The San Francisco's Church in Chiloe


This image is the San Francisco's Church. This Church is in Castro, Chiloe. I don`t know who took this picture, nor know the date it was taken, because I found in the Internet, and there are many images with this church. I have photography in the San Francisco’s Church. This photo was taken by a friend in the holiday at 2009. In that summer, I knew the south of Chile to the Big Isla of Chiloé, even though I do not have much money.

In the photo we can see the grand work of arquitecture that is this church. This church was made only wood. Also, who built it no used any nails in the construction of the Church! This is very interesting because show a different form that build. The wood was joined with dowels. This shows very very work in the build of the Church, although for those years there wasn´t the technology of today.

I like this photo because I remember my vacations in Chiloe. I saw this church in the night, and is very beautiful in the summer night, because it have a magic atmosphere than is surrounding the principal's place of the city.

The photo reflects the dedication with which was built this church. The San Francisco’s Church together with the other churches of the island are unique in the world. Possibly, this was a reason by which all church of Chiloé are considered Humanity`s Patrimony. Is for this motive that is very important and necessary protect the monument, for this image not only a memory, and many people can enjoy every year. This is because is necessary protect the monument, for this image, not only a memory, and many people can enjoy every year. Although this church not only is a principal tourist attraction of Castro, but also the San Francisco´s Church represents part of the traditions and culture from Chiloe.

My seminary


The topic that I work in my seminary of grade is the relationship between the syndicate and the Political Parties in Chile. I think that this topic is a very important for the Sociology of Work, but has been shelved in the research about the syndicalism.


The relationship between the syndicate and the Political Parties can be studied from different perspectives. In my seminary the perspective of study revolves around the concept of identity. The concept of “Identity” is very complexity, because there are many definitions about the identity. In my seminary, the concept elected is similar to the Jorge Larraín, because he defines the identity that a process in which the people that recognizes itself around three axes: What I am? ; Do I have? And who are my similar?


Using these three questions, I research the identity of the workers, and I shall investigate what is their relationship from a subjective point of view, and I can study the phenomenon from a objective point of view, investigating the specific practices that have the workers witch the Political Parties, as the militancy, the program policy, the patronage, or the electoral support.
Well, I want work this idea, because I considerer that the study about the social movements that the syndicalism can contribute to understand the political action of the people in particular, and overcoat the Political Parties in Chile have been recently separated of the civil society, this is demonstrated in the low support the some movements which the traditional political parties and the creation of new organizations representing of the social demands.
