"Doña Lucía"

Today I’m going to talk about “Doña Lucía, the unauthorized biography” written by journalist Alejandra Matus, who also wrote "The black book of Chilean Justice".
This book tells the story of the wife of Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean dictator. According to this book she was the brain of many actions of the Pinochet, she and her profound evil became to the General in a dictator, and she planned horrible things for the citizens in our country.

Here we can find many stories that tell us of character of Lucía Hiriart, of her thoughts and aspirations, of her important origin that was overshadowed by her husband at the beginning of their marriage, of her hate for be mother and housewife, of his desire to get into everything, of his tens of ill-gotten properties and much more.
“Doña Lucía” made me think that she should be in jail now but the actions were carried out by Pinochet and not by her. On the other hand, there are roles that continue disappeared.

However, really she was and is a bad person but of course, I don't think this is an excuse for the dictator.
Read it, it’s an excellent book for think and it's in the our library.

Audiovisual Guion

Hello everyone!
Today I’m going to talk about a subject that I enjoyed this semester.
Although I haven’t had many classes for the strike, I think that Audiovisual Guion was very funny because the teacher we did see the cinema with others eyes, very different of the ordinary.
The name of my teacher is David Vera-Meiggs and he is a relevant critic of cinema in Chile and I think that of our continent. He know so much about films and their constructions because he studied in Europa in a time very particular of the world history. Is not that he is so old, but the context was particular and he learnt to discover the similarities between stories around the world.

The issue is that his classes tell us about new perspectives and new forms of see and tell stories, that finally not is real if we come back to the past. I think that it’s something a little strange obviously, but funny jeje.
Unfortunately we can’t write anything for the strike, but we hope to find a good story to tell later.

Well, until next time !

MOM

Hello!

I’m going to talk about an expert on my field and, I think this person can be María Olivia Mönckeberg of course!

She is a journalist and chilean author with many years of career in this area. Furthermore she is director of my Communication School.

She is famous because she is one of the greatest proponents of investigative journalism in Latin America and the world. Her books are well known in the media and the librarys because are dedicated to topics of education, economy, personages and others relevant topics for our country in this moment.

Some of the most important titles that she wrote and that I remember are: The Universities business in Chile, The looting of the economic groups to Chilean state, The media tycoons, Profit-seeking, etc.Out of all this, although I don't really like, I think she is a genius and for this reason she has got some awards how: the Louis Lyon National Journalism Award, or the National Journalism Award in Chile. Furthermore, she has been nominated for two Altazor awards, what is incredible honestly.

The movies in my life

Hello everyone!
Immediately I tell them that I prefer movies.
The movies are a essencial part on my life. I do not have much time, but if I can view them on my day, I just do it.
My favourite movies are of the drama but, I do not think that these represent moments in my life as such, probably it is got to do with my personality or with my thought about of live.
I remember that the movie “Freedom writers”, made me reflect much in themes about the racism, the resilience, the self-motivation and other social topics. On the other hand is the movie “The boy in the striped pyjamas”, that speaks about similar themes in different scenes.

All this, made me think in the life and in the social memory, because both movies are real life stories. I think that are some things that cannot be forgotten for build a best future.
And you, what do you think about this?
