Teresa Matus

Today, I would talk about one of the most import exponent in Social work in Chile, Teresa Matus. She is the actual director of social work in the University of Chile, and actually she refound the career joined with María Antonieta Urquieta in the year 2015 after the dictatorship in 1973.

Also she was making multiples investigation to the FONDEF (in Spanish it meaning Fondo de Fomento al Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico) with investigations about social work contributing with the analysis and one critic perspective about the Chilean social problems.  

In the actually she still being to import for the Social work  because Teresa doing investigations, writing books and works, and In this moment, administrated the career of social work in the university of Chile.

I know her in the University, in the first moment I meet her in an elective summer course in the year 2015, a little after to know the results from the University, with the time I see her more in acts from social work, in the reunions of the career and eventually she makes me classes about Epistemology and Critical Approaches In Social Work. I think she is great ^^

Stakes

In view of the fact (free topic), welcome back at my addiction.

Today I’m going to talk about a cartoon. I’m referring at “Stakes”. Is a miniseries from Adventure Time centered in Marceline the vampire queen; count with 8 chapters of 11 minutes each one of them.

Even though the miniseries had already broadcasted in USA it still don’t emit in Latin America, but finally the 22th of May we could watch it (in Spanish). I’m so excited for this, especially for know how the production translated the song of the mother of Marceline.

The series address [SPOILER] the wish of Marceline to be an undead, red-sucker no more, with the help of Bonnibel and the science modifying the physiology of Marcy and makes her mortal, but reviving her foes.

Shows the fights of Marceline against the five vampires, the past of the half-demon girl with her mother, with Simon Petrikov (in process to being the ice king) and with the last humans and we can see the expressions of her unconscious, her  fears, her wishes and her dreams.

It’s great to see Marcy like the protagonist and I’m waiting the emission.

Finally I will to say: Everything stays but still changes (A perfect explanation about the life and the series, the best song of cartoons ever ^^)

See you. 

The most beautiful suicide (photo)

Actually I don’t know a lot about photography, but I’m stay here… trying. Today I’m talking about a photo; specifically a photo took from Robert Wiles. I think the most important in a photo is what it’s provoking. I think Wiles took pictures with depth, harshness for the different contexts, introducing a social critic, blend the reality and a gloomy fantasy.

This photo shows us a suicide, but no just like a violent act, it is an expression of beauty and freedom. We see a women drive into a limousine, perfectly intact, almost like she is sleeping.

The photo was taken the first of May in the year 1947. A fortuitous fact permit to the author took the death of Evelyn McHale who jump from the Empire State building with 23 years.

I like me the photo because I think it’s pretty, the serenity in the face of the women is enormous, and let me see a social reality. The suicidal it’s taboo, for the contrary this picture doesn’t’ has prejudices, is just an instant and it can be all.

See you, thanks for reading.
