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.

Studies?

  in my last vocational reflection I decided to go down the path of the social sciences. At that time I really liked to read. I think that just like everyone I have a desire to change the "world". Producing knowledge that can contribute to improvement is what I wanted.  I didn't always want to study social sciences. Since I was a child I wanted to study physical sciences or related to astronomy. I stuck with the idea of the physical sciences for a long time. 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 ...

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 co...

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 ...
