1.- Who am I?

Hello everyone! My name is Cristóbal Ortega and im 21 years old. I borned in Punta Arenas, Magallanes, the most austral region in the world! Now a days im living in Santiago de Chile because im studing Anthropology, but it is not my first try to studing a carreer. In 2019 i was studing music composition but i had a vocational crisis and i unfortunally leaved. After that i took a merchant seaman course in Valparaíso to work in the austral canals near my city in a turistic company. I worked on that all the second semester of 2019, when i finally decided to study anthropology at the Austral University in Valdivia. The specialty at Austral University was social anthropology, but after a while i decided that i wanted to dedicate myself to archaeology, so i had to switch to "Universidad de Chile" where i am currently studying. About my family, i have a little sister who is 11 years old, i live with my mother and i visit my father frequently. I also have a cat named Miel and two dogs named Flo and Loba. I have a very large family which is a little uncomfortable, but i love them all very much. Almost all my family lives in Punta Arenas except for some who live in Santiago. Punta Arenas is a very beautiful city but it is very cold and windy. I really like to come back to my city, because there is a really good food. For example there is a good restaurant called "kiosko roca" where we eat "choripan" sandwiches and banana milk.


Here you can see a great picture of my dog Flo wearing an adidas sweatshirt.



This is a selfie with my little sister Victoria. 



Here is a photo taken at 4 o'clock in the morning, in one of the work shifts when i was working as a merchant seaman. 




This photo was taken in one of my trips through the "Estrecho de Magallanes". The site is called "Cruz de Froward" and is the most southern point of the American continent.

    Hello Cristobal, I think it's interesting that you were a merchant seaman at some point, I didn't know anyone who was. Good luck in your life now.

5.- Bruno Latour

Hello everyone, it's me again. Today I'm going to talk to you about Bruno Latour, a French philosopher that I admire very much and who unfortunately died last October 9. Latour is one of the most influential thinkers of the last decades. The field in which he works crosses topics such as political philosophy, anthropology and, especially, ecology. Latour was born in Beaune, France, in 1947. He studied philosophy, then became interested in anthropology. He did his fieldwork in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He later became interested in the philosophy of science and ecology. Unfortunately, he died on October 9, 2022, from pancreatic cancer. The reason why I admire this thinker is that, since I started studying anthropology (3 years ago) I was always being taught classical anthropological theory, explanations that were situated in contexts very remote from my own. However, when I started reading Latour, I realized how classical discussions can be grounded in a contemporary context, in par...

3.- My favourite piece of technology

Technology is something that is all around us in our daily lives. This is why it is very difficult for me to choose a specific object. There are too many aspects to judge what piece of technology is my fauvorite, for example: to comunicate, to have fun, to work, to learn, etc. But, undoubtedly, the object that meet all these characteristics is my computer. I use my computer to read, write, play video games, communicate (by email or whatsapp) or see movies. The functions of a computer are very complete, it is very useful for university and for chilling out, thats why it is my fauvorite piece of technology. The effects of the computer in my life are positive and negative. For example, a positive aspect is that I can use it to do my university tasks and reads. Unfortunately, however, the computer takes a lot of my concentration because I have all my games on it. Then, when I must read or do some homework, I tend to lose concentration easily playing video games. In conclusion I recomen...
