Photograph

This photograph was taken by my friend Claudia Acevedo. It shows a road of Valparaíso in January of 2010, and she took it in your holidays.

I like it because this is a beautiful place, and I like the perspective of this photograph even though my friend isn’t a professional photographer (she is sociologist). When I see this image I would like to walk in this road as these persons of the photograph.

Also, this place is very important because you can see the material heritage of our country, for example in the image you can see the old buildings with his special form of construction and the “adoquines” in the road.

Although in this case the architecture is very important, the immaterial heritage is important too, for example would be very interesting for me to can know anything about the histories of the persons who live in these buildings, because your testimonies are a part of the history of our country.

Also, in this image I can see that the first floors of the buildings are used as commercial centers, and this demonstrate that this place can have the same form a long time, but the history of your residents are in a constant movement. For example, I imagine that the clothes of the girls isn’t the same that your grandparents used, and probably your way of thinking changed too.

I love this place although I don’t know this road of Valparaíso. I want to visit it in the next weeks when I finish the works and exams, for to relax me and to know more about this place, maybe I will try to take a good photograph for other post jijij

Mi work of Rural Sociology

A few weeks ago I did an interview for a work of rural sociology, and I must do an analysis about the rural history, the institution of the “Hacienda” and the process of the “reforma agraria” for example.

However, the most interesting about this work is that I went to place called Peor es Nada, where live don José, my interviewee. He is a very nice and interesting person; He tells me about your life and your rule as leader of an “asentamiento” in this place when was the process of “reforma agraria”.

The moment of the interview was very funny because I went with my family and they participated of the conversation… I think that they missed that the interview was for a work and my idea was to hear only to don José! XD

Then of the interview we went to visit some relatives hadn’t seen in a long time. It was very moving for me, in special when I saw to sister of my grandmother; because they are very similar and she did me remember her. She gave me apples and very delicious quinces !!!

Well, finally the most important thnig don’t was the work of Rural Sociology.
