Psychoanalysis




I’m going to talk about a  transcript conference by Sigmund Freud pronounced  in 1909. It's called in Spanish"Cinco conferencias sobre psicoanálisis". The text contains five days of expositions about the genesis  and principals thoughts of psychoanalysis. I'll be focus on the second day of the conferences. I'll try to explain concepts like subconscious and  repression by one example that Freud gives. 


I like psychology, in fact it was my first carrier in Usach, but I only stay for a few months. I choose this text because are interesting  the theories of the human that explains the mind and the unknown of our behavior,  and also I need to read it for my class. I' like Freud because is a genius, he create an explanation for the strange and bizarre symptoms of diseases that can not be understood by traditional medicine. He used the scientific method to understand  process that we can't see, and we can't touch. 


 I`m thinking in start given a short biography of the author, and next I'll explain the concrete topic of his speech. The second part will be structure by the concepts before mentioned and the relation between them.

The Days of Perky Pat.



I’d like to talk about a book that I read the last year. It’s a sci-fi novel, wrote by Philip K. Dick. I really love this story because it has an amazing plot, strangers characters and interesting concepts. 

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch talks about religion, drugs, altered states of conscience, future societies and  more. The argument it's complex and it will be boring if I tell the whole story, so I'm going to describe mi favorite character and it's of course, Palmer Eldritch.



This guy is frightening, he has bionic eyes, metal teeth and one robotic hand. He's a millionaire and a businessman who travels across the galaxy searching commercial products. When he comes back after ten years, he's not the same. With a genius plan he pretends to take control of the minds of all the population. The new drug called Chew-Z is brutal, Palmer Eldritch incarnate in all person who try it. 


 The Days of Perky Pat it's a short story about the same concept of the main novel. I don'r read it yet, cause I'm reading the first volume of shorts stories. This story it's on volume four, so I don't want to go faster than my feet.
