Hello Hello kittens
Today is an opinion day.
What is our opinions about this way of learn? the blogging way?
In my opinion it is a little boring. Have to sit in front of a computer is very boring for me. I prefer write in a paper and then read it in class and talk about it and comment it in class. That would be so much fun for me.
However, blogging is a good way to express ideas and practice a language, because when we write, and we talk too, we practice a lot. I prefer write in a paper more than anything, but in these times, people is a very good with technology and computers so I think blog is very good option to these people, because they can express theirs self writing and sharing in the cyberworld. I don't think this way was the best way to improve my english, but help to practice and don't forget that already know, and maybe I learn something new but in this moment I can see it, maybe now I can express myself better than three months ago, but only writing not talking.
I really didn't enjoy it, like in this moment, I am really tired and I really prefer not doing it, but it would be interesting read the others opinions and wait that in the future my english improve.
Bye bye

Hello People
On this term my favourite subject at university was "Death and eroticism". That is a very good class. We study the occidental body representation from Classical Greece to body arts in the post avant-garde movements in the last century. The class starts from the hypothesis that the body representation is related to the life and death problems and this problems are the erotismo, these problems conform the eroticism because eroticism is part of the forces of life and death.
The course is very fun, we read Nietzsche "The birth of tragedy" a very good book to understand our bodily situation, our context.
Here I leave a quote for you to read and be erotized and live.
“Suppose a human being has thus put his ear, as it were, to the heart chamber of the world will and felt the roaring desire for existence pouring from there into all the veins of the world, as a thundering current or as the gentlest brook, dissolving into a mist—how could he fail to break suddenly? How could he endure to perceive the echo of innumerable shouts of pleasure and woe in the "wide space of the world night," enclosed in the wretched glass capsule of the human individual, without inexorably fleeing toward his primordial home, as he hears this shepherd's dance of metaphysics? But if such a work could nevertheless be perceived as a whole, without denial of individual existence; if such a creation could be created without smashing its creator—whence do we take the solution of such a contradiction?”

Beauty for Denis Dutton
Everybody likes american jazz?
Everyone in this world likes western bodies, white, tall and thin?
Denis Dutton begins his thoery of beauty with, in my opinion, a wrong argument: there is something universal and comun in every human experiences of beauty.
when he introduces his theory he takes a small and arbitrarily different artistic representations, saying things like: "the Japanese are fascinated by beethoven". I think he start with a big problem because he just see a few things and he is not exhaustive when he refers of what he is talking about, not even referred to another theory or author as a support.
I think there are many local things typical of a specific places for example women who are adorned with rings on the neck or the men and women who are perforated parts of the face or the body, or cultures where beauty is in the carnal body in healthy bodies who eat well. That's what comes to my head right now. I don't see a clear connection in all of these topics.
I really think Dutton is a "pinche gringo cabrón". He thinks natural selection of Darwin theory guarantees the experience of beauty with natural context and the other men on earth and I think: That is SO NAZI!

About my favorite artist?
That is not my way of think. I don't have a single favorite thing in the world.
But, thinking in this request I remembered the work of an artist of the seventies which is actually being exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts. His name is Gordon Matta-Clark.
I like him because he modifies the views and he relativizes the stable forms, the orderly and conventional of see. He opens a new path for experience different ways of look and feel.
He is famous for his "building cuts," a series of works in abandoned buildings in which he variously removed sections of floors, ceilings, and walls, as you can see in the pictures. With those activities he can change the aspect of buildings or houses and with that new shape he can change the places, the contexts.
His artwork is very interesting for me because is a way to re-conceptualize preconditioned roles and relationships.
For those resons I am thinking in his work right now, because hi proposed somthing diferent like many other artistis that I also like. Isn't one way of see.
