A Job

In this opportunity I am going to write about the job I would like to have. The job I would like to have is like an investigator, because I think it would be an activity where I can help to produce knowledge with autonomy, or at least autonomy about the orientation of the produce. I imagine these work would be very difficult, because in the work of investigate I think it need group work, with responsibility and order, considering also the coherence between the people who conform the team, and all these thing could be very difficult. I would like to work outdoor and indoor, because in the process of investigate, I think the work outdoor can give you more motivation and elements to incentivize the sociological imagination, but however you have to participate in the processing of data, like a part of the same work.

I think this is very problematic if we take the reflection contained in the “cuaderno 8” and the marxist perspective, because, if well we can accept the important role of the “pueblo” in the political struggle, this perspective can not be hidden in the fact about how the "pueblo" is conformed by very different kind of social fractions, with different interests in social class, like workers, non-exploitative little bourgeoisie, contradictory middle classes and pauperised sectors, among others (Marín, 2000). I think this is an important point, because, despite the importance of the unity of the “pueblo”, this does not say anything about the hegemonic interest or conduction in the popular bloc or "pueblo". For example this point, we can see the Venezuelan process, where, despite the unity of the popular bloc against the old regime, the confrontation an...

The "cuaderno 8" and the cojuncture

The “cuaderno 8” is a text of the sociology Juan Carlos Marín, which is focused on collecting elements, particularly from Lenin's political theory, in order to constitute these theoretical coordinates as tools for the analysis of modern society. In this sense, it is possible to consider that its reading allows to find with particular reflections regarding the situation that Chilean society is going through, as well as to raise some questions. The first two theoretical coordinates that we can consider are, on the one hand, the idea that classes or social fractions are transformating with the movement of the confrontations that make up the class struggle, while on the other hand, these confrontations always express the development of the class struggle in its three fields: the field of political struggle where the regime and the people confront each other, where the latter is understood as the set of those social fractions excluded from power; the field of social struggle where diffe...
