My favorite subject this term

My favourite subject, in this term, was Analysis of Fixed Images, taught by Rafael del Villar. I like it, because this subject speaks about the behaviour of communication media; about microcultures, like videogames, anime, comic, and such; about how society imposes you ways to behave, and how can you confront that pressure, through your inner world. Also, it speaks about how music videos are made, the theory of pulses, and the correlation between pulses, images and sound.

I've learnt, in this term, how do different communication media, or supports, correlate themselves. For example, when you are consuming a cultural product, you are doing a lot of things at the same time: you are browsing the Internet, you are listening music, and that wasn't so before. Technologies change perceptions. I've also learnt that, in the eastern culture, there's no notion of subject, because there is an equilibrium between imaginary and symbols. In our western, Catholic culture, however, there is a notion of the subject, a subject who must seek his own development through serving others.
