I can stay in different places at the same time, today I can talk whit different persons at the same time, no matter where they.

My phone is a part of me, it is the only tools that I use all days, never turn it off, but sometimes not answered, I choose that is important and that not.

I can´t imagine how would be my life without it. I would need use most time in my work, waiting for the messenger pigeons, I wouldn´t talk with my friends all time and I would lose in the street without the phone´s GPS .

I don´t know what will be the next  piece of technology which will appear in the market and how it would be change again my life, in this time my smartphone is insurmountable.

Dreams and dreams

Dreams are the places where i can see the hopes and fears.

During a long time my dreams were painting of grey. I had diferent kinds nightmares, i dreamed with death and seaquakes. This was natural for me, I thought that the all people had the same dreams, but not.

 “Sueño con serpientes” (I dream with serpents), Silvio Rodiguez´s song, was a song that told like i felt in this time. Is a very good song.  You can hear it here.

That time spend, today only a few dreams are nightmares, the most of dreams are short histories that show me things about my life, but this is well for my.

Today I think that the all the things can be better, the dreams are usually a message of hope for me, things to do better, other once are repeat of moment that make me happy.

Now I hear other Silvio´s song, that is with me in life, “el reparador de sueños” (“The repairman dreams”), it said “always reaches the dwarf with his tools to loosen hatreds and tighten loves .”

Is a very beautiful song that you can hear here.

About the other dreams, of these that one have awake, I can´t tell a lot.

Only in the recent time, i began to make questions about it.

Today i feel that i can have a dreams, big dreams and simple dreams.

I work for make it.

The books of my life.

I´ve been a worm books since my childhood. My life is written in pieces of books that showed me something or that simply touched me.

Today the books remember me an important part that of myself. Maybe it´sfor thist reason  i have a lot of them.

When i was a child, i saw my parents read different books and they told me short stories about them. I remember “Juan Salvador Gaviota” and “AMI: el niño de las Estrellas” books that my father read for me, and I read for my sister. The love for books is shareed in my family.

Now I read different kinds of books, fiction and non fiction book,  poetry books, Social Science’s  and philosophy books , but the best kinds of book for me are “Realismo Magico”, magic realism,  a kind of latinoamerican literature, the fiction tells us parts of a real story of Latin-American people.

Really I haven´t got a one favorite writer or book, I have a lot of them. 

My favorite poems writers is a Pablo de Rockha, a Chilean writer unjustly forgotten by history, if you want read some of his work, click here. Also I like Mario Benedetti, a Uruguayan writer of novels, short histories and poems. Here one poem by him.

With regard to novels my favorite writers are Garcia Marquez and Mario Benedetti both precursors of the magic realism. They tell histories about simple people and their common life of them, these writers provoque a lot of emotions and situations that show the customs in different periods of the Latin-American’s history.

Like i said, I have a lot of favorite books , but one of them is “del amor y otros demonios” , the love and other demons,  a Garcia Marquez´s book that reflects about the love, not only of romantic love, but also about the different kinds of love and the different things that the people do for love.

In this book the love for the books is a meeting point for completely different persons, it can change them. While this book changes to the readers too.

This book was very enjoyable for me and only took me a few days to read it. This book is necessary for all lovers of love.

Michel Focault a New and Infamous Thinker

The infamous man that studied the infamous men.

Michel Focault was a French philosopher, social theorist, historian of ideas, and literary critic. He was an intelectual ahead of his time, a visionary in all ways. His work converges into the way and importance of "the power" in human realtionships, for this reason he looked into the most common topics of our times.

His most important books are:

Madness and Civilization and Kant's Anthropology: 1960

The Birth of the Clinic, and The Order of Things: 1960–1966

The Archaeology of Knowledge: 1966–1970

Discipline and Punish: 1970–1975

The History of Sexuality : 1975–1983

As you can see Madness is important in Focault´s work. He claimed that insisting on giving a definition of Madness is a caracteristic of oun society, and we should challenge this.

Something similar happend with the infamous persons and things, with the sexuality, and the prision.

Michel Foucault was a researcher of freaks, because he himself was a freak in his time. He was a homosexual and was the first famous intellectual that died of SIDA.

Foucault's ideas have generated diverse lines of thinking and research, his focus on the bodies and power, have influenced all social sciences, being precursor of gender and sexualities studies, as well as the critical studies.

"Discipline and Punish" forecasted the evolution of Control Mechanisms in our Societies, making questions  and describing  the way the contemporany society produces and reproduces these mechanisms.

In this sense, it´s very interesting to lisento the conversation in 1971, given to a TV Show in france,  between Michel Focault and Noam Chomsky, to understand the ideas of both, in to the third debate of the International Philosophers' Project, "Human Nature: Justice versus Power".

I hope that you enjoy it.

"La Trova" y "Silvio Rodriguez". Music for all.... My favorites Bands or Singers

Music for all.... My favorites Bands or Singers
In this ocassion y have to write about my favorite Band or singer, but i think that we, the music´s lovers haven´t got just one favorite band or singer. We have a favorite band or singer depending on the kind of music.

Music is varied and it´s difficult to put all the different kinds of music in the same box.


I like a lot of music, but if I had to choose some, i would choose the two  most important kinds for me: the "Trova" And  the "Rock".

Now I will only talk about  " la trova", because i think that is more part of own of latinoamerica, in other moment i will post about Rock,  which is, i think, closer to english-speaking peolple.

"La trova"

The trova is a important music of Latin america, it born in Cuba of the hand the Cuban revolution.

My favorite singer in this kind of music is too, is the most important,  Silvio Rodriguez. This Cuban Man was the inspiration for me, thank him I play guitar, and i´m feeling a left man.

His life is very interested, He was a soldier in the cuban revolution, and a important part of his music was made in a boat war, trip to Africa, for  to make the revolution there.

The Silvio´s discography is very big and completly recommendable. But in this post, I leave a little sample.

"Triptico" Is a triology in honor to the 25 years of Cuban revolution.
The best for me is a "Triptico 3".

Hello.

This should be my first post, but no. i wrote one post yesterday to explain the name of this blog.

For my exercise, in my english class, i have to write a short autobiography. There we go!


For if you don´t know, my name is Victor Acuña. I am 33 years old, like Christ, i hope i don´t die the same way.

I´m a Sociologist,  I studied in a University  "Academia de Humanismo Cristiano" ,  Christian Humanism Academic. At the moment I´m doing a Master about Psicology Comunitary in University of Chile. The English course is part of it.

I was born in Santiago, my firs years i lived in Maipu, on the periphery of Santiago, but i loved Pudahuel, too in the periphery. In this district i was living whit the rest of my life. I loved Pudahuel, because there was my family and my friends, also all weekend my family went there, this was fun for me.

My family, at that time, was made up by my father, my mother and me. Later, my sister, who is 23 now, was born. She´s probably, the most important person for my. She´s my partner, my friend and my daughter too, to a certain extent.

I always had a lot of hobbies. I played guitar, i read a lot of novels, I danced in a Parties, etc... Today i do the same and some things more.

I hope this will be enough for you to get to know me.
