Žižek!

 Although he does not belong to my field directly, Slavoj Zizek is one of the most influential philosophers and intellectuals of the last decades.  He is of Slovenian nationality, trained in philosophy and sociology at the University of Luibliana and psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII Vincennes-Saint-Denis.

Among his most important works are the sublíme object of ideology, where he develops a materialist conception of history, but from Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian idealism. In this sense, the approach of his books is almost always philosophical and psychoanalytical, as well as reflective and sometimes political or related to culture.  



He mainly discusses contemporary problems in his books, for example, one of his latest books deals precisely with the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As a bonus, although it is by no means a secret, Zizek considers himself a person who is passionate about cinema, and sees in it a form of representation of reality. He is constantly making references to films to exemplify some reflection. 

Here is a rare video of him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-1fvld9xLA

After that I became interested in social issues.  these interests have always been influenced by professors, I guess in part I want the same thing. I am very interested in the subject of teaching, so it is one of my aspirations as soon as I finish my career. Another thing I would like to do is write, however within the institution I have realized the dark world behind the production of knowledge.   I feel good about my career. if I didn't study this I would probably study one within ...

2. The Best Concert Ever

  "Los Tres" in Summer It happened at the beginning of 2019, as part of a series of concerts that the municipality of Peñalolen put free of charge to the neighbors of the commune (and whoever wanted to attend, of course). The truth is that yes, it was the best concert I have ever attended, but also the only one. The truth is that, despite being free, the presentation was very good. My expectations were almost nil, I liked the band, that's why I attended, but I had never experienced being in a concert of a band that had such a massive audience.   The concert was held in a plaza located on Sanchez Fontecilla Street, closer to Los Presidentes than to Grecia.  The concert was held in a plaza located on Sanchez Fontecilla Street, closer to Los Presidentes than to Grecia, around 7 pm, although I don't remember the exact time because an opening act (a very good one by the way) played before the band. I went with my mother and some friends of hers with whom I got along very ...
