Foucault

Hello mates, today I am going to talk about a subject I've enjoyed studying this semester. It is a subject about the french philosopher Michael Foucault.

Although I knew something of Foucault's work, the truth is that he had very general ideas about what he wrote. I started with some insecurity, especilly because the name of the subject seemed to be dense: Power and politics in Foucault.

In classes, the professor began explaining the trajectory of the work of the French author, starting with the "History of madness in the classical period", which was his doctoral work. Then we learned about the stages of this work, which are divided into three: archaeological, genealogical and ethical.

Each of these stages is very interesting becasuse they open new questions to the study of human sciences and knowledge. On the archaeological stage, the focus of the meaning changed to who enunciates that discourse; in genealogy, he ask about power and its relation to knowledge; and in ethics, new questions are opened about self-care and will.

While i learned the general framework of this philosopher, what I learned best is that I have a lot to read and study to understand it well!

Yeah!

Hi everyone, today I will talk about a type of music that I like. First, it's important to indicate that this post won't cover everything that pleases me musically, because I have different tastes. I will talk the music of my adolescence and that still it's my favorite: metal.

I started listening to metal about ten years old, influenced by my older brother. However the first bands I heared were "little metal", it was "glam rock", like Poison, Motley Crue, and others like that. At that time, without Internet, we only had access to re-recorded cassettes. Basically, I listened to what my brother brought home. 

Over time, the style of music was more and more heavy. entering 'heavy metal', like Iron Maiden, 'death metal', like Sepultura, and 'thrash metal', like Metallica and Slayer (Tom Araya, in the photo, is the voccalist and bassist in Slayer). These bands, and others like Megadeth, were my favorites for years. I went to many concerts, I had long hair and I wore black shirts.

Over the years, I began to explore others styles and, particularly, I like 'classic rock' and progressive rock'. From there I explored  'progressive metal'. I think it's my favorite style. I listen in this moment Dream Theather, I love them!
