SECTION 5 CRISTOBAL ORTEGA

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.

I believe that all Chileans have tasted cazuela at some time in their lives, it is one of the most recognized dishes in the country.
