An expert on my field, David Harvey

David Harvey is a english geographer recognized at the global level for its large number of publications in relation to the current geography, looking at it from a social point of view, even though he is able to relate topics such as politics, economy, society and territory.

In his beginnings, he was interested in the historical and quantitative geography, belonging to the current geography classic, but in the years 70 arrives in Baltimore (USA) and begins to be interested by a current completely opposite to the classic, that is the radical current.

Harvey is also renowned for its great contributions to this current linked to marxist theory.

Personally, I was fortunate enough to attend a conference that gave last year at the Catholic University, on that occasion the auditorium was full of people eager to listen, not only people of geography but that of other areas of knowledge because Harvey transcends in the social sciences. It was a conference really fascinating.

In my opinion, I think that is a great geographer has managed to create theories that are adjusted to the reality of the modern world in which we live, governed practically by capitalism.

Until is looking at Karl Marx 😂

THE SHINING, one of my favorite movies

This movie is directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring by Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd in the year 1980.

The shining is one of my favorite movies because I love the storyline, is very interesting, intriguing and original.

Jack Nicholson for its part if a makes a great interpretation, with your face of crazy and him performance that leave me very impressed. Also Danny acted very well together with Shelly Duvall.

The history is based in one family that travels to take care of a hotel in the mountain during the winter. Jack is a writer and his wife is a housewife, together they have a son, Danny, which has telepathic abilities, as well as the chef of the hotel, which succeeds in establishing psychic contact. In the passing of the history, Jack begins to hallucinate. Finally, he  seeks to kill his family but under a trance psyche. Thanks to the telephatic skills  of Danny and the connection that achieved with him chef, was able to request help, achieving saved along with his mother.

This is a very good film according to my opinion, I hope you like it!

My favorite photograph

This photograph was taken by my boyfriend Camilo, during a trip to the south in July of this year, specifically in the Todos los Santos lake. This photograph is very important for both, as we had always dreamed of seeing a wonderful Martín Pescador, which is the name of this bird, which is the name of this bird that in Chile is seen only in the south and in aquatic environments, given his food.

We were on the shores of lake when he arrived this beautiful female to perch on an iron in the water, at a small distance from us. It was then when we took out the camera and started photographing it. It was a beautiful time, as it gave us the impression that he was posing for us.

Among all the photos that we took, this was the best. Without doubt, this photograph reminds me of the excitement I felt when he saw her so close and majestic.

Pescado Rabioso, my favorite band

My favorite band is Pescado Rabioso, led by Luis Alberto Spinetta, one of the best composers of Latin America in my opinion.

This band was born in Argentina in the year 1971 and was dissolved in 1973. Despite the short time that lasted the band, left for the history of humanity 3 great disks, which are: Destormentándonos (1972), Pescado 2 (1973) and Artaud (1973).

Knowing this band marked a before and an after in my life. I opened the way to other musical styles and other disks in the "Flaco" Spinetta. When you hear Artaud for the first time, I questioned everything I had heard before and enjoyed it more than any other he had ever heard. I am infinitely grateful to my dear friend Belem who with much affection I transferred the disks of Pescado Rabioso to my old mp3.

The perfect combination between the electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, makes this band a delight for the ears, in addition to its wonderful letters. Their songs are true poetry musicalized.  Listen to these discs always make me feel better when I am not very well and I don't get bored of listening.

I leave the links of each disc, if you don't know and have the desire to listen to one of the best bands in Latin America.
