Critical Theory

This semester I was pleasantly surprised with the subject "Critical Theory". At first I thought we would study texts that are very difficult to understand. In addition, I thought the classes would be boring and uninviting.

The teacher is also very helpful, because her teaching method is very pedagogical. She worries about explaining very complex things with a vocabulary that we can all understand, she starts from the most basic to the most complex. In addition, it uses current examples to better understand issues that can sometimes be very complex and delicate.

The classes consist of analyzing the different intellectuals such as Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, T. Adorno, Horkheimer, M. Berman, W. Benjamin, among others. The branch is very interesting because in addition to studying the different theses and principle of the authors also stimulates us to reason and question society.

The topics covered in the semester program are: Cultural industry, hegemony, social structure, power relations, capitalism, among other topics.

The next semester the subject continues under the name of "Cultural studies and communication" and I hope to be able to continue with the same teacher, because I have already become accustomed to working with her method.

Why my career?

When I was seven or eight I wanted to be a veterinarian - I really like animals - or a dancer - I love to dance-. When I was growing up I realized that biology was not my thing and dancing was just an excuse to party (hehe). At the moment of applying to the university my only option was Journalism, in different universities, but only journalism. I think if I had not stayed at the University of Chile it would have taken a sabbatical year to give the psu again. My university experience has been very good, I really like the atmosphere that is given in JGM. When I graduate I would like to dedicate myself to the written press, in a medium that cares about the interests of citizens and report responsibly.

Technology: Glasses

They are devices that consist of glass or hard plastic lenses mounted on a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, usually with the bridge over the nose and also leaning on the ears through two rods - known as sideburns-. Last year I had to start wearing glasses, because from a distance I do not see well, I have myopia and astigmatism. Unfortunately I have to use them every day and at any time. Except when I use the computer, cell phone or read, since these tasks I do from close up. For everything else if. I do not like them very much, but I have to use them by obligation. But without them my life would be a torment. I could not see the blackboard in the university, I could not see the micros in the whereabouts, I could not go out comfortably and much less see people from afar.
