Pamela Jiles 





Pamela Jiles is a Chilean journalist who is currently engaged in entertainment, but previously she did programs and wrote books about dictatorship and after this she focus on writing about sexuality. She was tortured and sexually abused during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile. She lived in Cuba because of the Communist political tendency of her family. She is the granddaughter of the feminist activist Elena Caffarena from whom she learned a lot about women's rights.

She wrote a book with María Olivia Mönckeberg, director of ICEI entitled “Crimen under state of siege” and also participated in magazines like Apsi, Análisis and Fortín Mapocho. She has participated in several television programs like Vértigo, SQP, Mentiras verdaderas y Primer Plano.

I admire Pamela Jiles a lot because even tho she had excelent qualifications in college, she was able to get away from the traditional journalism and focus on the area she really wanted, showbusiness, even if it wasn't considered professional enough. 

I also admire her critical thinking and her direct style. Without wanting to sound intellectual, I must admit that the show business bores me, but I think Pamela Jiles managed to create a mix between the entertaiment world, politics, feminism and social conscience, that's why I admire this woman.

    An incredible journalist. I'm glad you rescue her story and admire her way of being on screen. She is a very good communicator.

    I love Pamela Jiles and her idea of going to vote for Osandón in the primaries of Chile Vamos. I would love it to work well and that Piñera stays with the desire to be president.

My favorite technological object is my box of memories because it is able to gather experiences, good and bad moments in one place.  I can not say that I use it frequently because it is not functional in my daily life, but when I want to remember people or facts I turn to it. I bought it a few years ago and previously kept my memories in a shoebox. I like this box because it goes with the style of my room and can save all things of sentimental value.  In a disaster, like a fire, my box of memories would be the first thing I would try to save. My life without it would be very sad, because I value much the symbolic elements and in it I have memories of many years, even decades. I keep things that remind me of my family, my school days and people who are no longer that I would not want to lose memories of.

Evaluation of Blog Experience

It has always been a trouble for me to understand the english language. The dedication to english was poor in my school even tough they promised to be a bilingual institution. My teacher never had patience and being in her classes was a real torture. For 14 years, English has been my frustration. My experience with blogs has been quite nice, some topics are very interesting and others are not so much. I liked the methodology and I think it is a good place to get to know each other better and learn at the same time. It is very entertaining and exciting to write about the topics we like and write them in English. Is a very big challenge. I think my writing skills have improved a lot, because those features are improved with daily practice, which is why I consider blogs to be a good way to practice writing in English. In the future I would like to include more free topics blogs, because it is more entertaining to write about what one likes and not about pre-established topi...

A Subject You've Enjoyed.

My favorite subject of this semester is Critical Theory, is a very theoretical branch where the society and its hierarchical structures are analyzed. This subject is based on Marxist theories and for this reason we have to read authors like Antonio Gramsci, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engel, Adorno and Horkheimer.  The classes are held every Friday afternoon by teacher Pierina Ferretti, in these classes the teacher exposes and explains the ideas of the authors studied and at the end every topic carries out an evaluation. In all these classes the requested texts are analyzed and topics such as cultural industry, power, the strength of ideas, hegemony and art are addressed.  In addition to the main class we have back up classes, made by the assistant teacher Diego Rivera. He's a sociology student at the Catholic University and in his classes we do written works where we must apply the contents seen with the teacher.  This subject is my favorite because it really does not se...
