Hi, everbody!

I had not gone to many concerts, but there is one that I can say that is the best concert I’ve seen: The Wall Concert by Roger Waters. It was three years ago, in March 2012, in Estadio Nacional. I wait for this concert for much time, but when the day comes, it was awesome. The concert began with In the flesh and a staging with pyrotechnics and a small plane when the song finished, and everybody were euphoric. The rest of concert was incredible also, even there were homage to the recent student protest and prisoners and missing persons in Dictatorship.

Although I think that The Wall is not the best Pink Floyd’s disc (in fact, first Pink Floyd’s albums are so much better than The Wall), I like this concert because two reasons:  it was the opportunity to see alive even if it were a part of Pink Floyd members, and because the concert was amazing. 

Now I will go to David Gilmour’s Concert in 20^th December and it will be the best concert I’ve seen, because I wait for this concert since I was 12 years old jaja.

 

Hello!

I don´t admire any sociologist especially. I think that to admire someone in academia is not subject to critique. However, I like a lot of sociologist very much. One of them is Nicos Poulantzas. He was a Greek-French Marxist political sociologist born on 21st September 1936 and died on 3rd October 1979. He studied Law in Greece and moved to France to study a doctorate in philosophy of law. From 1968 until his dead, he taught sociology at the University Paris VIII. Poulantzas was married with Annie Laclerc and had one daughter. He killed himself in 1979 by jumping from a ledge.

Poulantzas contributed to Marxist theory of State and classes. From structuralism and his reading of Gramsci, he included political and ideological elements to define classes. His major works are Political Power and Social Classes (1968) Fascism and Dictatorship: The Third International and the Problem of Fascism (1974), Classes in Contemporary Capitalism (1975), The Crisis of the Dictatorships: Portugal, Greece, Spain (1976) and State, Power, Socialism (1978).

I like Poulantzas very much because of his contribution to analysis of classes which allows to understand classes in a more complete form. 

“Drawing Hands” is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M.C. Escher. It was first printed in January 1948. Although it is not photography, I choose it for many reasons. The first of them is that, sincerely, I don´t know so much about photography, so I don´t have any photography that I very like.  Other reasons are the method (lithography) and what I see in this print.  

In “Drawing Hands” one hand is drawing other hand that is drawing the first one. I very like this work because I see in it a principle basic of praxis: the subject that works on the nature, he transforms it at the same time he transforms himself. In “Drawing Hands”, while the hand is drawing other hand, the product of its work (the other hand) is making it, drawing it. It’s very confused to explain. However, this is only an idea, and art has not to be interpreted.
