BLOG 8: A SUBJECT I ENJOY STUDYING THIS SEMESTER


Hi, I’m going to talk about one of my favourite subject of this semester of Psychology; Violence, Power and Law.
Violence, Power and Law is a subject about Politics, legal Phycology, Sociology and Philosophy. The format of the class is discussions about texts and authors corresponding to each class. The teachers make us sitting in a circle and talk about the authors and explain our political stance with respect to the main contents.
The bad thing about the class is the amount of work to each class. Sometimes time is not enough, so you couldn’t finished the readings completely. So, if you don’t read all the authors and works you don’t be able to talk or discuss with the group or the class, because you must be talk from a determinate epistemological posture.
The main contents that we have seen in this subject are the relationship with the Legal System and the poverty, the globalization, the decadency of the Democracy, Racism, Classism, Feminism, and how all of this impact in the mental health of human beings.
I loved the subject, because the bibliography and the authors required are very deep and interesting, and bring you a vision about the Legal System and Democracy from a very critical eye analyzing authors like Zizek, Walter Benjamin, Agamben, Pierre Bourdieu, Freud, Wacquant, Hobbes, Foucault and many others.

    Hello Fahbi!
    I had heard that this subject was somewhat complicated. What do you think?
    Another thing, could you recommend me specific bibliography of each author?
    See you!

My autobiography 2.0

Hi, I'm going to tell you a little more about me. I was born in Curico, in 1997. For these days I have lived with my family; dad, mom, and two siblings. When I was 6 years old, my mom and my two sibling came to Santiago, Chile. At that time, we lived with my uncles and cousins in La Florida, Santiago. Then, my mom and two siblings moved to an apartment very close of my uncles, also in La Florida. For these days me and my two siblings were going to a public school called Guardamarina Ernesto Riquelme, in the same commune. After that, my mom prefered change us to other school, because the quality education in that school wasn't very good. So, my two siblings and me moved to a Boston College, a subsidezed school in La Florida. In 5th grade, my sister and me change to Maria Auxiliadora school, also a subsidezed school, in the center of Santiago, in avda Matta. At first I felt very difficult the level of the education, but as time went by I was adapted. I went to that school ...

Hi, today I’m going to talk about a course that I would like to take in the future after my degree. I didn’t think about this because I always focused in goals in short terms; get my degree, be able to live alone, focused in other protects like music, etc. But, if I could think in some course or Magister after my degree I would say that a Magister in Social Neuroscience could be a great option, because the Program of Psychology in Universidad de Chile is focused in Social Sciences mostly, and I believe that Neuroscience it’s an area less explored, or that I didn’t exploited very well. In this program I would like to study about psychiatric drugs and their effects, the neuronal functioning of some basic psychological process like love, hate, depression, personality disorders, and how all this work in consideration of social context where we live. I would like to study in Chile, perhaps in Universidad Diego Portales, because they have a Magister in Social Neurosciences. But, the id...

Hi everyone, I’ll talk about the best concert I have ever been to. I have always been a big fan of music, especially rock, metal and electronic music, so I would say I have been in some concerts that marked me for life. The first concert that I was present was the tour of Guns n’ roses in 2010. In that concert, they promoted “Chinese Democracy” album and the show was in Movistar Arena.   Guns n roses is a hard rock/glam metal band formed in L.A, California in 1985. They separated in the middle of ’90s and Axl rose, vocalist and pianist of the band continued to work in solitary and at the same time, he appropriated the name of the band. Soon after that, some members of Guns n Roses formed a new band called Velvet Revolver. So basically, the concert I have been in 2010, was the concert of Guns n Roses, but with a single member of the old formation: Axl Rose. The music wasn’t the best because many songs of the album Chinese Democracy were played, and I wanted to listen ...
