Performances of Gender in Revolutionary Contexts: The Case of Nicaragua 1 Performances of Gender in Revolutionary Contexts: The Case of Nicaragua Performances de genre en contextes révolutionnaires : le cas du Nicaragua Viria Delgadillo Introduction 1 Gender policies were at the heart of the 1980s Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional’s (FSLN) plans for social change. These policies were crucial to the legitimation of the Sandinista government, both domestically and abroad. In the existing literature on the Nicaraguan revolution, the issues of gender and legal reform as well as gender and revolutionary ideology have been dealt with at length. Molyneux’s (2001), Kampwirth’s (1998, 2006, 2013, 2015) and Montoya’s (2003) illuminating works on Sandinista law-making and gender ideology address how revolutionary ideology shapes legislation regarding women, LGBTQI individuals and the family.

  • 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.

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.

    RESTLESS THE STORY OF EL ‘CHE’ GUEVARA by ALEX COX & TOD DAVIES first draft 19 jan 1993 © Davies & Cox 1993 2 VALLEGRANDE PROVINCE, BOLIVIA EXT EARLY MORNING 30 JULY 1967 In a deep canyon beside a fast-flowing river, about TWENTY MEN are camped. Bearded, skinny, strained. Most are asleep in attitudes of exhaustion. One, awake, stares in despair at the state of his boots. Pack animals are tethered nearby. MORO, Cuban, thickly bearded, clad in the ubiquitous fatigues, prepares coffee over a smoking fire. "CHE" GUEVARA, Revolutionary Commandant and leader of this expedition, hunches wheezing over his journal - a cherry- coloured, plastic-covered agenda. Unable to sleep, CHE waits for the coffee to relieve his ASTHMA. CHE is bearded, 39 years old. A LIGHT flickers on the far side of the ravine. MORO Shit. A light -- ANGLE ON RAUL A Bolivian, picking up his M-1 rifle. RAUL Who goes there? VOICE Trinidad Detachment -- GUNFIRE BREAKS OUT. RAUL is firing across the river at the light. Incoming bullets whine through the camp. EVERYONE is awake and in a panic. ANGLE ON POMBO CHE's deputy, a tall Black Cuban, helping the weakened CHE aboard a horse. CHE's asthma worsens as the bullets fly. CHE Chino! The supplies! 3 ANGLE ON CHINO Chinese-Peruvian, round-faced and bespectacled, rounding up the frightened mounts. OTHER MEN load the horses with supplies - lashing them insecurely in their haste. It's getting light. SOLDIERS of the Bolivian Army can be seen across the ravine, firing through the trees. POMBO leads CHE's horse away from the gunfire.

  • 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.

    316.74:77 Rewriting Revolutionary Myths: Photography in Castro’s Cuba and Tania Bruguera’s Tatlin’s Whisper#6 Louisa Söllner LMU Munich Abstract: Photography was a key medium for creating, INTRODUCTION spreading, and cementing myths about the Cuban Revolution and its leaders. In the first part of this essay, In her novel Days of Awe (2001), Cuban-American I’ll explore several iconic images as well as responses to novelist Achy Obejas reproduces the following story these pictures, all parts of a Cuban “cross-national about Fidel Castro‟s victory speech on the 8th of memory discourse” (cf. Quiroga, 2005). Walter Benjamin’s media philosophy can help in developing January 1959: “On both sides of the Straits of Florida insights about the functioning of these photographs. In there‟s a story about Fidel‟s first victory speech in the second part of the paper, I turn to Tania Bruguera’s Havana. Sometime shortly after he began, a white dove piece Tatlin’s Whisper#6 (staged at the 10th Havana perched on his left shoulder, leaving everyone Biennial in 2009), which radically rewrites the poetics of breathless. This is Fidel‟s voodoo: He does the the images and aspires to create a sense of participation impossible. He gets that bird to pose with him, and direct involvement. whether through strategy or sorcery it doesn‟t matter. In one case, it’s divine intervention; in the other, a Keywords: Photography, Memory Mediation, Diaspora, ” Performance Art, Walter Benjamin stroke of theatrical genius; in both, he wins.

  • RESEÑAS 326 Reseñas
    RESEÑAS 326 Reseñas Alarcón Ramírez, Dariel (“Benigno”). Memorias de un soldado cubano: Vida y muerte de la Revolución. Barcelona: Lumen&Tusquets Editores, 1a. edición en español, 1997, Colección Andanzas; 3a. edición en español, 2004, Colección Fábula. 360 páginas. Título original en francés: Vie et mort de la révolution cubaine. Fernando Cubides Profesor Titular, Departamento de Sociología Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sede Bogotá Sobreviviente. Así de escueta es la definición final que la editora de estas memorias ofrece del personaje que las relata. Parece evocar la manera en que se definía uno de los protagonistas claves de la Revolución Francesa para resumir los méritos de su propia participación: el Abate Sieyès, cuando la misma había terminado su ciclo histórico: “Sobreviví” ( “J’ai véçu”). Y es que, por lo visto, tratándose de revoluciones, haber participado en una de ellas, y haberla sobrevivi- do, es ya un mérito formidable. “Benigno”, el nombre de guerra con el que figura en el diario del Ché en Bolivia; o Dariel Alarcón Ramírez, como figura en el pasaporte francés como asilado político; o Dariel Roselló Ramírez, como debería haberse llamado este hijo de militar español y criolla cubana, si las circunstancias no lo hubiesen separado de sus padres en la primera infancia; es pues, ante todo un sobreviviente. Condición que impresiona más si se tiene en cuenta que al triunfo de la Revolución no inicia un ascenso en cargos de responsabilidad política, pues su analfabetismo sumado a una ingenuidad campesina –guajira– se lo impiden, sino que es asignado a las misiones más difíciles para las que ya fuere Camilo Cienfuegos, o el Ché Guevara, o el propio Fidel, lo consideran especialmente dotado dada sus cualidades de hombre de guerra, probadas desde las primeras acciones en las que toma parte.

  • 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.
