It is this loss of centralised control of the production process that is at the heart of the institution’s problems, and this article draws on the work of Italian philosopher Antonio gramsci to illustrate how hegemony is operating within Cuban cinema production today, ultimately arguing that what is involved today in Cuban cinema is a struggle for hegemony and a crisis of civil society.","PeriodicalId":254309,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Cuban Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126550960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Birches Too Difficult to Cut Down: The Rejection and Assimilation of the Soviet Reference in Cuban Culture","authors":"Rafael Pedemonte","doi":"10.13169/INTEJCUBASTUD.9.1.0127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.13169/INTEJCUBASTUD.9.1.0127","url":null,"abstract":"Recently, some observers have been alluding to a sort of lasting 'nostalgia' concerning the Soviet Union, perceptible in different spheres of society. It is undoubtable that during the 1980s, Soviet cooperation brought a kind of material 'abundance'. As some scholars (Damaris Punales-Alpizar, Jacqueline Loss, Yoss, Reina Maria Rodriguez)1 have convincingly demonstrated, products from the Eastern Bloc: publications for example, as well as canned food (such as the famous carne rusa), well-known television shows munequitos (appreciated by young and not so young television watchers) or the everlasting home appliances (it is enough to look at the Soviet ventilators which, despite their rudeness and simplicity, keep on relieving the unbearable heat of the Island), induce some Cubans to see the 1980s with a touch of longing; a nostalgia that was increased by the brutal contrast with the penuries that the population had to face during the Periodo Especial.Nevertheless, far from being always a harmonious relationship between two familiar countries, Soviet-Cuban links are a very complex phenomenon, characterised by instabilities, vicissitudes, and contradictions. To wholly understand the evolution of mutual attitudes, we should take into consideration the various tensions detonated throughout the turbulent 1960s. The Cuban Revolution did not automatically generate an immediate identification with the Soviet socialist orbit. Among those who fought against Batista's regime, many have never been strong advocates of the model embodied by Moscow. Others just wanted absolutely nothing to do with Communism in Cuba. We could mention the shortterm president Manuel Urrutia (January-July 1959), who even identified his country with the Capitalist sphere when he received, with unhidden praises, the brand-new American Ambassador in March 1959, Philip Bonsal: 'Ciertamente, tanto los Estados Unidos como Cuba responden a una misma ideologia democratica, republicana y liberal', said in this opportunity President Urrutia, keeping hard words to the Eastern system:De un lado, nuestra cultura occidental, que tienen por divisa el respeto a los valores del espiritu y a los derechos del hombre, y de otro, la que secuestra tanto la soberania de los pueblos como la consciencia individual, mediante la persecucion y la muerte.2Without wishing to generalise, it was not uncommon to hear within some families a member declaring with conviction, 'I am Fidelista, but I would never be a Communist.' Let us not forget that the concept of 'Socialist' for defining the revolutionary process was first pronounced by Fidel Castro in April 1961, more than two years after the 'Bearded one's' triumphal entry into Havana. But beyond these questions about political definitions - inevitable in a project in quest of meaning - what is interesting to observe is that the openness towards a multiplicity of references was also noticeable in the intellectual circles of the 1960s, where the narrow principles of t","PeriodicalId":254309,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Cuban Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126546734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estas dinamicas impactan fuertemente en el desarrollo de los procesos que implican la actualizacion del modelo economico, no solamente desde el punto de vista de su implementacion desde los sectores decisores (marcados por procedimientos centrales y verticalistas que generan inconsistencias e inseguridades), sino tambien en la configuracion de los procesos estructurales y normativos1 que le deben dar sustento a partir del distanciamiento e inadaptacion de los actores que a nivel micro social deben cumplimentarlos. En este punto es importante destacar que resulta indiscutible que estos procesos impactan de forma diferenciada los diferentes espacios y sectores economicos de la sociedad cubana a partir de su relacion con el aparato economico estatal o con el tipo de modelo de gestion y organizacion economica y del trabajo en que se inserte. Por lo que las contradicciones aumentaran en funcion del nivel de enfrentamiento entre los niveles de descentralizacion respecto a los organismos de la administracion central y la centralizacion y el verticalismo de las estructuras y presupuestos organizativos de estos procesos de actualizacion.Por otra parte, otro de los presupuestos fundamentales de la actualizacion del modelo economico parece ser el reforzamiento a las logicas de desarrollo local en la gestion social y economica. Pero este presupuesto parece estar enfrentando las mismas contradicciones anteriormente expresadas, las que evidentemente no permiten estructuraciones socioeconomicas efectivas para el contexto actual de desarrollo de la sociedad cubana a partir de la nueva apertura a las formas no estatales de gestion de la propiedad y el trabajo.Este constituye el caso de la conformacion de cooperativas en el sector de servicios, lo cual, al amparo del lineamiento 25 aprobado en los Lineamientos Economicos y Sociales del VI Congreso del Partido Comunista de Cuba (PCC; 2012), las define como una forma socialista de propiedad colectiva que en diferentes sectores constituyen una organizacion economica con personalidad juridica y patrimonio propio integradas por personas que se asocian aportando bienes o trabajo, con la finalidad de producir y prestar servicios utiles a la sociedad y asumen sus gastos e ingresos. Este tipo de modelo de gestion y organizacion de la propiedad y del trabajo parte de principios de asociacion voluntaria como base para el desarrollo de relaciones de trabajo cooperativas, solidarias y de gestion economica, lo cual aparece difuso en el propio lineamiento que le da sustento a su creacion y que en la practica parece estar constituyendo un principio inaplicado, generando ya desde su surgimiento dinamicas contradicto","PeriodicalId":254309,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Cuban Studies","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123974171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En esta direccion es necesario integrar el proceso de perfeccionamiento de la empresa estatal (Chaviano Saldana y Trista Arbesu 1998), que se venia desarrollando desde finales de la decada de los noventa, a las politicas del Modelo Economico con el fin de garantizar el desarrollo de un sistema empresarial organizado, disciplinado, etico, participativo, eficaz y eficiente, que genere mayores aportes a la sociedad socialista y que las empresas se conviertan en organizaciones de alto reconocimiento social (Comite Ejecutivo del Consejo de Ministros 1998; Consejo de Ministros 2007).Sin embargo, los problemas acumulados en la construccion del socialismo y la ulterior crisis del llamado 'socialismo real', han llevado a reevaluar el proceso de transicion o construccion de un nuevo sistema social, como alternativa a las contradicciones del sistema capitalista; el cual no puede entenderse como el simple reconocimiento formal desde el orden politico, sino como un resultado gradual de las transformaciones que en tal direccion se realicen. En consecuencia, no es posible dejar los criterios esenciales sobre la naturaleza socialista de los procesos socioeconomicos y en especial, los empresariales, a su determinacion solo por las coyunturas sociopoliticas en uno u otro momento, o por la simple declaracion politica. Hay que distinguir entre los objetivos y la voluntad politica para la construccion del socialismo, con la identificacion automatica de las transformaciones y organizaciones economicas que se generan en cada momento bajo esta misma perspectiva.La complejidad de la transicion socialista se caracteriza por la multiplicidad de relaciones sociales de propiedad y gestion, en tanto coexisten relaciones que se quieren desarrollar, con aquellas que se deben mantener, asi como la combinacion de ambas. Tambien depende del grado de desarrollo del cual se parte, del sistema contradictorio de intereses a nivel del individuo, los colectivos y la sociedad; el grado de insercion en la economia internacional, el nivel de desarrollo politico e institucional del pais, asi como del grado de participacion democratica de la sociedad en la direccion politica y economica, tanto a nivel nacional como local. La propia naturaleza contradictoria de la transicion incluye la posibilidad de que el proceso sea reversible, en tanto predominen las tendencias contrapuestas entre los efectos reales de las transformaciones realizadas, con respecto a los resultados que se esperan obtener en funcion de la vision y los objetivos estrategicos.Uno de los problemas centrales que no fuer","PeriodicalId":254309,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Cuban Studies","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121084693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
