Antofagasta Antofagasta, a city of ugly


time ago I spoke with a photographer who traveled Chile, for the typical Bicentennial project, collecting faces. Thus, he said that his experience in the Antofagasta region were the ugliest faces Chile.
immediately reply to the opinion of the photographer is xenophobia, perhaps the Andean indigenous component is higher than elsewhere in the country and that most Chileans is considered ugly, but clarified its reasons. The first was related to high solar radiation to which we are exposed daily. The sun shatters the skin, but causes some unusual spots. For this here, she could find many faces, weird, sick and ultimately faces, ugly faces that was what he wanted. Now, well what was his concept of ugliness? Photography is a lie that captures the soul, he said. Trash. The photography is beautiful or ugly, but through a good photograph an ugly face, can be beautiful. So, he said, pictures of ugly Antofagasta going to end up being beautiful on a point of light management. We must seek the light, find the angles, find the texture, if texture. Anyway it is a subjective, he said. But he went further, the photos could capture the whole essence of the city, a city of ugly in certain circumstances and an ugly city with ambition that here you can make more money. The cost is ugliness in the background. A second aspect
faces of Antofagasta, he said, which can give the feeling of ugliness I seek is the history of arsenic contaminated water. The formula: arsenic and solar radiation are lethal to the skin. They make shit. Over the years this can be seen in the faces of the grandparents in the spots on your skin, especially in the clams. Then the photographer decided to seek the face of the grandparents, the most stained. I do not homeless people, ordinary people want and can give me Antofagasta.
Forget the more affluent sectors of the city, he said, where people and throughout Chile has a clear European component, which reveals itself as a xenophobic country, some call class, but that is another matter.
After waiting in the street Matta, the most popular in every corner, as well as recommended, the photographer did some of their focus on that day. In fact, he said, the sun has done shit to Antofagasta, as well as the pressure of work (may be of mining), alcohol in men, which the fan-water hair withered women, poor diet, eat fewer vegetables and fruits, and disinterest in the locker room. I stuck with the latter. He said, basically, bad taste. However clarified that accomplished one of the best photos of their work and that captured the essence of Antofagasta.

Anonymous Constitution a year after the tsunami



- After all still believe in God?
The woman in charge of residential without tourists, small and bright eyes behind his glasses fashioned frame, responded with the look on my chin, that yes, God had not abandoned, but the rest had left. The rest, as specified sat drinking tea, and repeating the catch phrase, my child, for in the Constitution, men are treated by the village women and children, my children were tourists, the tourists have not returned your money but you understand that is well-fear-because everything is very fresh here, water reached the station, some feet below, in an area known as the beach-close, was tremendous.

- Do not you fear the sea?
-A mother who was bathing with her daughter, 7 years on the shores of the beach next to the monstrous rocks, those with forms of Gothic chapels, those with forms of mammoth, looked at me and then walked a few yards with his son , who had to stop playing with the gray sand after my impertinence.
After this, I chose to observe.

The schock doctrine



"The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein is a necessary book to understand how we become the country we are. Klein is a Canadian journalist with a progressive, whose research has earned him many awards and respect for the world's most influential intellectuals.
If you can summarize, the 2007 book argues that governments and companies use natural disasters like the Asian tsunami, and other man-made, as the war in Iraq, the attacks of September 11, 2001 and especially dictatorships in Latin America to adopt policies friendly to businesses and transform societies from the root. All this can be called disaster capitalism.
In this sense, Naomi Klein ascribes to Milton Friedman, the guru of the famous Chicago school of economics-in the cold war, the invention of the shock doctrine.
The shock has two crucial moments: Disaster and reconstruction. About the disaster can be natural or manmade. The reconstruction is where the capitalist gear and the subjugation of the masses.
shock, basically, is the technique of subjugation of the masses or "receteo" of society. Governments today need the shock, hence the communion capitalism and militarism. Current evidence found in Iraq. Before it was Russia and China. However
the first country in the world where applied "schock doctrine," according to declassified CIA documents, was in Chile post 1973.
In our country, the conditions were for the experiment. We laboratory mice.
all started in the early 60's, when the CIA tipped off by the pace of development in the Southern Cone (Argentina, Uruguay and Chile) and its tendency to the left, decided to interfere. This will materialize an agreement between the U. U. of Chicago and Catholic, young Chileans to study economics under the doctrine of Friedman, which basically favored the free market at its most extreme, in the end, the market regulates everything.
Once the first people arrived in Chicago, known as the "Chicago Boys", set up their "church" in the U. Catholic.
With the advent of Allende to power, was blatant U.S. intervention. The time for the "Chicago Boys" came with Pinochet. The implementation of free-market experiments and its wave of privatizations in the beginning jaqueó the economy. Increased unemployment. Increased hunger. However, the repression of the era, with electroshock in between, kept people crushed.
At a time when Pinochet questioned the handling of the "Chicago Boys", but these brought him to his charismatic guru. Pinochet was pleased with Friedman, and privatization continued to delight the speculators, ultimately, the new rich of the country, Piñera, one of them-and unfortunately for the people. The welfare state of the 60 ultimately went to archeology. Unfortunately
part of the history of Chile, is in the archives of the CIA.
Currently in Chile, 7 communes or a little more live in Norway or other developed country, and the rest of Chile transpires. According to Friedman, this is the "Chilean miracle."
