  • Che Guevara, Nostalgia, Photography, Felt History and Narrative Discourse in Ana Menéndez’S Loving Che Robert L
    Hipertexto 11 Invierno 2010 pp. 103-116 Che Guevara, Nostalgia, Photography, Felt History and Narrative Discourse in Ana Menéndez’s Loving Che Robert L. Sims Virginia Commonwealth University Hipertexto At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. Che Guevara More and more I've come to understand that when we mourn what a place used to be, we are also mourning what we used to be. Ana Menéndez any of the discussions and debates of the Cuban Revolution in Miami, M Havana and elsewhere converge, merge and diverge in the person and persona of Che Guevara. This process produces a mesmerizing mixture of myth, reality, and nonsense which we are far from unscrambling: “There's just this fascination people have with the man - which is not of the man, but of the photograph," says Ana Menéndez, author of ‘Loving Che’” (http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0305/p13s02-algn.html). The photograph in question is Alberto Korda’s famous picture of Che Guevara taken on March 5, 1960 at a Cuban funeral service for victims of the La Coubre explosion. The photographic reality of Che soon transformed itself into an iconic image which traveled around the world. Che’s image has since undergone myriad changes and has become a pop culture, fashionista icon and capitalist commodity marketed and sold all over the world, including Cuba. Nostalgia and memory occupy the interstitial space between Che Guevara’s personal and revolutionary life and his now simulacralized iconicity: “Part of Guevara's appeal is that his revolutionary ideals no longer pose much of a threat in the post-cold-war world.

    PRESS RELEASE | NEW YORK | 2 5 OCTOBER 2016 WIFREDO LAM (1902-1982) MARIANO RODRÍGUEZ (1912-1990) Sur les traces (Transformation), Painted in 1945. Pelea de gallos, Painted in 1942. Estimate: $2,500,000-3,500,000 Estimate: $800,000-1,200,000 SINGLE-OWNER COLLECTION OF CUBAN ART INCLUDED IN THE LATIN AMERICAN ART SALE | NOVEMBER 22-23, 2016 MIAMI PREVIEW | OCTOBER 29-30, 2016 New York—Christie’s announces an unprecedented single-owner collection of modern and contemporary Cuban art, CUBA MODERNA: Masterworks from a Private Collection, featured in the Latin American Art sale, November 22-23 in New York, with a public preview of highlights in Miami from October 29-30. The Miami preview is held in collaboration with Christie’s International Real Estate and EWM Realty International. Carefully assembled over the past three decades, this extensive collection of nearly forty works spans from the historical vanguardia—with works by Victor Manuel, Eduardo Abela, Amelia Peláez, Fidelio Ponce de León, Carlos Enríquez, Marcelo Pogolotti—through modern masters of the Havana school—Cundo Bermúdez, René Portocarrero, Mario Carreño, and Mariano Rodríguez—artists that experimented in abstraction and Surrealism—Wifredo Lam, Agustín Fernández, Servando Cabrera Moreno, and José María Mijares—as well as a handful of contemporary painters who made waves in the 1980s and 1990s, once again drawing Cuban art into the international spotlight. CUBA MODERNA is led by Wifredo Lam’s Sur les traces (Transformation), (estimate: $2,500,000-3,500,000). Painted in 1945, after Lam’s return to Havana during the Second World War, this large-scale painting exemplifies the impact of Surrealism coupled with the influence of Afro-Cuban culture, in which stippled, black brushwork insinuates myriad bodies— suggestively hybridized and otherworldly—silhouetted against a shadowy landscape.

  • TRANSNATIONAL LANDSCAPES and the CUBAN DIASPORA By
    TRANSNATIONAL LANDSCAPES AND THE CUBAN DIASPORA by JENNA ELIZABETH ANDREWS-SWANN (Under the Direction of Virginia D. Nazarea) ABSTRACT This study explores the multiple meanings of landscape and the creation of place within the Cuban Diaspora. Landscape encompasses not only the external physical environment or a particular geographical space, but the concept also represents collections of personal experiences with, and memories linked to, various pieces of the physical environment. Diaspora is an association that is not restricted to a geographical place but formed by cultural nationalism shared by members of a transnational community. The research sites in this study are Moultrie, Georgia, and Miami, Florida. These sites were selected to represent some of the diversity (e.g. rural/urban, established/newly arrived) inherent in the Cuban Diaspora. In light of current scholarship on these themes and the issues facing members of the Cuban Diaspora today, the principal questions addressed in this study are: How are landscapes (re)created and given meaning at locations in the Cuban Diaspora? and How does the context of migration or exile affect the (re)creation of landscapes? To address the research questions, an integrated set of mixed ethnographic methods comprised of participant observation, interviews, life history collection, cognitive mapping, and archival research was used. Results show that the manner in which members of the Cuban Diaspora in the United States left Cuba indeed impacts their relationship with the island and how they experience Cubanidad , or Cubanness. Based on the data collected, many members of the Diaspora who were jailed or otherwise persecuted in Cuba tend to shy away from addressing volatile issues, such as Cuban politics or religion, and choose instead to (re)create a private sense of Cubanidad.

  • Art in a Changing Cuba Natania Remba Despite the Lack of a National Art Market in Cuba, Artistic Talent Is Flourishing
    CHAPTER 19 Art in a Changing Cuba Natania Remba Despite the lack of a national art market in Cuba, artistic talent is flourishing. This paper addresses questions that will be explored in a forthcoming exhibi- tion on contemporary Cuban art at the Boston University Art Gallery. The exhibition and accompanying catalogue will include viewpoints gleaned from 2005 interviews with several renowned Cuban artists, art historians from Havana University, art administrators from Casa de Las Américas, and writers from two major art journals, Artecubano and Revolución y Cultura. Although the exhibition will include a broad view on Cuban art, this article focuses primarily on current issues relating to Cuban art production and the art market. The first topic of discussion touches upon the applicability of a transition paradigm to the Cuban art world. The concept—as applied to the economy, society, and culture of Cuba—has been widely debated and has even been rejected by some in the artistic community. For many Cubans, the very notion of the contemporary art scene being “transitional” is an outsider’s construct. Foreigners often discuss “the transition” as if it is eminent, but because of the dynamic nature of Cuba’s art and culture, the applicability of a static transi- tion paradigm is questionable and ultimately unproductive. Clearly, periods of artistic change in Cuba are not clear cut, but rather, are complex processes of ongoing opposition between preservation and transformation of culture and identity. It would be more suitable to forecast the future of the art world, not as fixed, but in flux, or as a complex process of dialectical dichotomies that embody the inherent social contradictions of continuity and change.

  • Introduction Cuba, a Moveable Nation
    Introduction Cuba, a Moveable Nation Jorge Duany Since the late eighteenth century, prominent Cuban intellectuals have portrayed their country as a fatherland (patria) or nation with a distinc- tive character. Indeed, patriotism—as a sense of emotional attachment and devotion to the island, its people and its culture—emerged well be- fore the establishment of an independent Cuban nation in 1902. One of the recurring themes in Cuban thought has been interpreting the island’s cultural identity out of a troubled colonial and slave past, characterized by mass immigration of Spanish, African, and other peoples, as well as the more recent exodus to the United States and other countries. As the Cuban-American literary and art critic Andrea O’Reilly Herrera writes, “Just as Cuba and its people have absorbed and been transformed by di- verse presences and cultural elements, it has also become a moveable na- tion, a traveling, prismatic site of rupture and continuity resulting from continuous out-migrations and scatterings.”1 Several generations of Cuban writers and artists on the island and abroad have drawn the contours of their “moveable nation,” according to different historical junctures, geographic locations, and ideological perspectives. Expressions of Cuban patriotism became stronger during the early 1800s, both in Cuba and in its incipient diaspora in the United States. An iconic moment was the publication of José María Heredia’s ro- mantic ode, “Niagara” (1825), in which the exiled poet contemplates the 2 · Jorge Duany beauty of the falls while reminiscing about “the delicious palms” on the plains of his “ardent fatherland.” Throughout the nineteenth century, the island’s native elite articulated a growing sense of “Cubanness” (cubanía), as opposed to an identification with peninsular Spain.

  • Visualizing Cuba UGS 302 First-Year Seminar
    1 Visualizing Cuba UGS 302 First-Year Seminar TTh 12:30-2 PM Prof. César A. Salgado BEN 1.122 [email protected] Unique Number 64905 Office Hrs: M 4-5, T 2-4 & by appnt. Difficult Dialogues/Global Cultures Flag BEN 3.140/CAL 217 (232-4517/471-1925) Description: The only communist country in the Western Hemisphere, Cuba exerts a great fascination among North Americans and the world in general. Because of the 52-year economic embargo and the political animosity of exile groups and Castro opponents, the images of Cuba available abroad tend to be overly polarized and stereotypical, painted either in bright technicolor or in dark grey. Cuban is thus mostly seen as a tropical paradise, a tyrannical dictatorship, a racially integrated island, a landscape of ruins, a socialist utopia, or a Caribbean gulag. This course is meant to have you see Cuba, its history and affairs not as foreign pundits see it, but as Cuban and other artists have seen it through painting, art installations, photography, film, documentaries, urban design, monumental architecture, performance and fiction throughout its 54 years of Revolution and before. Although it will focus on artists and intellectuals in the island, it will also consider how much Cuban figures in exile contribute to this complex imagining. Debates about dissident vs. state-sponsored art, commitment vs. contestation, avant-garde abstraction vs. social realism, censorship vs. 'rectification', race, gender, and sexuality will be reviewed. Our focus will be on how writers, filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists in Cuba and its diaspora respond, contribute, or object to the power of cultural and political icons before, during, and after the Cold War.
