When I had
to decide for a career, I was worried about the subjects I would learn and how the
university would broach them. So I applied to Psychology at Universidad de
Chile, especially because I realized it shares the faculty with other
disciplines that are related to the social area too (‘Facultad de Ciencias
Sociales’). In that sense, I would say that I admire the way Víctor Jara lived
and died. I believe he could understand the spirit of their fellow countrymen
and fellow countrywomen. He was born on 1932. The family was poor. His mother
and father were always at work; he was illiterate, she knew how to read a
little bit. Almost everybody thinks that Victor only was a singer, but he participated
on the chorus of the church, he went to the military, he studied to be an actor
(instead of that, he preferred to direct), he went over this country to rescue
popular poetry and he took part of one of the greatest moments of the chilean history
(brief, but deeply intense). Well, to understand the psychology it is crucial
to know different areas of the life.

At school, I just learned the flute, the drums and the metallophone. But that was a simply mark, I never played any instrument for real. The music, and every artistic discipline, needs perseverance. As I didn’t have it, I couldn’t feel what’s create music like. Because of that, I’m just an admirer, a listener of all kind of styles. Currently, the music is one of my favourite companions. And the greatest thing is that I don’t recognize her beginning or h...

ReplyDeleteI think the courage of Victor Jara has a lot of things to say to the discipline of psychology
