School of Oriental and African Studies University of London “Fiesta de Diez Pesos”: Music as a Space for Identity, Interaction, and Escapism, among Gay Men in Special Period Havana Moshe Morad Thesis submitted to the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 12, 2012 1 2 Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between music and gay identity in Havana during the período especial, an extended period of economic depression starting in the early 1990s, characterised by a collapse of revolutionary values and social norms, and a way of life conducted by improvised solutions for survival, including hustling and sex-work. A thriving, though constantly harassed and destabilised, clandestine gay “scene” has developed in Havana. During eight different visits between 1995 and 2007, I became absorbed in the scene, created a wide social network, attended numerous secret gatherings—from clandestine parties to religious rituals—observed patterns of behaviour and communication, and the way the scene changed and evolved. I discovered the role of music in it as a marker of identity, a source of queer codifications and identifications, a medium of interaction, an outlet for emotion and a way to escape from a reality of scarcity, oppression and despair. I argue that music plays a central role in providing the physical, emotional, and conceptual spaces which constitute this scene and in the formation of a new hybrid “gay identity” in Special- Period Havana. My methodology is based on gathering evidence in situ as a primary fieldwork tool, and drawing on local discourse both as a major source of information and as an important analytical tool. Anecdotal accounts are supported, tested, and verified through short surveys and many personal communications. Recent publications about Cuban music in the Special Period discuss gender and sexuality, but hardly deal with homosexuality, whilst researches on homosexuality in Cuba hardly mention music. This thesis fills this gap and features an analysis of five musical “spaces” in Cuba from a “queer ethnomusicology” perspective. Furthermore, understanding the role of music in providing space for expression and identity-creation to a marginalised and stigmatised group, can offer pointers for deciphering similar processes in other societies. 3 Table of Contents Abstract.................................................................................................................... 3 Table of contents……………..………………………………………………..….. 4 Index of figures………………………………………………………….………... 7 Index of photographs............................................................................................... 7 Preface…………………………………………………………………………… 9 Acknowledgments……………………………………………………………..... 15 Chapter 1 Introduction……………………………………………………….. 18 Chapter 2 Literature review…………………………………………………... 29 Cuban music……………………………………………………………………... 29 Cuban homosexuality……………………………………………………………. 34 Gay/queer music…………………………………………………………………. 38 Chapter 3 Approach and theoretical background Introduction ……………………………………………………………………. 42 The privileged parameter………………………………………………………... 42 Sameness………………………………………………………………………… 43 The use of theory………………………………………………………………… 44 Musical geography: music, space and place -

  • Orisha Journeys: the Role of Travel in the Birth of Yorùbá-Atlantic Religions 1
    Arch. de Sc. soc. des Rel., 2002, 117 (janvier-mars) 17-36 Peter F. COHEN ORISHA JOURNEYS: THE ROLE OF TRAVEL IN THE BIRTH OF YORÙBÁ-ATLANTIC RELIGIONS 1 Introduction 2 In recent years the array of Orisha 3 traditions associated withtheYorùbá- speaking peoples of West Africa has largely broken free of the category of “Afri- can traditional religion” and begun to gain recognition as a nascent world religion in its own right. While Orisha religions are today both trans-national and pan-eth- nic, they are nonetheless the historical precipitate of the actions and interactions of particular individuals. At their human epicenter are the hundreds of thousands of Yorùbá-speaking people who left their country during the first half of the 19th cen- tury in one of the most brutal processes of insertion into the world economy under- gone by any people anywhere; the Atlantic slave trade. While the journey of the Middle Passage is well known, other journeys under- taken freely by Africans during the period of the slave trade – in a variety of direc- tions, for a multiplicity of reasons, often at great expense, and sometimes at great personal risk – are less so. These voyages culminated in a veritable transmigration involving thousands of Yorùbá-speaking people and several points on both sides of 1 Paper presented at the 1999 meeting of the Société Internationale de la Sociologie des Religions. This article was originally prepared in 1999. Since then, an impressive amount of literature has been published on the subject, which only serves to strengthen our case. A great deal of new of theoretical work on the African Diaspora in terms of trans-national networks and mutual exchanges has not so much challenged our arguments as diminished their novelty.

  • Music Production and Cultural Entrepreneurship in Today’S Havana: Elephants in the Room
    MUSIC PRODUCTION AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN TODAY’S HAVANA: ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM by Freddy Monasterio Barsó A thesis submitted to the Department of Cultural Studies In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2018) Copyright ©Freddy Monasterio Barsó, 2018 Abstract Cultural production and entrepreneurship are two major components of today’s global economic system as well as important drivers of social development. Recently, Cuba has introduced substantial reforms to its socialist economic model of central planning in order to face a three-decade crisis triggered by the demise of the USSR. The transition to a new model, known as the “update,” has two main objectives: to make the state sector more efficient by granting more autonomy to its organizations; and to develop alternative economic actors (small private businesses, cooperatives) and self-employment. Cultural production and entrepreneurship have been largely absent from the debates and decentralization policies driving the “update” agenda. This is mainly due to culture’s strategic role in the ideological narrative of the ruling political leadership, aided by a dysfunctional, conservative cultural bureaucracy. The goal of this study is to highlight the potential of cultural production and entrepreneurship for socioeconomic development in the context of neoliberal globalization. While Cuba is attempting to advance an alternative socialist project, its high economic dependency makes the island vulnerable to the forces of global neoliberalism. This study focuses on Havana’s music sector, particularly on the initiatives, musicians and music professionals operating in the informal economy that has emerged as a consequence of major contradictions and legal gaps stemming from an outdated cultural policy and ambiguous regulation.

    Authentic Assertions, Commercial Concessions: Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960 by Christina D. Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.
