Chile Seminar Noviembre 8, 2012

Seminario: Jueves 8 de Noviembre, Haas School of Business.

Hola a todos,

Educación y vivienda son dos de los temas esenciales del desarrollo social, junto con salud y ciencia. Una niña o un niño expuesto a un profesor motivado, viviendo en un hogar digno tiene menos posibilidades de vivir luego en la pobreza que aquella o aquel que carece de ambos. 

En sus exposiciones, Miguel Órdenes ("Pago por Mérito a Docentes: Notas desde la Sociología Económica") y Patricio Domínguez ("Campamentos, Vivienda y Acceso a la Ciudad en Chile")  nos ofrecen sus perspectivas en estos temas. Miguel nos hablará de la importancia de los (des)incentivos económicos a los profesores y Patricio nos contará de los desafios en vivienda, desde su experiencia como gerente de "Un techo para Chile."

Nos juntaremos en:

Lugar: Cheit 250 Haas School of Business (http://www.berkeley.edu/map/3dmap/3dmap.shtml?haasbusiness)

Hora: 7 pm

Fecha: Jueves 8 de Noviembre

Para confirmar o para contarnos de cualquier idea o pregunta, escríbannos: Francisco Herrera (fjherreru@gmail.com) o Pablo Hernández (pablo.ignacio.h.l@gmail.com).

Beatriz Manz nos envia este video



"Te envío este video porque Stan Ovshinsky, de 90 años, está en estado de coma.  Uno de los momentos mas mágicos de su vida fue ir a Paranal en octubre del 2009, invitado por el gobierno de Michelle Bachelet.    Vimos el video con lagrimas en los ojos.  

Lástima no haberlo mostrado en UC Davis el fin de semana pasado....."

Series: Cine Latino

Tony Manero
Directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2008)

Raul, a psychopathic, middle-aged thug in Pinochet’s Chile, becomes obsessed with the disco king immortalized by John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever.” Dreaming of winning a Tony Manero look-and-dance-alike contest, Raul devotes most of his time to perfecting his act and the rest wreaking shocking violence in this award-winning thriller from acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín. 98 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles.

“More than an indelible portrait of a sociopath with the soul of a zombie, ‘Tony Manero’ is an extremely dark meditation on borrowed cultural identity.” — Stephen Holden, The New York Times

Series: Cine Latino

Post-Mortem
Directed by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2010)

Set at the time of the 1973 coup in Chile, “Post Mortem” follows the path of Mario, a dour coroner’s assistant obsessed with his neighbor, a burlesque dancer. As his morgue begins to fill with bodies, and her left-wing friends are hunted down, the social fabric is torn asunder, revealing previously hidden destructive impulses. 98 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles.

“[Post Mortem] positively crackles with strangeness and an oppressive sense that the awfulness of what was happening was being ingested into the national bloodstream.” —Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
