Kubanische Lyrik in Paris: „ĺnsulas al pairo“ von William Navarrete
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Hispanistik, Note: 2,7, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Institut für Romanische Sprachen und Literaturen), Veranstaltung: Kuba und die karibische Literatur - eine komparatistische Annäherung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kuba ist ein Land, das durch seine Kolonisationsgeschichte mehrere Ethnien und Kulturen beheimatet. Daher eignet sich Kuba gut dazu, Veränderungen der Kulturdefinition aufzuzeigen. Bereits im 17. Jahrhundert erkannte Samuel von Pufendorf, dass Kultur ein Generalbegriff ist, der nicht nur einzelne, sondern sämtliche menschliche Lebensäußerungen umfasst. Diese beinhalten alle Tätigkeiten e...

Cuba
In Cuba, internationally renowned artists, philosophers, and writers reflect on the idea of a nation displaced. Featuring contributions from Isabel Alvarez Borland, Antonio Benítez-Rojo, María Cristina García, William Navarrete, Eliana Rivero, Rafael Rojas, and Carlos Victoria, as well as many others, Cuba is a rich collection of essays, testimonials, and interviews that reveal the complex, often antagonistic cultural and political debates coexisting within the Cuban exile population. As a multivoiced text, Cuba formulates a deeper understanding of diasporic identity, and broadens the discussion of the manner in which Cuban cultural identity and nationhood have been constructed, negotiated, and transformed by physical and cultural displacement.
Fugas
Una novela sobre la inevitabilidad de huir, la orfandad y la libertad que pondrá en duda la historia oficial de la isla para hablar de los vínculos familiares, del poder y de la influencia que la han llevado al yugo que vive actualmente. Con un ritmo trepidante y un lenguaje poético, conviven el humor y la crítica social. Afloran personajes en cuyo destino se vislumbran la posibilidad de los recuerdos, la primordial importancia de la música, la facultad de los sueños, el delirio del carnaval y la esencia de la identidad. Un réquiem por la Habana, un canto de cisne por una ciudad moribunda que, milagrosamente, permanece de pie.
William Hickling Prescott
William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859) was one of those rare historians who effectively melded history and literature in an elegant, compelling writing style that appealed to the casual reader, while still meeting the strict criteria of the scholar. Prescott was the first American historian to achieve international recognition with his critically acclaimed History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Plagued by poor vision and chronic health issues, he was determined to make his mark as a historian. His follow-up work, The History of the Conquest of Mexico, is considered his masterpiece. Prescott went on to write A History of the Conquest of Peru, History of the Reign of Philip II and a 200-page addendum to William Robertson's History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V. Drawing on correspondence and journal entries, this book traces the life of one of America's most celebrated historians.
Afro-Cuban Identity in Postrevolutionary Novel and Film
Afro-Cuban Identity in Post-Revolutionary Novel and Film examines the changing discourse on race as portrayed in Cuban novels and films produced after 1959. Andrea Easley Morris analyzes the artists' participation in and questioning of the revolutionary government's revision of national identity to include the unique experience and contributions of Cuban men and women of African descent. While the Cuban revolution brought sweeping changes that vastly improved the material condition of many Afro-Cubans, at the time overrepresented among Cuba's poor and marginalized, the government's official position was that racial inequities had been resolved as early as 1962. Although a more open dialogue ...

Cuban Artists Across the Diaspora
As an island—a geographical space with mutable and porous borders—Cuba has never been a fixed cultural, political, or geographical entity. Migration and exile have always informed the Cuban experience, and loss and displacement have figured as central preoccupations among Cuban artists and intellectuals. A major expression of this experience is the unconventional, multi-generational, itinerant, and ongoing art exhibit CAFÉ: The Journeys of Cuban Artists. In Cuban Artists Across the Diaspora, Andrea O'Reilly Herrera focuses on the CAFÉ project to explore Cuba's long and turbulent history of movement and rupture from the perspective of its visual arts and to meditate upon the manner in w...
