    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.

  • Guerrillero Heroico. Ernesto Che Guevara at the Funeral for Victims of the La Coubre Explosion, 1960
    Guerrillero Heroico. Ernesto Che Guevara at the funeral for victims of the La Coubre explosion, 1960. Photographer: Alberto Diaz Gutierrez (Alberto Korda). Public domain / Museo Che Guevara (Centro de Estudios Che Guevara en La Habana, Cuba). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerrillero_ Heroico#/media/File:Heroico1.jpg 5. The Soundtrack of Revolution: Memory, Affect, and the Power of Protest Songs Overture We have all been there: Suddenly a melody comes into our heads without our knowing how it got there. On a recent trip to Cuba I heard the refrain of a long forgotten song: “Aquí se queda la clara / la entrañable transparencia / de tu querida presencia / Comandante Che Guevara” (Your beloved and luminous presence / became clear here / Comandante Che Guevara). With tears in my eyes I tried to ex- plain to my partner that they were playing the song. “Which song?” she asked, but I was already heading for the bandstand, drawn by the music of Hasta Siempre (Forever), the popular song about Ernesto Guevara, better known to the world as Che or “Comandante.” It was my emotional and melodramatic soundtrack talking back to me. Many cultural representations in the form of songs, photographs, literature, theatre, film, television, and other media are so deeply ideologically engraved in our hearts that they are often difficult to define or analyze. Whether we like it or not, emo- tions are embedded as a cultural and social soundtrack of memo- ries. Feminist scholarship over the past decade has emphasized that affects and emotions are the foundation of human interac- tion. The cognitive understanding of the world has given way to a gender analysis in which questions about the relationship between “our” and the “other’s” feelings and how we relate to the world as human beings are central.1 The world is an affective place and life supplies us with melodies to accompany us on our journey.

    Cómo referenciar este artículo / How to reference this article Bruno-Jofré, R. (2019). The «Long 1960s» in a Global Arena of Contention: Re-defining Assumptions of Self, Morality, Race, Gender and Justice, and Questioning Education. Espacio, Tiempo y Educación, 6(1), pp. 5-27. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14516/ete.256 The «Long 1960s» in a Global Arena of Contention: Re-defining Assumptions of Self, Morality, Race, Gender and Justice, and Questioning Education Rosa Bruno-Jofré e-mail: [email protected] Queen´s University. Canada Abstract: I argue that the global dissent of the 1960s is part of a political cultural constellation with many fronts, political conjonctures1 and religious intersections, in addition to a new sense of being that informed subjectivities and desires. The configurational components examined in this article include secularization, Vatican II, and the emergence of liberation theology in Latin America, as well as the New Left, the Cuban Revolution and the context of the Cold War; the legacy of the civil rights movement and its impact; second wave feminism and a new understanding of gender relations; art as a vehicle for ideas and agendas; the global dissension conveyed in the students’ insurrection and repercussions; and education as a tool for change. The article identifies relevant connections between the events and processes that challenged the social and political order across space, and explores the emergence of a contesting ethical framework. Keywords: «Long 1960s»; Secularization; Liberation Theology; New Left; Civil Rights Movement; Second Wave Feminism; Students Insurrection 1968; Educationalization; «Autonomy of Youth».

Since the early years of learning how to read and write, I knew I could always rely on them. I would also like to thank my companion and best friend, Ruth Zanini. She patiently listened to me whenever I had a new insight or when I was worried. She gave me advices when I needed them and also took care of my share of the housework when I was busy. In addition, I would like to thank my brother Ahyr, who has always been a source of inspiration and advice for me. And I would like to thank my friends, especially Fabio Coura, Marcelo Barreto and Renato Muchiuti, who were vital in keeping my spirits high during the whole Master's Course. I would also like to thank all teachers and professors who for the past twenty six years have helped me learn. Unfortunately, they are too many to fit in a single page and I do not want to risk forgetting someone. Nonetheless, I would like to acknowledge their contribution.

  • El Segundo Frente De Guerra Contra Batista
    1 Sierra del Escambray El Segundo F r e n t e d e Guerra contra B a t i s t a ¿ Cómo se fundo el frente de guerra del Escambray.? Por Miguel García Delgado y la colaboración de Roger Redondo, Dr. Armando Fleites, Felipe Lema, y Eloy Gutiérrez Menoyo. 2 A modo de prologo: Sobre La Revolución Cubana se han escrito infinidad de versiones. Algunos autores, atraídos por el complejo proceso insurreccional, que culminó con el derrocamiento de la dictadura de el General Fulgencio Batista, el 1 de Enero de 1959, se aventuraron a dar sus interpretaciones con interés y mérito, pero, con una objetividad relativa. La verdad, como necesidad histórica, tiene que abrirse el camino, forzándonos por una cuestión moral, a rescribir el proceso revolucionario, desde una perspectiva inclusiva, donde estén presentes, las múltiples facetas del clandestinaje, los asaltos heroicos y la creación de los diferentes Frentes Guerrilleros. Tomando en cuenta todos estos factores, nos aproximaremos a la realidad, de una manera mas completa y alejada del dogmatismo sectario y parcializado, de aquellos recuentos que dependen, solo, de la información gubernamental. Continuar por el camino fácil, viendo los hechos en parte y no en su conjunto, es el equivalente a engañarnos nosotros mismos, y algo mucho peor, ocultarle la verdad a las generaciones venideras. Es enteramente tendencioso que en la mayoría de los libros de historia, escritos dentro de Cuba, todo aquel protagonista que discrepó del curso de La Revolución y se apartó de ella, ha sido blanco de los peores calificativos; sin distinción ni matices, sin tomar en cuenta ni los méritos acumulados: todos pasaron a ser gusanos, apátridas, contrarrevolucionarios, agentes al servicio del Imperialismo, y por supuesto,sin que nadie se escapara de la acusación, agentes de la CIA.

  • Fidel Castro: the Eternal Flame, the Most Extraordinary of Revolutionaries
    Fidel Castro: The Eternal Flame, the Most Extraordinary of Revolutionaries The Icon of Movements Against Colonialism, Capitalism, Imperialist Domination, Exploitation and Humiliation By Dr. Birsen Filip Region: Latin America & Caribbean Global Research, November 24, 2017 Theme: History Castro (far left), Che Guevara (center), and other leading revolutionaries, marching through the streets in protest at the La Coubre explosion, March 5, 1960 On November 25, 2016, Cuban President Raúl Castro appeared on state television to announce the death of his brother and predecessor Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz (August 13, 1926 – November 25, 2016) at the age of 90. The following day, Cuba declared nine days of mourning for the incomparable revolutionary and courageous leader, during which time his cremated remains travelled 900 kilometres along the island and retraced the same route travelled by the “Freedom Caravan” in January 1959, but in reverse. Thousands of Cubans from every part of the island payed tribute to their late leader, often chanting “Yo Soy Fidel” (I Am Fidel) and “Viva Fidel!” (Long Live Fidel). Subsequently, on Decemberth 4, Fidel Castro’s ashes were buried at the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery in Santiago de Cuba, close to the remains of national hero José Julián Martí Pérez (1853-1895). A few weeks later, on December 27th, the Cuban government passed a law forbidding the naming of “institutions, streets, parks or other public sites” after Castro, “or erecting busts, statues or other forms of tribute” in his image, which was in accordance with Castro’s wishes that he not be made into a cult of personality after his death[1].
