My favorite subject of the semester

The classes taught by Professor Ossandon are very quiet. The contents are complex, so some sleep and others listen carefully to the monologue that the teacher does. His voice is very calm, it makes the environment relax and his didactic form of teaching captivates the students who were not overcome by the dream.

I find the subject very interesting because the authors treat very sensitive issues of the twentieth century and advance many of the current social phenomena. What is enlightenment ?, mass culture, cultural industries, technical reproducibility, etc. Are some of the contents that analyze modernity, criticizing the whole structure of inequality and tyranny.

He explains that modernity is the result of four processes: "Reformation", "illustration", "French revolution" and "industrial revolution". To analyze that despite having reached the "promise" of enlightenment, where reason and domination over nature are central to the approach, we come to a twentieth century of total destruction, violence, genocide and irrationality.

I like how they unleashed historical facts to make a harsh criticism of the system. Despite being in the same historical context, they were brave. Perhaps because they were protected by the complexity of their writings, independent of that, they had the courage to divulge their works full of cultural wealth, which today should leave the intellectual circles to be read by a wider population.


I recommend "Critical Theory" with the teacher ossadon, surely you will learn a lot.
