Friedrich Nietzsche



This is a German philosopher. He was born in 1844, studied in Leipzig and taught philology in Basilea. He writes a lot of books including original topics, he invent new terms for explain his ideas, he saw all the humane culture with other focus. In 1889 suffer an attack and fall in Turin. He don`t recover the sanity. He dies in 1900 and his last books are publishing posthumously. In the twenty century, the Nazism read his work and changed his ideas
Nietzsche is a philosopher who writes about almost all. The art`s topics are disperse in his books, he don`t made a esthetic systematic, his esthetic`s writers show the important to art for him. He develops two ideas to art: the apolineous and the dionisiacous. The first represent the order and the harmony, the second represent the disorder. This two artistic’s instinct represent the fight that covers all art of the history. Nietzsche developed this in his first book “the born of the tragedy”. The Greek tragedy for Nietzsche was the art par excellence since in the tragedy fought all things of the existence. The suffering and the happiness

Alfredo Jaar

I don´t remember when I knew to Jaar´s work. maybe knew him when made the Telefónica exposition in 2006.
The principal theme of Jaar is about social. He tries show us the things that we not see usually. He is very critcize about the modern life and his system capitalist, since the world now is very fast and foments the individualism way, the people only think in self and they don´t worry for other people.
The working-class, the mining, the poor people in general are the characters that find us in the work of Jaar.
The wall-steet was disturbed when the wrote: "THIS IS NOT AMERICA" in a mega screen, he wanted say that in USA is not American, since whole continent is American, but the work more important is the Rwanda project, where Jaar report the genocide in this country.
The Jaar´s exhibitions are always very interesting, since include a simple way in his pictures, he is a great photographer and a person very intelligent and whit social conscience.
Jaar is an artist incorrect politic, and before Roberto Matta, maybe is the chilean artist more important in the world

THE BBC WEBSITES

In general, I think the website is great. The combination of the website is good, since we can see and hear any matter. The divisions are clear and cover a lot of matter, such as the politics, the culture, the sports, the languages, etc. Each matter has his respective division and expands in different category. Whit internet we can gain access to learn and inform us. That is the advantage of this time, thing that before were not possible.
The language`s category is very interesting, it is very interactive and it have many levels with exercises. Learn English is more easy when hear and there is interaction. There are different exercises depend the difficult for each level. When we doing exercises interaction, is more easy remember the contains.
There is one video in especial that I liked a lot, the video show to England´s Princess Elizabeth when she was four year old. The recording was made in January of 1931, and shows the princess pose to photography. I think that recording is a historic document, should keep.

earthquake (february, 27)

When happened it, i was in my flat. I live in the fourth level, I wake up immediately and I went to room of my mother, since she is afraid of earthquake. When the earthquake finish, all things and books of the shelf were in the floor.
I were not nervous in this moment, since never have been fear of earthquake, I were relaxed, but all the people of my building got out very frightened, they were shout while down the stairs.
In my flat there was not major damage, only very disorder, all things were in the floor and some things broke, such as glass and plates, but nothing important, also some of my books broke his binding.
In general, the family doesn`t had things for regret, only the scare, since the telephones cut off.
Those are some experiences about the earthquake. They aren`t too incredible
