Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ana Belén Martín se ocupa aquí de una determinada generación de autores cubanos, la que comenzó a publicar o exponer entre mediados de los 80 y mediados de los 90, precisamente los años en que esa generación sintió que era posible cambiar cosas en Cuba y se propuso reaccionar en ese sentido. En particular su estudio aborda las resonancias que hayan tenido las obras de entonces para la conformación de una suerte de incipiente sociedad civil, algo que se ha sugerido o esbozado o dado por sentado muchas veces con relación a ese grupo generacional, pero sobre lo cual no existía, hasta ahora, un análisis en detalle. Las expectativas de entonces terminaron en desilusión; la autora, en un análisis que no por comprometido deja de ser lúcido, centra su atención en la relación que entre la literatura y la plástica se produjo entonces en la isla, y en el recorrido que va de la voluntad participativa inicial al desencanto y la disolución de aquel discurso generacional que pudo, en su día, acercar como partes de un conjunto a obras en ocasiones muy alejadas entre sí. Es en este sentido que el libro apunta a la repercusión de esa eclosión de autores y obras en el diálogo público en Cuba, sobre todo en los 90, una etapa (y una perspectiva) sobre la que tampoco se ha escrito mucho, y en cualquier caso, nunca estableciendo explícitamente ese vínculo entre literatura y plástica como facetas de un mismo movimiento estético (que es lo que propone Ana Belén Martín). Y lo hace sin perder nunca de vista, y quizá ahí resida uno de sus mayores atractivos, las maneras en que textos y obras asumen su propia entidad frente a la circunstancia en la que fueron creados.
Download or read book In your face papi written by Mabel Cuesta and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La antropología poética se ha definido siempre por un fuerte carácter testimonial. En In your face, papi!, esa sinceridad extrema y a bocajarro de la primera persona, que concede un grado de autenticidad, de desgarro interior de lo vivido, provoca una catarsis en el lector, a quien no le importa que le digan a qué generación pertenece, sino sencillamente identificarse y revivir lo cubano a través de la experiencia de otro ser como él. Dicho de otra manera, a este libro, para ser más cubano, sentir y explicar la cubanía, solo le falta la gestualidad, porque lo tiene todo: la alegría y la tristeza, el amor y el sufrimiento; el dolor, el miedo, la culpa y el remordimiento; la esperanza, la cordura y la locura, la gracia y hasta el acento. Este libro es una colección de comentarios y artículos sobre política, arte y sociedad civil publicados por la autora durante sus últimos quince años vividos fuera de Cuba.
Download or read book Minima Cuba written by Marta Hernández Salván and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2016 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Mínima Cuba analyzes the reconfiguration of aesthetics and power during the Cuban postrevolutionary transition (1989 to 2005, the conclusion of the "Special Period"). It explores the marginal cultural production on the island by the first generation of intellectuals born during the Revolution. The author studies the work of postrevolutionary poets and essayists Antonio José Ponte, Rolando Sánchez Mejías, and Iván de la Nuez, among others. In their writing we find the exhaustion of the allegorical and melancholic rhetoric of the Cuban Revolution, and the poetics of irony developed in the current biopolitical era. The book will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary literary and cultural studies, poetics, and film studies in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Download or read book Paths for Cuba written by Scott Morgenstern and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-02-02 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cuban model of communism has been an inspiration—from both a positive and negative perspective—for social movements, political leaders, and cultural expressionists around the world. With changes in leadership, the pace of change has accelerated following decades of economic struggles. The death of Fidel Castro and the reduced role of Raúl Castro seem likely to create further changes, though what these changes look like is still unknown. For now, Cuba is opening in important ways. Cubans can establish businesses, travel abroad, access the internet, and make private purchases. Paths for Cuba examines Cuba’s internal reforms and external influences within a comparative framework. The collection includes an interdisciplinary group of scholars from around the world to explore reforms away from communism.

Download or read book Cuban Underground Hip Hop written by Tanya L. Saunders and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, Barbara T. Christian Literary Award, Caribbean Studies Association, 2017 In the wake of the 1959 Cuban Revolution, a key state ideology developed: racism was a systemic cultural issue that ceased to exist after the Revolution, and any racism that did persist was a result of contained cases of individual prejudice perpetuated by US influence. Even after the state officially pronounced the end of racism within its borders, social inequalities tied to racism, sexism, and homophobia endured, and, during the economic liberalization of the 1990s, widespread economic disparities began to reemerge. Cuban Underground Hip Hop focuses on a group of self-described antiracist, revolutionary youth who initiated a social movement (1996–2006) to educate and fight against these inequalities through the use of arts-based political activism intended to spur debate and enact social change. Their “revolution” was manifest in altering individual and collective consciousness by critiquing nearly all aspects of social and economic life tied to colonial legacies. Using over a decade of research and interviews with those directly involved, Tanya L. Saunders traces the history of the movement from its inception and the national and international debates that it spawned to the exodus of these activists/artists from Cuba and the creative vacuum they left behind. Shedding light on identity politics, race, sexuality, and gender in Cuba and the Americas, Cuban Underground Hip Hop is a valuable case study of a social movement that is a part of Cuba’s longer historical process of decolonization.
Download or read book El Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes en la pol tica cultural del Estado cubano 1940 1961 written by Hilda María Alonso González and published by RUTH. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el texto se realiza un breve pero necesario recorrido por el camino del Museo como institución en Cuba desde la época colonial, demuestra cómo su nacimiento apuntaba hacia una tradición occidental que tuvo uno de sus máximos exponentes en la creación del Museo de Bellas Artes. Se expone cómo en un período de veintiún años, este museo fue motivo de las diferentes políticas culturales de la nación cubana y los avatares para que subsistiera como entidad cultural desde su fundación, pero esencialmente entre 1940 y 1961;en él se entrelazan: arte, estrategias, sociedad civil, tradición, patrimonio y política cultural durante ese período. La autora destruye los prejuicios y reduccionismos de muchos que parcelan la historia a través de los sucesos políticos, las creaciones artísticas y literarias, excluyendo la labor patrimonial, sin penetraciones hacia los pluralismos generados por las sociedades históricas. Interesante propuesta que enriquecerá el conocimiento sobre una institución emblemática de nuestro patrimonio cultural, no solo de los habaneros, sino de todos los cubanos y extranjeros que han visitado o deseen visitar ese lugar.
Download or read book No Tea No Shade written by E. Patrick Johnson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The follow-up to the groundbreaking Black Queer Studies, the edited collection No Tea, No Shade brings together nineteen essays from the next generation of scholars, activists, and community leaders doing work on black gender and sexuality. Building on the foundations laid by the earlier volume, this collection's contributors speak new truths about the black queer experience while exemplifying the codification of black queer studies as a rigorous and important field of study. Topics include "raw" sex, pornography, the carceral state, gentrification, gender nonconformity, social media, the relationship between black feminist studies and black trans studies, the black queer experience throughout the black diaspora, and queer music, film, dance, and theater. The contributors both disprove naysayers who believed black queer studies to be a passing trend and respond to critiques of the field's early U.S. bias. Deferring to the past while pointing to the future, No Tea, No Shade pushes black queer studies in new and exciting directions. Contributors. Jafari S. Allen, Marlon M.

Download or read book Subverting Sex Gender and Genre in Cuban and Mexican Detective Fiction written by Ailsa Peate and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-25 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of bodies and sex in detective fiction has been a long-term feature of this internationally popular genre. Titillation is at the centre of narratives reliant upon discovery and revelation: motives and criminals are slowly revealed, along with sexualized and violated bodies – from femmes fatales to the corpses of victims. A satisfying, gratifying genre for its readership, the detective novel promises the disruption and subsequent restoration of order in societies tarnished by disillusionment which hope for a better future. This book takes as its focus examples of detective fiction from Cuba and Mexico during or in the aftermath of huge social upheaval (the Special Period and the War on Drugs), analyzing representations of sexualities, bodies, and the genre itself. Through an investigation of novels by Leonardo Padura and Amir Valle of Cuba, and Bef and Rogelio Guedea of Mexico, this work investigates increasingly fluid sexualities and bodies in challenging examples of metaphysical detective fiction, a particularly anxious subgenre which challenges both the structures and limits of the detective novel and the reader’s understanding of true and false and right and wrong, representative of troubling periods of severe social disruption for Cuba and Mexico.
