A Return to Cuba Helps Eduardo Machado Find Home and Inspiration C olumbia U niversity RECORD November 9, 2001 3 OFF CAMPUS A Return to Cuba Helps Eduardo Machado Find Home and Inspiration BY KRISTIN STERLING “Did they throw me out, or did I walk away from my country?” This question plagues many Cuban exiles and resonates throughout Eduardo Machado’s “Havana is Waiting.” The play is a semi-autobio- graphical drama inspired by Machado’s own emotion-filled return to Cuba in 1999. At the age of nine, Machado’s parents put him and his younger brother on a “Peter Pan” flight to the U.S., a decision that Machado, like many others, has questioned and resented all of his life. Over 13,000 Cuban children made similar flights during the early 1960s, as their parents feared Communist indoctrination and the revolutionary government under Fidel Castro. Machado, an associate profes- sor in the Theatre Arts Division of the School of the Arts, describes his return to Cuba as “the most important experience of my adult life… that trip opened up a whole world of things that I yearn for.” PHOTO BY CAROL ROSEGG, COURTESY OF SPRINGER/CHICOINE PUBLIC RELATIONS Machado reveals much of him- Felix Solis, left, Bruce MacVittie, center, and Ed Vassalo, right, take a journey home in Eduardo Machado’s play, “Havana is Waiting.” The self in this very personal, production will run through Dec. 31 at the Cherry Lane Theatre. thoughtful and political work.

  • Food, Fantasy, and Fetishism in Tastes Like Cuba by Eduardo Machado
    Pascual Soler, N. At the Postnational Table: Food, Fantasy, and Fetishism in Tastes Like Cuba by Eduardo Machado. Latin American Research Review. 2017; 52(1), pp. 110-123. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.75 LITERATURE AND CULTURAL STUDIES At the Postnational Table: Food, Fantasy, and Fetishism in Tastes Like Cuba by Eduardo Machado Nieves Pascual Soler University of Jaén, ES [email protected] This article explores the transition from nationalism to postnationalism through food in Tastes Like Cuba: An Exile’s Hunger for Home (2007), by playwright Eduardo Machado. The framework used is Sigmund Freudʼs narrative of the Oedipus complex. I suggest that the exilic condition of Oedipus and his rebellious behavior make the Oedipal narrative a useful tool for approaching the postnational rejection of the oppressive nature of the nation. I replace the phallus as the source of pleasure with food, and argue that the memories that ensure the continuity of the nation are largely alimentary. A study of what Eduardo Machado eats or refuses to eat to keep recognizing himself as Cuban leads me to explore ways in which the nation shapes subjectivity and the subject informs the postnation, adding to the scholarship on Cuban American literature. Este artículo explora la transición del modelo nacionalista al postnacionalista en Tastes Like Cuba: An Exileʼs Hunger for Home (2007) del escritor cubano Eduardo Machado. El marco teórico es el de la narración del complejo de Edipo según Sigmund Freud. Se sugiere que la condición de exilio de Edipo, así como su rebeldía hacen de esta narración una herramienta útil para analizar el rechazo postnacionalista de la naturaleza opresiva de la nación.
