My favorite job

My favorite job.

My favorite job this semester has been the incredible story behind a ceramic object. The investigated ceramic object is a house ceded by the Banco del Estado to the public between 1980 and 1983. I dedicated myself to review archives and research old and new documents, background, positions and companies, the great compensations granted in Dictatorship and after the Dictatorship, to read yesterday with the eyes of today and today with the perspective of that moment.

From these reflections on what was lived, what was investigated and what was observed arose, what was questioned about our past (economic crisis of 1980) and today in Chile.

I ordered the background while it continued and this is how I understood Chile, the observation of the events that have taken place in our country in the last decade and the events of the last months and years, leads me to conclude that after the dictatorship moved by the threads of economic interests that have names and surnames. Of course, I have seen, since the end of the seventies, in some cases, that the same power network that governed with Augusto Pinochet is still valid today, trying to influence the economic and political development of the country with its words and actions.

A society can not live or deepen its democracy without information, the lack of information about ourselves and what happens around us seems to be one of the ailments of our country. It is a visible fact that in the media there is no plurality, particularly in the written press, which traditionally, and until now, have been of opinion. What gives me a diffuse image, each being deserves the truth.

Well, that was one of my most entertaining projects during this semester, have a nice day.
