With the explosion of the French Steamship La Coubre, 60 years ago, the Cuban people corroborated Washington’s warmongering intentions. In addition to Ernesto Che Guevara’s firm expression, immortalized by photographer Alberto Korda, and the cry of “Homeland or Death!” uttered by Fidel Castro the next day, that tragedy left asimilar lesson as the many other sabotages that occurred before the failed Bay of Pigs invasionin Girón in April 1961. Internet Around 15:00, local time, the first explosion blew up nearly 31 tons of grenades and 44 tons of ammunition PHOTOS: that the steamship had carried from the Amberes Port of Belgium to Cuba, its final destination. “HOMELAND OR DEATH!” “Freedom means much more now. Freedom means The genocidal character of the action was confirmed One day after the catastrophe, a mass burial gathered Havana Homeland and our fight will be Homeland or Death!” he with the second explosion, when the aid corps, firemen residents at the intersection of the streets 23rd and 12th stated. and the Revolutionary Police had arrived at the site to -close to the Colon Cemetery- to bid farewell to the victims.

The final number of victims shook the country: 101 Castro, then showed evidence of the U.S. government’s According to various pieces of information, the Central people dead, including six French sailors and eight Spanish involvement in the crime, and said the words that became Intelligence Agency (CIA) prepared what Cuban authorities port workers, and 400 others injured or disabled for life. iconic, calling for the Cuban people’s resilience: called sabotage in one of those locations. Evidence disclosed by Fidel Castro himself exposed the complicity of the U.S. agencies held responsible for the explosion. The objective was to interrupt the supply of arms and ammunitions from third party countries and leave Cuba defenseless in the face of the increasing hostility. Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (alsoknown as French Line), which owned the ship at the time of the explosion, still has the French dossier with investigations in a safe. The release of the juridical services of the ship’s last owners is restricted for 150years. However, the truth is a transparent secret: the sabotage was orchestrated and led by U.S. intelligence services, as denounced by the Cuban authorities.

    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.

Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.

  • Sabotage Du Navire Français La Coubre Le 4 Mars 1960 Nadine Lalande
    Sabotage du navire français La Coubre le 4 mars 1960 Nadine Lalande Le sabotage du navire La Coubre dans la mémoire du peuple cubain. L’une des premières actions terroristes du Gouvernement des États-Unis contre Cuba eut un caractère monstrueux, le sabotage du navire français La Coubre le 4 mars 1960, à quai dans le port de la Havane. Le bateau avait chargé en Europe un lot important d’armements et d’équipements achetés à l’industrie nationale belge par le Gouvernement Révolutionnaire de Cuba, qui était déjà préoccupé par les actions agressives croissantes des États- Unis. Le chargement fut saboté par les agents de l’Agence Centrale d’Intelligence CIA au point d’embarquement, et les engins placés déclenchèrent une explosion ce jour-là à trois heures dix de l’après-midi alors que se déroulaient les opérations de déchargement. Aux premières heures de l’après-midi du 4 mars 1960, une détonation initiale se produisit et quelques minutes plus tard une deuxième qui causera le plus grand nombre de victimes, puisque à ce moment-là des dizaines de militaires et de travailleurs apportaient leur aide sur place aux victimes de la première explosion. Le navire la Coubre ainsi que le quai alentour étaient remplis de travailleurs portuaires, des soldats rebelles, de membres de la Police Nationale Révolutionnaire, de pompiers et du personnel de secours qui, sans se soucier du danger avaient accouru sur le lieu du désastre pour aider les victimes et pour prévenir les accidents. Le Commandant en Chef Fidel Castro Ruz, et d’autres dirigeants de la Révolution Cubaine firent acte de présence sur le lieu des faits.

  • Photo De Che Guevara « Guerrillero Heróico » Alberto Korda (Sources : Wikipedia )
    Photo de Che Guevara « guerrillero heróico » Alberto Korda (Sources : Wikipedia ) Guerrillero Heroico est un portrait photographique de Ernesto Che Guevara réalisé par Alberto Korda le 05/05/1960 , alors qu il assistait à l ' enterrement des victimes de l ' explosion de la Coubre ( Le cargo français La Coubre explosa par deux fois le 4 mars 1960, alors qu'il déchargeait des munitions belges dans le port de La Havane à Cuba. L'explosion fit au moins 75 morts et 200 blessés. Le gouvernement cubain accusa la CIA et condamna à mort William Alexander Morgan alors que les États-Unis penchaient pour la thèse d'un accident. ) C est une des photos les plus célèbres au monde . Alberto Korda donna cette photographie à l'éditeur italien Gianfranco Feltrinelli qui lui fit faire le tour du monde avec des centaines de posters et des couvertures de carnets après la mort du Che en 1967. L'année suivante, Andy Warhol en fait un tableau qui devient une icône artistique et commerciale. Korda, révolutionnaire convaincu, ne toucha pas un centime et ne réclama jamais aucun droit d'auteur jusqu'en 1990, quand la société Smirnoff a repris l'image de Guevara pour vendre de la vodka1. Korda était photographe pour le journal cubain Revolución le 6 mars 1960 quand il prit le fameux cliché . Korda raconta ainsi l'instant historique : « Je me trouvais à quelque dix-huit mètres de la tribune où Fidel prononçait un discours et je tenais à la main un appareil muni d'un court téléobjectif, lorsque je vis le Che s'approcher de la balustrade près de laquelle se tenaient Jean-Paul Sartre et Simone de Beauvoir.

  • Ernesto “Che” Guevara, Intelectual Latinamericano: Notas Para Un Estudio Crítico De Su Pensamiento
    1 Ernesto “Che” Guevara, intelectual latinamericano: Notas para un estudio crítico de su pensamiento. Hugo Cancino I.‐ Introducción. Pudiera parecer extraño incluir a Ernesto “Che” Guevara1 en la categoría social de los intelectuales. Si se define a los intelectuales como una elite que contempla, teoriza y crítica al orden existente y al poder desde una “torre de marfil” o que lo defiende, manteniéndose lejos de la acción, el Che no podría incluirse en esta categoría. El eje que definió su vida fue la profunda unidad entre su pensamiento y su acción. Pero fue su acción, más que su discurso, sus gestos testimoniales y su trágica muerte en Bolivia en 1967, los acontecimiento que contribuyeron a transformar su historia en una leyenda. En esta comprensión su imagen se ha convertido en ícono2, que se muestra en carteles, en adorno de camisetas, como decoración en diferentes objetos y artefactos y en la gráfica de las miles de páginas de la Web construidas en su homenaje. Para los jóvenes más politizados la imagen del “Ché”, en la célebre fotografía de Korda3, denota a un revolucionario, un rebelde intransigente en contra de la injusticia y la opresión donde quiera que esta se presentara y cuya vida y muerte testimonian la fidelidad a unos ideales revolucionarios y a una actitud ética que trascendería la época en el que Che viviera. La figura del Che ha trascendido al siglo XX y su representación iconizada de un revolucionario que renunció al poder, que ha llegado a ser el símbolo y signo de todas las protestas de los movimientos sociales en contra de la globalización neo‐ liberal.

The historical events Che partook in have been studied for decades by historians around the world and no consensus has been reached as to the morality of his actions. Many people throughout Latin America view Guevara as a heroic martyr for the people, whereas many people from the rest of the world see him as little more than a terrorist. What many of these historians fail to address is what exactly made Ernesto Guevara leave his relatively upper-middle class, loving family behind to pursue a life of revolution and guerrilla warfare.

  • Ernesto Che Guevara Guerrillero Heroico Alberto Korda
    ONO arte contemporanea VIA SANTA MARGHERITA 10 | 40123 BOLOGNA | +39 051 262465 Ernesto Che Guevara Guerrillero Heroico Alberto Korda Opening, giovedì 2 marzo, ore 18.30 Ingresso Libero ONO arte contemporanea via santa margherita, 10 bologna | www.onoarte.com ONO arte contemporanea è lieta di presentare Ernesto Che Guevara Guerrillero Heroico una personale di Alberto Korda, fotografo cubano che deve la sua notorietà all’omonima immagine scattata al Che, che può essere considerata come la più iconica e famosa nella storia della cultura popolare. L’immagine fu scattata con una Leica durante un funerale di Stato il 5 marzo del 1960, ma fu pubblicata solo un anno dopo sul quotidiano cubano «Revolución». Personaggio pubblico e persona si fondono in un’immagine che lentamente diventa vero e proprio immaginario, portando con sé una serie di significati che via via sbiadiscono da quella pellicola, che diventa vera e propria icona. Quell’immagine è stata non solo simbolo di un’epoca, ma a livello estetico e concettuale può annoverarsi a pieno titolo tra le immagini e le icone pop che anche lo stesso Andy Warhol ha portato nell’empireo dell’arte contemporanea. Ma la storia di Che Guevara e di Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, detto Korda, va molto oltre rispetto a questo singolo scatto, che sicuramente ne è riassunto e compendio. Sullo sfondo Cuba e la rivoluzione, Che Guevara e Fidel Castro, ma anche tutto il milieau culturale di un’epoca, fatto di personaggi di spicco della moda e della letteratura. Fu Richard Avedon a convincerlo ad aprire il suo primo studio fotografico e presto Korda divenne il più importante fotografo di moda cubano oltre che volontario per la “Rivoluzione”.

  • Grand Slam De Despaigne Coloca a Cuba En Segunda Ronda Del Clásico Mundial
    Grand Slam de Despaigne coloca a Cuba en segunda ronda del Clásico Mundial Tokio, Japón, 10 mar (RHC) Grand Slam de Alfredo Despaigne y relevo de altos kilates de Miguel Lahera dieron a Cuba un peleado triunfo ante Australia 4-3, para colocarla en la segunda ronda del IV Clásico Mundial de Béisbol. Australia fue el primero en anotar por cohete remolcador de Logan Wade en el quinto ante el abridor Lázaro Blanco, batazo sobre el que el patrullero izquierdo Alfredo Despaigne no mostró un gran brazo. Pero el cuarto bate del ‘team’’ Cuba tomó desquite en la parte baja de esa entrada y castigó con toda su fuerza una recta del relevista zurdo Lachlan Wells con las bases llenas, para desaparecer la pelota a más de 400 pies por entre left y center y darle un giro al marcador. ‘’Salí a buscar un batazo porque en ese momento era importante para el equipo y con mucha paciencia logré el objetivo’’, dijo a la prensa Despaigne, recién fichado por el Softbank de la Liga Japonesa y ahora colíder en jonrones en la historia del Clásico, con 6, junto a su compañero Frederich Cepeda. Los australianos siempre dieron batalla –como si el partido fuera una réplica del celebrado entre ambos equipos en el Clásico de 2009, también el 10 de marzo y ganado por Cuba 5-4 por jonrón de Yosvany Peraza. Este viernes mandaron antes de lo esperado a las duchas a Blanco y luego siempre tuvieron sobre un volcán a Yoanni Yera, Vladimir García y Liván Moinelo. Pero el cerrador Miguel Lahera – quinto pitcher empleado por el mentor Carlos Martí- se presentó intratable con su recta de hasta 91 millas y retiró el noveno sin manchas, con dos ponches incluidos, para sellar el triunfo y poner a Cuba otra vez entre los ocho mejores.
