Loreto López

Loreto López González it’s a chileand anthropologist that works studying the memory. She’s part of the “ Programa Psicología Social de la Memoria”, which it means that her contribution it’s about (mainly) the Torture centers, like Londres 38 and Villa Grimaldi, for example.
Today this topic is very important, because this area of the anthropology helps us to understand the dynamics of the detention centers of the military dictatorship. She actually wrote some works about the importance of the memory, and of the reconstruction of history, based in the cases of Villa Grimaldi and Londres 38. Her degree thesis explains that the memory has a social importance, that's why we have to reclaim the ex centers, to reach the true and to remember our comrades that were torture in this places that are hidden by the autorities.
I found her because I had to do a History work about Londres 38, so we had to work with the concepts of memory, that's how I found her degree thesis (Lugares de memoria: narrativas de la represión) which explains the importance of the memory and the true.

Someone I would like to meet

Hi everybody Today I’m gonna talk about someone I would like to meet and it’s really hard to choose, because I don’t admire much people, actually I like soccer so I would like to meet someone like Esteban Paredes, Marcelo Barticciotto, Daniel Moron or Cristiano Ronaldo if I dream big. But now I prefer to choose a woman, which it’s difficult too because there are so many amazing women in the history that I would have liked to met in person, like Gladys Marin or Lady Di. So I’d like to meet the amazing Miley Cyrus. I feel like a teenager, don’t judge me, but I’m a huge fan of Miley, even rock it’s my favorite music style, she is part of my childhood and adolescence. Actually I’ve recently seen the first season of Hannah Montana again. She is an American singer and actress, from Tennesse, his father is a country singer (Billy Ray Cyrus) and her first project was the TV show Hannah Montana . Years ago she did many crazy things  and many people judge her for using drugs and b...

My future job

Image
Hi, today I'm gonna talk about another difficult topic for me, which is MY FUTURE JOB.  I've never thought of where I would like to work in the future, because I'm a undecided person, so I'm always changing my mind and my plans. Actually I wanted to be a history teacher, but then I realized that I wanted to study Anthropology, and then I changed my mind again and realized that I wanted to be an Archaeologist, but it wasn't an easy decision, because I also wanted to be a physical anthropologist too.  So here I am, studying Archaeology, and thinking in what I would like to specialize.   The benefit of this career is that I would have to be in the outdoor most of the time, I like to be on the field, because I think that offices are very boring. I would have to be in office too, analyzing the artifacts, obviously.  So, if I imagine the Valentina of the future, I would like to be in the Norte Chico (which is my favorite subject) investigating some rock shelter...

Post one: A country I would like to visit

Image
Hi there!  If I have to choose one country of the world, I would choose to visit Belgium. I really like this country because it’s not a big one, but it has a lot of beautiful cities with a great architecture. Also, I find interesting the fact that they talk French, German and Flemish. If I could be there, I would like to go to the main cities, like Brussels, Bruges or Ghent, because I have seen photos of it and it seems really amazing the organization and structures of the buildings, because they are heritages from de middle age and the next periods of the development of the European culture. The previous lines may sound really evolutionist, but that’s not my point, sorry for that, I just like the old castles. I would also like to eat chocolate, because the Belgium chocolate is really famous, like the cheese and beer. I think that a good idea is to travel through the country by train, because the landscape is really nice, or that’s what some people have told me. I would lov...
