Pierre Bourdieu

Intellectually, I admire Pierre Bourdieu. He is an important sociologist and anthropologist of the second part of twenty century. He was born in 1930 in France; he studied philosophy in the École Normale Supérieure. Next, in Algeria he did very good social researches in a statistics’ center. Then he made an excellent career in the intellectual world. He published many interesting books, for example, “The practices sent”, “The sociologist office”, “The reproduction”, and “the distinction”.
Bourdieu is a very important academic in the social theory area. His contributions are very important to develop a contemporary social knowledge. He made a sociological theory influenced by the classical sociologists, in other words, Durkheim, Weber and Marx. His theory conceived the society as a social space where the people fight for specific capitals, for example, economic capital, cultural capital, social capital and symbolic capital.
I like Bourdieu because he is the intellectual critic of the contemporary society. His work refers to symbolic power, social domination, and cultural criticism. His work inspirits for me.

My favourite hobbies

My favourite hobbies is, in first place, watch tv, films, series, or anything. I enjoy a good film. My favourites films have philosophises reflexion, interesting shociological elements or simples entertainment. For example, I like “a clockwork orange”, “hombre mirando al sudeste”, the watchmen, the hangover, Borat, little miss sunshine, the devils rejects, the inglorious bastards, etc. In second place, one of my favourites hobbies is sleep…jajaj. Sleeping is a guilty pleasure for me. I can sleep in anywhere, in the bus, in the library and including in the classes. Sometimes it is something that I cannot avoid. Of all forms, I think that the people must sleep less. In other words, the people must need three hours of dream to be excellent form… Mmm is very bad idea.

I and the earthquake...

When begins the earthquake in the night of February, I was sleeping in my home. The movement was very hard, initially begins soft but every time more and more hard. I thinking that in this moment the world finishing forever. But not, the world continues. Even this way, our country has hard damage and difficulties for earthquake in the central south area. I was to voluntaries work in the south, specifically in the town of Tirua. Tirua is a town of the Bio Bio´s region, located in the coastal zone. In this place, after earthquake arrived a tsunami and destroyed houses and buildings.
