In doing so, they circumvented the spirit, if not always the letter, of a broader US sanctions regime meant to deny material lifelines of any kind to the island's socialist economy. This essay uses promotional materials from and press coverage about this shipment business to illustrate one of the ways the ideological, diplomatic, and material “Sugar Curtain” dividing the “two Cubas” in the wake of the Cuban Revolution was more permeable than many realise. Notwithstanding the unavailability of pertinent Cuban government records, I also draw on the island press and a set of Cuban laws passed in 1968 to illustrate how political apprehensions over the fairly robust flow of parcels in the 1960s did eventually prompt a Cuban government response.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1932443","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49169068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The video’s climax reveals the face that is attached to the sound; spectators glimpse a framed Fidel as if within a soapbox, adorned with the artifice that, the video suggests, sustained the Revolution (Figure 1). The hand packs them back into the box, but the jewels still do not fit, a fact that suggests the rhetoric is not an adequate exchange. The Revolution can keep its “recuperated” goods, as long as it covers up Fidel’s face. Is there wealth, perhaps, beyond the limits delineated by Pluto? Another possible interpretation of the video might echo this article’s epigraph “mucha tienda, poca alma”, that is, a hypocrisy beneath the strength in ideology. Finally, taking into account Pav on’s multiple artistic interventions critiquing the revolutionary government, the video might be implying that no amount of gold can change the present; that is to say, Fidel Castro’s imprint on Cuban reality.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42673863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By providing recipes and educational content about cooking and nutrition, Villapol played a crucial role as a mediator between state and citizenry. In the process, she taught generations of Cuban audiences how to reconcile their lived realities with the ideological imperatives of revolutionary citizenship, which included upholding nationalist ideals by combatting imperialism through an ethos of creativity and thriftiness in the kitchen. Comparative analysis of the 1960 and 1980 editions of Cocina al minuto illustrates the consequences that austerity and dependence on the Soviet bloc had on the options available to Cuban consumers, in terms of both goods and foodstuffs into the late 1970s, a period remembered for its relative abundance. Nitza Villapol helped Cuban women to navigate these consequences, offering solutions to the shortcomings of state economic policies and transmitting state values with regard to how home cooks should understand and experience those shortcomings.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1919607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41269494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I propose that this encounter was a harbinger of subsequent experiences of popular culture consumption in contemporary Cuba, while also drawing from histories of regional connection that placed Santiago de Cuba in a constellation of trans-Caribbean exchanges. The moment shows how, during the Special Period crisis, media producers sought new paths through which to navigate the technological challenges of making television amidst material shortages, and in doing so created new imaginaries of a transnational consumer culture which featured (specific and appropriate) newly built spaces of leisure and distinctive brands of consumption. The television broadcast was a consciously crafted mediation of emerging consumer cultures that at once repudiated and represented the everyday experience of Cuban society as rooted in crisis, scarcity, and socialist taste hierarchies.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1937084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45800316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attention is paid to three cases that unravel a national and international staging of a universal “decent” Cuban culture in the post-Obama era: (1) the 2017 intervention Where is Mella? by “amateur” artist Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, who called attention to the Cuban military’s commercial alliance with Kempinksi, the Swiss/German hotel group, critiquing Cuba’s new landscape of luxury; (2) Pluto (2016), video art by Geandy Pavón that alludes to a chain of embezzlements and substitutions; and (3) the performances of two “amateur” musicians: Chocolate MC, who, though popular, is also deemed repulsive on both sides of the Florida Straits, and Cimafunk, celebrated as a cultural ambassador. A contemplation on “excess” – a 5-star hotel, junk jewellery, or bling bling – allows for questions of who the Cuban state recognises as an artist, how artists appropriate and expropriate ideas of luxury and refinement, and whether these substitutions can sufficiently erode colonial legacies that continue to contain those subjectivities perceived as excessive.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2021.1937965","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42196726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article takes up that concept, but revisits and alters it. It turns it around, proposing for what we call the “new disappearances” the concept of “inverted exception”. It does so through the examination of two concrete empirical situations – migrant houses in Mexico and the sanctuary movement in the United States – applying the same ethnographical observation approach to both and using the analysis of those situations to inform the theoretical reflection proposed here. The conclusion is that, while these “new disappearances” have, like enforced disappearances, a direct and close relationship with “spaces of exception”, that relationship now operates inversely: the space of exception is today sometimes the space of appearance, while the norm is widespread disappearance.","PeriodicalId":56341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13569325.2020.1839869","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41499821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
