The Sweep of Nostalgia | Ben Casnocha
"When you call upon dormant memories, you change them in the process. You remember the most recent version of your memory + whatever present lens you’re using at the time of recall. In other words, how I changed since I left shaped how I remembered what I once experienced."

Some months ago, I watched…Nostalgia for the Light. It’s about the astronomy done in the Atacama desert …The film juxtaposes the work of scientists in the desert who look to the sky for answers, with old women just miles away who look to the ground for answers, searching for the bones of relatives assassinated by the Pinochet regime and buried in the desert. The film is about the connection between the past and the future, ground and sky. It’s also about memory.

In the film, director and narrator Patricio Guzman says, “Those who have a memory are able to live in the fragile present moment. Those who have none, don’t live anywhere.”"

Ana Tijoux: Addressing Global Unrest In Rhyme : NPR
"Because Tijoux grew up in French culture, it took time and effort before she could speak Spanish comfortably. She says she still has plenty to learn about the Latin side of her identity — which is why she probably won't make an album in French anytime soon.

"All the countries in South America — I was just in Peru, Columbia and Brazil — every time it's like, 'Wow, I have to travel more, I've got to mix more with Latin American music, I've got to know more of where we come from!'" she says. "And I've got to be honest: I love to rap in a language where I can go to Mexico and they understand me, [or] I can go to Panama. I love when people can understand what I'm talking about.""

Civil rights in Chile: Maid refuses to get on bus - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee
"In today's Chile, however, human rights activists are challenging low pay, long hours and discrimination that afflict domestic workers. And so Pinto's decision to skip the bus has lit debate on social networks and has filled newspaper pages and radio and TV broadcasts with commentary. Thousands signed on to an Internet campaign against the subdivision's protocols, and about 20 people demonstrated in front of the gates on Saturday, some dressed as zombies in maid uniforms…

Marta Lagos, who directs the international Latinobarometro survey, said "Chile is an extremely tolerant country in terms of diversity. But having solidarity with your equals is one thing, and another is tolerance toward people who are different. This country is segmented, segregated: there are workers, the poor, and the rich, and each one of these segments is seen as bad by the other."

First Listen: Ana Tijoux, 'La Bala' : NPR
"I've always admired Tijoux's ability to melt the Spanish language like plastic and reconstitute it, putting accents and inflections wherever she pleases. But something has hardened in her, and that's not a bad thing.

There was speculation that La Bala (The Bullet) was named after an incident — for which Chilean police have taken responsibility — that killed 16-year-old Manuel Gutiérrez Reinoso during a protest in Chile. In a recent interview, Tijoux denied that. I'd say she herself is a bullet: strong, steady and piercing.

In that same interview, Tijoux said she believes there's no such thing as a coincidence. The petrifaction of Tijoux's ire in the period between 1977 and La Bala and its parallels in current politics speak to something we children of Latin American runaways know quite well: Those who spend their youth shadowboxing their parents' political boogeymen tend to grow into good fighters. (Or fantastically talented rappers.)"

Chile rising - Fault Lines - Al Jazeera English [embedded video]
"Chilean students have taken over schools and city streets in the largest protests the country has seen in decades.

The students are demanding free education, and an end to the privatisation of their schools and universities. The free-market based approach to education was implemented by the military dictator Augusto Pinochet in his last days in power.

The protests are causing a political crisis for Sebastian Pinera, the country's president. But what are the underlying issues driving the anger?

As the demonstrations in Chile coincide with protests erupting globally, Fault Lines follows the Chilean student movement during their fight in a country plagued by economic inequality."

Patricio Guzmán’s ‘Nostalgia for the Light’ to Open - NYTimes.com
"What finally enabled Mr. Guzmán to make “Nostalgia for the Light,” which opens on Friday at the IFC Center in Greenwich Village, was his realization that the subjects he wanted to address did have a point in common: the preservation of memory. The women who comb the desert looking for the remains of loved ones who disappeared under the dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet share that trait with the archaeologists and geologists who work in the shadow of the astronomical observatories that dot the Atacama, drawn by its clear skies.

Remembrance has, of course, also been the main theme of Mr. Guzmán’s own body of work, which has been primarily political. But his best-known film, the three-part, four-and-a-half-hour “Battle of Chile,” has come to be regarded as something more than just the record of a particular historical moment."

Nostalgia for the Light / Trailer - YouTube
"Nostalgia for the Light takes place 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth, the Atacama Desert, where atop the mountains astronomers from all over the world gather to observe the stars. The sky is so translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of the universe. The Atacama is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners, "disappeared" by the Chilean army after the military coup of September, 1973."

Hip Cities That Think About How They Work - NYTimes.com
"The story of young people, full of ambition, energy, skill and talent, moving to enticing cities that call to them like a siren’s song is as old as modern civilization. And in a world where national borders are easier to traverse, where more countries are joining the prosperous global middle class and where the cost of a one-way plane ticket is more affordable, young professionals probably have more cities to choose from than ever before.

This survey is not based solely on quality of life, number of trees or the cost of a month’s rent. Instead, we examine some cities that aim to be both smart and well managed, yet have an undeniably hip vibe. Our pick of cities that are, in a phrase, both great and good:

The Other September 11 - Forbes
"I distinctly recall the Chilean coup of September 11, 1973 very clearly. I was attending a graduate economics course at Harvard that was taught by a protégé of the University of Chicago’s Professor Milton Friedman. One of my fellow students was Sebastian Pinera, a member of one of Chile’s oldest families, a future billionaire owner of Chile’s airline LanChile, & since Dec 2009, President of Chile.

Back then, Sebastian had somehow  gotten word halfway through our class that President Allende had been overthrown. He was  jubilant—“We won!,” he cheered.

Our economics professor apparently shared Sebastian’s delight. Like many other American economists, he viewed Pinochet’s overthrow as a great victory for the neoliberal economic doctrines that had been preached by for decades by leading Chicago economists like Professor Friedman & Arnold Harberger—at that point, still without much acceptance in First World countries. Both later consulted actively for General Pinochet’s junta…"

Intergenerational contracts have become obsolete, with many young people feeling robbed of their future in the light of the employment crisis, a damaged environment and social inequality.

Federico Quilodran: Thousands In Chile Take To Streets, Demand Change | The New Significance
"What began 3 months ago as a series of isolated classroom boycotts by high school & university students demanding education improvements has grown into a mass movement calling for all manner of changes in Chile’s top-down form of government.

Protesters now want increases in education & health care spending, pension & labor code reform, even a new Constitution that would give voters the chance to participate in referendums—a form of direct democracy previously unthinkable in a country only 2 decades removed from a 1973-90 military dictatorship.

Polls taken before the strike said a majority of Chileans side w/ the protesters, though it’s unclear if the violence will affect popular sentiment.

Chile’s much-praised economic model of fiscal austerity & private-sector solutions has failed to deliver enough upward mobility to a new generation whose members see how their country compares to rest of the world, said Bernardo Navarrete, political analyst at the University of Santiago."

Chile's Students Strike for Free and Public Education | The Nation
"In Chile…average monthly minimum wage is $385…average monthly college tuition…$485. Upon graduating, Chilean students are on average saddled w/ $40,000 in debt.

But Chilean students are no longer willing to accept this state of affairs, and have taken over university campuses demanding accessible education for all of the country’s students. The students argue that the country has the resources to provide free public education for all Chileans, if only some of policies of neoliberal privatization begun under dictator Augusto Pinochet are reversed. High school and university students have taken to the streets, refusing to resume classes until the Ministry of Education approves the system of systematic changes that the Students Federation is demanding. Despite their radicalized movement, and a dangerous hunger strike by more than thirty students, President Sebastián Piñera has refused to meet their demands, saying that “nothing is free in this life.”

A través de entrevistas y vagabundeos callejeros, Enríquez va exponiendo su tesis: el desgaste de los viejos estandartes, el recambio cruel de una ideología por otra. Amargo, pero a la vez muy divertido -Enríquez no tiene pudor en reírse, por ejemplo, de esas circulares e inútiles discusiones políticas de sobremesa- este documental es un vaso de refrescante agua fría entre tanto megafilme pomposo.

Why is Piñera's government so unpopular in Chile? | Cristian Cabalin | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
"Chile is today a more complex country than it was two decades ago, but the current political system does not recognise this. Piñera is member of a stubborn elite that continues to control the country as it always has, without recognising that Chileans now live in a completely different context. He believes that Chileans have the same needs that they had during their return to democracy: political stability and public security. However, most citizens want to build a more equal society, with the same opportunities for all.<br />
Recent demonstrations and protests have overshadowed his administration. Citizens are going to the streets to demand better education, gay marriage, and the protection of the environment. They're asking for changes in one of the most unequal societies in the world. After 21 years of democratisation, citizens have lost their fear and are in the streets…"

The zombie image links to the education system, since they view it as dying and rotten. Here's a zombie/thriller demonstration link:"<br />

Chile Behind Uruguay Converge on Brazil for World-Best Expanding Retailers - Bloomberg
"With a population of almost 16.9 million, Chile has become one of the region’s promising retail markets, driven by government incentives to stimulate consumption, increased middle-class disposable income and an urban population, according to the A.T. Kearney report. Retailing in Chile, which places consistently among the index’s Top 10, is projected to grow 10 percent in 2011, the authors said…

At the same time, Chilean retail sales have slowed. After averaging 16.4 percent annual growth in the first quarter, they fell to an average 8.6 percent in April and May and sales are projected to rise to 10 percent in June, according to the median forecast of nine economists surveyed by Bloomberg."

My choice to use the body as a starting point aims to give visual form to physical sensations that are invisible to the eye and medical imaging, and only exist in the subjecetive realm. I collect data through daily documentation processes, and then generate numerous systems to allow the information to exist in a material form. I abstract and quantify the data in order to give authority and agency to subjective experiences.<br />
<br />
The work alludes to the body in certain pieces, through the text or a particular material, but the reference remains abstracted…"<br />

Subtel enforces net neutrality
"Chile’s regulator, Sub-Secretaria de Telecomunicaciones (Subtel) has had a set of amendments to the General Telecommunications Law passed by Congress. The amendment states that internet service providers (ISPs) must not interfere with access to content, applications or services except for protective purposes, such as virus protection. The law prevents ISPs from abusing their control over last mile infrastructure by blocking access to certain content. It also stipulates that ISPs must provide parental controls and be more transparent regarding contracts, and make clear the average and maximum speeds available.<br />
According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database, at the end of March 2011 Chile had 1.9 million broadband subscribers, and its household penetration of 39.8% is high for the region."

Educación en deuda | Blog - Paula
"Crecimos escuchando que si estudiábamos más, tendríamos asegurado un mejor futuro: más ingresos, más prestigias, más satisfacción. Y nunca antes en la historia tantos chilenos habían alcanzado los niveles educacionales de hoy. Pero los jóvenes que constituyen la primera generación de sus familias en la Educación Superior se enfrentan, con frecuencia, a una realidad amargamente decepcionante: su título no les asegura un alto nivel de ingresos y la deuda que han contraído para pagar sus estudios contrapesa cualquier margen de movilidad social como lo haría una roca amarrada a los pies de un hombre tratando infructuosamente de nadar. Este es un reportaje para entender el descontento."

¿Por qué Chile necesita a Valparaíso? | Plataforma Urbana
"La primera reacción de aquellos más cercanos a las esferas de poder de la capital será, probablemente, que si hacemos una ley especial para Valparaíso otras ciudades también lo exigirán. Es posible que eso suceda, ya que nuestro país tiene diferentes realidades y necesidades que el Estado central no siempre es capaz de asimilar, dado el excesivo nivel de concentración de poder político y económico. Lo que es seguro es que la estructura de financiamiento municipal actual sólo funciona bien para las cinco comunas más ricas del país, todas ellas en Santiago. Valparaíso es paradigmático en este sentido, su nombre es conocido en todos los rincones del mundo sin embargo no tiene posibilidades de construir su propio destino, ¿Por qué no abordar ya el desafío de volver a posicionar la ciudad en el lugar que se merece?, le haría bien a Chile."

David Foster Wallace and “Robinson Crusoe” : The New Yorker [Update: Most of it here: http://liberatormagazine.com/community/showthread.php?tid=1223 ]
"REFLECTIONS about “Robinson Crusoe,” the remote island of Masafuera, and the death of David Foster Wallace. In the South Pacific, five hundred miles off the coast of central Chile, is a forbiddingly vertical volcanic island, seven miles long and four miles wide, that is populated by millions of seabirds and thousands of fur seals but is devoid of people, except in the warmer months, when a handful of fishermen come out to catch lobsters. In the nineteen-sixties, Chilean tourism officials renamed the island for Alexander Selkirk, the Scottish adventurer whose tale of solitary living in the archipelago was probably the basis for Daniel Defoe’s novel “Robinson Crusoe,” but the locals still use its original name, Masafuera: Farther Away."<br />

Southern Cone Travel: In Honor of Gabriela; Chile Criminalizes Cycling?
"One of the most preposterous proposals I’ve ever heard has just come out of the Chilean Congress: a law to ban bicycles except on designated bicycle lanes. The details aren’t yet clear but, on the face of it, it would appear to criminalize non-motorized two-wheel transportation even on roads like Aisén’s Carretera Austral, which has very little traffic on any kind. Bicycle touring might become illegal, even through the scenic southern lakes region, and companies such as Santiago’s La Bicicleta Verde, which offers bicycle tours of the city, would have to close down unless, of course, authorities create sufficient bicycle lanes to accommodate the capital’s roughly 600,000 active cyclists. At present, there are 250 km of bike paths for a city of six million residents…"

In Arming Libyan Rebels, U.S. Would Follow an Old, Dark Path - Max Fisher - International - The Atlantic
"The U.S. has a long, complicated, and dark history of arming rebel groups around the world…Argentina and Honduras…Chile…Nicaragua…Khmer Rouge…<br />
…cycle is a familiar one: rather than commit American lives to a murky & uncertain conflict, White House asks CIA to find or create local proxies that can do the fighting for us. We invariably find the most skilled fighters, most ruthless killers, who can best challenge or outright topple whatever regime—often communist, usually despotic & deserving of ouster—has earned American ire. But the conflict often escalates & turns for worse…<br />
<br />
Violence begets violence, instability begets instability, and the U.S. tactic of arming rebels has been incredibly successful at fomenting both, but has done little to end either, often creating problems far outsizing those we originally meant to solve.<br />
<br />
Neither the French nor the British share this sordid history with the U.S."

Chilean Economist Manfred Max-Neef: US Is Becoming an "Underdeveloping Nation"
"principles of an economics which should be are based in 5 postulates & 1 fundamental value principle…economy is to serve the people & not the people to serve the economy…development is about people & not objects…growth is not the same as development, & development does not necessarily require growth…no economy is possible in the absence of ecosystem services.…the economy is a subsystem of a larger finite system, the biosphere, hence permanent growth is impossible. & the fundamental value to sustain a new economy should be that no economic interest, under no circumstance, can be above the reverence of life.<br />
<br />
…If you go through that list, one after the other, what we have today is exactly the opposite.<br />
<br />
Growth is a quantitative accumulation. Development is the liberation of creative possibilities. Every living system in nature grows up to a certain point & stops growing. You are not growing anymore, nor he nor me. But we continue developing ourselves."

US: Most Inefficient Healthcare System In The World
"If you look at the US fiscal situation, it's easy to see that Medicare is a looming black hole ready to swallow the entire economy. Reforming the entitlement seems necessary to prevent fiscal ruin.<br />
<br />
But actually that's too narrow a way of looking at things. After all, the costs borne by Medicare are no more sustainable if they're shifted to private individuals. It's just the path is different.<br />
<br />
The REAL problem is how expensive our healthcare system is compared to its benefits, at least relative to other countries.<br />
<br />
This chart is from SocGen's Albert Edwards. As you can see, the US has the same life-expectancy of Chile at 7 times the cost.<br />
<br />
Now, the root causes of this can be debated ad nauseum. We need to reform what we pay for. We need to lose weight. We need to end the doctor cartel, on and on you can go. But if you're looking for a problem THIS is it.<br />
Solve it, and the Medicare crisis goes away."<br />

geologic city – mammoth // building nothing out of something
"The salt travels here via International Salt, the City’s supplier, from the Tarapacá Salt Flats in Chile, vast deposits inside ancient sea beds that now lie in the driest desert in the world (50 times drier than Death Valley). Despite having materialized 8-10 million years ago during the Miocene epoch, the tons of solidified geologic time piled beneath the bridge will dissolve away in a matter of weeks as they are spread atop hundreds of miles of wintry city streets. Before washing away with spring rains, this thin coating of ancient salt will first encrust nearly every exterior surface of the city — roads, sidewalks, bikes, cars, and shoes — with traces of deep time."

Urinating on Jorge Luis Borges's grave was an artistic act, says Chilean writer | Books | The Guardian
"Book cover depicting Eduardo Labarca apparently urinating on author's grave provokes outrage in Argentina"<br />

"Labarca told Argentina's perfil.com that Borges's talent as a writer had not been matched by his behaviour outside literature.<br />
<br />
"Anyone who is offended by this is very short-sighted," he said. "Borges was a giant as a writer but I feel complete contempt for him as a citizen. As an old man, almost blind, he came to meet the dictator Pinochet in the days when he was busy killing."<br />
<br />
Borges was delighted with Pinochet. "He is an excellent person," he said afterwards. "The fact is that here, and in my country and in Uruguay, liberty and order are being saved.""

La serie, protagonizada por Daniel Muñoz y Tamara Acosta, narra la historia de la familia Herrera, una familia de clase media que vive en Santiago de Chile. La trama se sitúa entre los años 1982 y 1984, en pleno régimen militar, y gira en torno a los diversos eventos históricos de los años 80, principalmente la gran crisis económica de ese año.<br />
Dentro de sus principales méritos está la representación de la época, apelando a la nostalgia de los televidentes. La participación de la selección chilena en la copa mundial de fútbol de 1982 es recordada, al igual que las grandes inundaciones que provocaron el desborde del río Mapocho. Lugares, objetos, alimentos, vestimentas, diálogos y hasta automóviles han sido recreados para ambientar la historia, mezclada con videos históricos…"

"Vengo del supermercado LIDER (retailer chileno) y los universitarios que empaquetan las mercancías me dicen que deben pagar por ese trabajo. Así es. Ni más ni menos. Son CH$500 (casi un dólar) por cada turno de tres horas, una camisa por CH$5.000 (cerca de US$10) y el polerón de invierno que vale CH$10.000 (cerca de US$20). <br />
<br />
El pago lo recibe Universitarios Everest, empresa externa subcontratada por los ejecutivos del supermercado LIDER, que se lava las manos frente a esta obscenidad. A cambio de esos pagos, los jóvenes empacadores reciben la caridad de los clientes, vale decir la propina voluntaria.<br />
<br />
No conozco en el mundo otro país en que se pague por trabajar. Este es el extremo de la denominada flexibilidad laboral. Como no se ha podido eliminar el salario mínimo, ideal del neoliberalismo, el sistema ha encontrado subterfugios; en este caso, se aprovecha de la necesidad y fragilidad de los jóvenes pobres para minimizar el costo del trabajo."

CIPER Chile » Reforma a la Educación: Las dudas que rondan a los nuevos planes de estudio anunciados por el gobierno
"De manera sorpresiva, anticipándose incluso al acto con que el gobierno dio a conocer los alcances de lo que ha llamado la Gran Reforma a la Educación, hace dos semanas el ministro Joaquín Lavín comunicó que el ciclo escolar sumaría 800 horas de matemáticas y lenguaje en desmedro de las ciencias sociales y la educación tecnológica. Una medida resistida y polémica, no sólo por las consecuencias de restar horas a materias relacionadas con la memoria histórica y la capacidad crítica de los alumnos: considerando la competencia de la media de los profesores de educación básica, algunos expertos consideran que sumar horas de clases no garantiza ningún éxito. Los cambios al plan presentan un desafío adicional: encontrar la suficiente cantidad de profesores de matemáticas. La respuesta oficial del ministerio es que pueden recurrir a otros profesionales con licenciatura para suplir el déficit en esta área, aunque en la cartera también aseguran que habría disponibilidad de docentes."

Chile’s Grand Innovation Experiment
"All government-sponsored tech-cluster efforts either have failed or are on life support. That’s because they all used the wrong ingredients. It isn’t real estate, universities, or VCs that make innovation happen; it is entrepreneurs. To create a tech center like SV, you need to first attract smart entrepreneurs…Then you have to create entrepreneurial networks; instill a spirit of risk-taking & openness; & build mentoring systems. You also need to provide seed financing to startups. The money is easy; everything else requires a change in culture that usually takes decades.<br />
<br />
But Chile is trying a radical new experiment that I helped conceive, to short-circuit this process. It is importing entrepreneurs from all over the world, by offering them $40,000 to bootstrap in Chile. They get a visa; free office space; assistance w/ networking, mentoring, fundraising, & connecting to potential customers and partners. All the entrepreneurs have to do, in return, is commit to working hard…"
