Blog 4: Favorite Series/Movie

Hi everyone, hope all is well :)

Today I will write about "Little Fires Everywhere", my recent favorite serie. I will tell you why down below.

Little Fires Everywhere is an American drama web television miniseries, based on the novel of the same name wrote by Celeste Ng of 2017. It premiered on March 18, 2020 on Hulu (streaming video service) and consists of eight episodes (each chapter lasts roughly an hour).
 

Set in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, Ohio during the late 1990s, Little Fires Everywhere revolve around  the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and an enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. The story explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, the motherhood, the racism, and the danger in believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

Is my recent favorite series because portrays very well the dilemmas of the intersectionality between feminism, motherhood, and racism. In addition, it is a series that problematizes the traditional formation of the family. 

The series stars Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington (my favorite character), both of whom also executive produced, alongside Liz Tigelaar, Lauren Neustadter, and Pilar Savone.

I saw this serie in three days. Although not available for free viewing, a friend sent me the torrent. If anyone is interested in seeing it, write me!

That I tell you today, see you in the next blog. 
Regards :)

Blog 5: My future job

Hi everybody :) Today Im going to talk about my future job. I am majoring in sociology and near to do my thesis. I would like my thesis to be about the housing deficit in some communes of Santiago. My interest in this area of study (urban sociology) and work comes from my personal experience as an urbanite. I have always lived in Santiago, first in San Bernardo, then in El Bosque, and now in San Miguel. Although these communes are different from each other, they are all peripheral to the center of santiago, although San Miguel is closer than the others. The way in which the prevailing centralism at a regional level is also expressed within cities and their communes has always caught my attention. In this sense, I consider that the planification of the city of Santiago is deliberately segregatory, discriminatory (for people with different abilities, for example), patriarchal, not environmentally sustainable, and inefficient in terms of transportation and connectivity. The conseque...

Blog 2: The best vacation ever

Imagen
In June of 2017 I visited San Pedro de Atacama (Antofagasta region) with Carolina (my sister) and Daniel (my brother in law). We spent two weeks touring different places. We rented a car because my sister was pregnant with my niece Emilia. San Pedro de Atacama is located 2.500 mts. above sea level, on the north side of Atacama Salt Flat, an area of great tourist and archaeological attractions. The town is set on one of the many oasis formed by the rains of the "Bolivian Winter" in Atacama Desert, the driest in the world. That's why you can see truly unique vegetation, like chañares, carob trees, and capsicum.  It is the best trip (so far), because I met part of north of Chile. Until then, the furthest northern place I knew of was Viña del Mar (haha). Also, we tried many delicious foods. We ate Ricarica ice cream, a very sweet antiplane medicinal herb. We visit Socaire, Peine, the Chaxa lagoon, the Valle de la Muerte, the Valle de la Luna, the Catarpe...

Hi everyone, I hope you are well :) Today I am going to talk about Grimes. Claire Elise Boucher, known as Grimes, is a Canadian musician, singer, composer, and visual artist. Born in March 17, 1988 and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began create music independently late in the first decade of the 2000s, releasing two albums: Geidi Primes and Halfaxa in 2010. Subsequently, she signed with 4AD and became famous with the release of her third studio album Visions (2012), which received the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year. Her fourth studio album Art Angels (2015) received critical praise and was named the best album of the year by several publications. Her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, was released on February 21, 2020. About my favorite album, it is difficult to decide on one, each one has a particular visual and musical aesthetic that makes them amazingly in credi bl e. For example, Geidi Primes is a concept album inspired by the science fiction sag...
