A subject you’ve enjoyed

Stencil Michel Foucault

The subject that most enjoy this semester was ‘’Political Communication’’ Because I have this subject with a very interesting teacher and I like the way he approaches the contents. With this teacher I studied many authors in the area of philosophy, stories such as: Foucault, Ranciere, Deleuze among others. These authors have also served me for my seminar, the research I worked on and studied throughout the academic year.

Usually the teachers of the ICEI approach their contents of the subject of form very journalism. But my teacher of Political Communication, Carlos Ossandon, is more complete and have a different form, maybe for his studies in other areas and curiosity.  I think he is a very educated person and makes the classes become a place of critical thinking. I always leave the class with something new to reflect on.

In the subject the classes treats topics as the political, the political, political ruptures, power mechanism, the rules, power relations, force relations, the body politic, political practices, the capture of body and more. Topics and problematics very important in this context.

My favourite movie scene

Bicycle Thief (Ladri di biciclette)

 One of the frames in the end of one of my favorite movies.

The thief of bicycles is one of my favorite movies, is about Antonio a man who, in full crisis of Rome of the postwar period, obtains a humble job hitting papers with the condition of having a bicycle, but on his first day of work his Bicycle is stolen. Antonio with his son Bruno try to recover it.

The beauty of this film is that it is very simple and the argument also, however, during the whole film there is a large building of the characters, especially Antonio, Bruno and the city. There is also a large building of the plot because when then the protagonist decides to steal a bicycle and his son the final scene makes a great sense.

The final scene is one of my favorite scenes and one of my favorite late, because the action so simple that Bruno approaches his dad and take the hand takes a giant load.

I appreciate that simplicity that manages to stir up the tears.
