the economic geography!! :)

I like geography in all areas, this career is complete because I can study the environment, the society, the history, the cities and I can travel around the world... I see all!! but, with a  diferent perspective, the spatial perpective.

But I like also other disciplines, as they are the economy, the history, the politics, the art... I really love studies, focused to the society, because my favorite subjet is the economic geography, even more than geopolitic, because the economic geography gives a critical vision about how does influence the neoliberalism and the globalization in the societies, in specially those that are exploited for  other, for the asimetric relations of power.

Well, you now ask yourself : why is funny?, simple, always I said that I like hater, but with arguments!... in special the current society. For example in the class, I study how the companies nationals and transnationals installed in a places, change the relations between the people and the environment with de neoliberal politics, other example are the economic models as the Von Thunen, the Cristaller theory (the central spaces), the territory, etc. but the best theme in the economic geography for me, is the clusters v/s enclaves, for this theme I need study all of the place, because this concepts are similars, but one generate a negative efect (enclaves), instead the other, promote a new economy, favoring all habitants.

VALPARAÍSO IN MY MIND

The photoghraps reflect the especific moment of a time and place, for this reason are subjetives, irreverents, romantics, uniques and eternals. Now, mi favorite picture in this moment portray the places in the citiy, forests, mountain, the social dynamics, culture...and the ridiculous situations, for example the "memes". 

But, now I will write about of a personal photography. This picture was captured in Valparaíso city in May for me during a visit for academic motives in the subjet of the Cultural Geography.

I like this picture because it was captured by me, in this photography, it can be seen as the process of gentrification and the economic interests destroy the city through of the vertical construction with the edifications in alture that do not respect the cultural arquitecture, the traditions and the social relations in the places, altering the landscape.

But, equally I see as the  people from Valparaíso, fight to keep it´s essence, for example painting murals, keeping the colors of their houses and the Bohemia.

I remenber  that a person  told me " Valparaíso is not beautiful , but is romantic" and I think, that person was right.
