The best concert I’ve ever have ever been

The best concert I’ve ever have ever been is the lollapalooza 2013 it was the first days of April of those year, it was a very good time to go to a concert because I haven’t too much to do in the university and I went with some friends, as we enjoyed the same music, I had good company all the time.

Lollapalooza is a big festival of music and bands, it is realized in Parque O'Higgins, a very nice place to this type of festivals, these was a very good two days. There was a big list of artists, but the most important for me was: Queens of the Stone Age, Franz Ferdinand,  A Perfect Circle, Crystal castles , Tomahawk and Foals. All of them are bands of rock in English, except Crystal Castles that is more electro than rock.


I really enjoyed this festival, because there was a lot of great music and good company with my friends, the unique problem was the price, I bought the ticket for 70000 pesos, a lot of money!  but it totally worth.

La sociologie est un sport de combat | Sociology is a martial art



I’m a student of third year of sociology, and in the past semester, in the subject of sociological theory IV we read to Pierre Bourdieu. Before reading this author, I watched a documentary about him; this helped me to understand his theory, his biography and allowed me to hear him self explain some central concepts as Habitus, Social Capital and Field.

Sociology is a Martial Art (La Sociologie est un sport de combat, in the original french) is a documentary about Pierre Bourdieu, a very important sociologist of the early part of the xx century. It is directed by Pierre Carles, a French director that followed to Bourdieu with a camera and filmed him in conferences, lectures, interviews and researching. Also it gives very important biographical data about the French sociologist.


I think this documentary can be useful to sociology because is a good first approach to the Bourdieu’s theory’s. Personally I think that when someone needs to understand any author, a good form to start is be clear about the life of this author, and this is a good form to learn this.

Thanks you for reading!

Canada, a cold and turistic country.



In my life I haven’t traveled outside of the country, when I’m in holidays, I travel with my family inside of Chile, generally to the south of the country. I love the natural landscapes, so I think that if I visit other countrym this will be for a touristic travel and it should be a country with amazing natural landscapes.

I and my family love the south zone of Chile, mostly Chiloe. I think it is because we like more the cold weather than the hot weather, so I think that the country I would like to visits shouldn’t be a caribbean country, it should be a cold country like Canada.

I think that there are two advantages of visiting Canada, first the native languages are easier than other cold countries as the Scandinavians, so it would be easiest to learn and communicate with the native people; second it is a very touristic country, with a lot of lakes, forests and rivers to visit.
