A person I admire.

Hello everyone, this time I want to talk about a person that I admire.

In the field of sociology there are many referents, great thinkers, researchers, etc. This year in theory we have seen the work of Pierre Bourdieu, which I found very interesting.

Pierre Bourdieu was born in 1930 in Paris and died in January 2002. He was a teacher in France and Algeria. His work focused on the sociology of culture, education, the media, and lifestyles.


Bourdieu's contribution to sociology, which I consider most relevant and interesting, is his theory of habitus. His work is not reduced only to that, but it is what I handle the most about him. He made contributions relating culture, gender, power, politics, types of capital, and other things that occur in society.



I admire this person because he managed to develop a highly referenced, studied and busy theory from his ethnographic works. I also like that you can analyze everyday situations, things not so macrosocial, thanks to his habitus theory.

See you soon....

A meal or food you really like.

My favorite food is the lasagna.  Lasagna is a dish that can be prepared with the ingredients that one prefers. In my case, I like to prepare it with tomato, soy, tomato sauce, cheese and spices. That's the filler. To prepare the filling, the first thing is to hydrate the soybeans. Then cut the tomato. Once the soy is hydrated, you should cook it in a pan with a little oil, wait a moment and add the tomato, hopefully with its juice. At that time you should season to taste. Finally, add the amount you want of tomato sauce. To cook pasta, you usually have to cook it in boiled water. To prepare the dish, first you have to place a pasta base, then the filling, and on top of the filling place cheese and so on. The result must be placed in an oven and wait for it to finish cooking. I like it because it's easy to cook, it tastes good, and it's inexpensive. Regarding health, it has a high contribution in proteins, carbohydrates and fiber, and a little in fat. It helps...

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place?

Hello, this time I will talk about how my career can help the world to be a better place. First of all, I think it is essential to have a notion, idea or definition of what it means to make the world a "better" place. Better for whom? According to what parameters? Who are we going to lead in this task? I believe that sociology prepares you as a professional to face such questions, and therefore I believe that it can be an important tool to change the world (trying to make it a change for the better). Personally, I see myself intervening at the local, population level, in my region, in Aysén, with projects that guarantee a paradigm shift in people's actions. The broad conceptual baggage that is acquired from sociology and the tools to create new concepts, together with the impact on everyday life situations in various contexts is the greatest virtue of sociology. It serves to understand from different perspectives the why of certain situations, the different configurations...
