Marianne Schnitger (1860- 1954)

Marianne Schnitger, German sociologist and feminist. Married to Max Weber and author of the publication of his masterpiece: "Economy and society".

From 1984, she began to be part of feminist activities, in which she started out by her friendship with the leader of the Federation of Associations of German Women, Gertrud Baümer. She also worked with her husband to increase the share of women in universities.

One of his main works is: "Authority and autonomy in marriage".

She was one of the first women to obtain a PhD and was also influential even in front of the men of her time. His writings question the role of man and propose education as a way to equality. He denounced the double feminine day and the salary inequality for the same work.

In the same sense, It struggled to achieve the autonomy of women and defended the equality of women in education, in participation in socio-economic life and in the contribution of women to science and culture.
It is also important because it was one of the first to coincide feminism with class struggle.

Blog Session 5: A photograph you like

Hi again!
Today I'm gonna talk about a photograph that I took this summer. In it my brother and uncle appear walking towards the center of Caburga Lake. 
This photo was taken on a trip around all the south of Chile that we did this year with my family.
More specifically it was a day that we should have returned, but we decided to stay one more week and I was very happy, it reminds me of that moment
More than the photo, I like it because it represents all the moments that I lived with my family in that summer. It reminds me of the air, the weather, even the smells.
Pucón is one of my favorites places of Chile, not only for the place itself, but for what being there means to me. 
Well, also I like the photo because under my perspective has a good play of lights and captures to a certain extent the breadth of the southern landscapes.
Finally it always good to put puppies!

Film: Nocturnal Animals (2016)

The Nocturnal Animals is a neo-noir psychological thriller film written, produced and directed by Tom Ford (who also is a model designer). The movie based in the novel "Tony and Susan" by Austin Wrigth. The neo-noir psychological thriller means dark movie with a orientation that appeal to the subjective fears of the viewer, also has a dark aesthetic that create a suspense climate. 
The film takes place in three differents moments, first, the "real world" in which Susan Morrow (interpreted by Amy Adams) receives a books written by her exhusband Edward Sheffield (interpreted by Jake Gyllenhall). So this moment is based on her reading it.
By the way, the name of this book is "nocturnal animals". 
The second moment passes within the novel, in which the protagonist of the novel, in short, seeks justice for the rape and murder of his wife and daughter, inside which he dies in an absurd manner, alluding to his inability to be in charge of his family.
Then, in the moment in the real world, but in the present, in the state of shock due to the crisis of the story, Susan seeks to meet Edward to talk about something terrible that caused him to separate, but he never arrived.
I like how two stories so different (the "real" Susan and the book), a melancholy and another violent, are combined in a single universe with their own laws on love lost. The hurt emotion of Susan takes possession of one, just as one can feel Edward's (with the reading that is made there of the book he has written).

It is a metaphor of how monogamous love can be distorted to the point of generating the most raw emotions, which managed to portray with excellent performances and games of time.

I take it as a criticism of the established way of love and above all how it can pass from happiness to situations of human cruelty.

that's all again!
