摘要

非洲散居的人们已经发展出一种复杂的社会视觉语言系统,将头发作为自我表达的手段;然而,古巴几十年的经济制裁产生了一种独特的政治动态,形成了自我形象和文化表达的概念。16名非裔古巴妇女接受了关于她们头发的文化意义的采访,使用的方法是“头发自传指南”。参与者的主题包括审美骄傲和自信,头发欺凌和尴尬,头发损伤和痛苦。一份古巴文化评论强调了非裔古巴女性是如何被社会化的,她们更喜欢拉直的长发,而不是紧卷的头发。这些发现表明,尽管古巴文化意识形态中注入了“不分种族”的政治革命精神,但非洲人后裔通过头发来处理种族政治和身份认同。

‘No toques mi pelo’ (don’t touch my hair): decoding Afro-Cuban identity politics through hair
ABSTRACT People across the African Diaspora have developed a complex socio-visual-language system of hair as a means of self-expression; however, the decades of economic sanctions in Cuba generated a unique political dynamic that has shaped concepts of self-image and cultural expressions. Sixteen Afro-Cuban women were interviewed about the cultural significance of their hair using The Guided Hair Autobiography methodology. Participant themes included aesthetic pride and confidence, hair bullying and embarrassment, and hair damage and distress. A Cuban cultural critique underlines how Afro-Cuban women have been socialized to have a bias towards straightened long hair over tightly coiled hair textures. These findings suggest that despite the ‘raceless’ political revolutionary spirit infused into Cuban cultural ideology, people of African descent process racial politics and identity through hair.
