1. A Country I`d Like To Visit

Palestina ¿Sightseeing place? 

Hello everyone, my name is Dorian Ñanco and in this blog i will tell you why i would like to visit Palestine. 

When asked which country I would like to visit, I don't think of any specific one. The truth, if it comes to tourist reasons, I would like to visit more Chile. However, as I told you at the beginning, I would like to visit Palestine, a nation that hides behind it a long history of segregation and religious exclusion, from the Ottoman Empire to the Israeli occupation. Why? Simply, I would like to experience in the flesh what it is like to be in that place and relate to the Arab Muslim culture.

 


Basically, I have a special interest in the Palestinian question and its historiography, so my intentions in wanting to visit this country are to broaden my perspective on both Arab culture and the religion of Islam and how this connects with the contingent displacement that its people have been living historically.

I know relatively little about the place, mostly historical information about the occupation of the territory, from the Ottomans with the conquest of Selim I in 1517 to the current occupation of the territory by Israel. A curious fact is that the Palestinian people have not only been displaced according to their religion since the Israeli occupation, on the contrary, Palestine underwent a reordering of its neighborhoods according to its religion based on the policy of the Millet with the Ottoman occupation (The Millet correspond to a specific rearrangement of a certain sector according to each culture/religion that makes up the occupied land). 


Being there, I would like to tour the areas both "tourist", temples for example, as well as non-tourist. By "visiting non-tourist areas" I mean going directly to areas that demonstrate the central problem that weighs on the nation, in order to carry out some kind of more qualitative research.

I don't know if I would live in Palestine, what is certain is that I would work on some research that "forces" me to go.there.

4. TIME TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE

Time travel is a dilemma for modern science, and seems to be more of a fantasy that is kept alive as the possibility of something unknown and new. The interesting thing about time travel is, perhaps, to satisfy an inner need or desire to know beyond what is humanly possible, to know what is going to happen, to witness it and perhaps to live it. Perhaps it is just the fantasy of an increasingly technological world, with newer things, that satisfy that fantasy of cyber and networks implanted by the spectacle and popular culture. be that as it may, time travel exists, even if only at the level of an idea. Its usefulness, far from the practical function behind the concept of "travel", is no more than imagining virtual scenarios with the possibility of being , in the case of travel into the future, or simply the possibility of never having been , in the case of travel into the past. In any case, if time travel is possible I would like to travel into the future a considerable numbe...

5. CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

When I think about possible changes or reforms that my career should undergo, I first think about the quantitative-qualitative dichotomy, a major contradiction. It is common to enter the world of research, whatever it may be, and to be confronted with the methodological bifurcation that weighs on the research paradigms; immediately the aim is to eliminate the dichotomy in the first semesters, but later in the career, the specific subjects exacerbate the disjunctive, giving special priority to the focus of the field. This is the contradiction, an empty effort to destroy the idea that quantitative and qualitative are mutually exclusive, and then proceed to teach the opposite. Really, it's just a question I don't understand about the race and I think it doesn't make a lot of sense. It's certainly something that could be done better, I don't know exactly in what way, but it could be.  Another thing I would change, are the absurd amounts of academic load (of any career i...

6. ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Before entering university I had very little to do with English, so when thinking about my academic future I never contemplated the idea of having English. It is as if my brain voluntarily and unconsciously decided to ignore the subject. That is why the English test that measures the level of command of the language took me by surprise, I saw that I had to take it and I did not think much about it and I started the test at the same moment. I didn't even manage to answer all the questions, and half (or maybe more) of the ones I answered were random. Now that I am here, I have the feeling that I know a little more English than before, maybe I learned more this semester than last semester. Without a doubt, having English in person is very different from having it online, in a way the physical space and the pressure of being in person pressures us to learn in one way or another. In this sense, it is good to have the feeling of having learned something even when I didn't feel like d...
