"Encarnar la palabra.' Discurso, protestas y cuerpo política en Cuba y du diáspora"

This discussion will be in Spanish.

Los estudios académicos sobre estallidos sociales en América Latina a menudo ignoran la influencia de las diásporas. Esta presentación analizará la configuración de realidades políticas transnacionales antes, durante y después del estallido social del 11 de julio de 2021 en Cuba. A través del examen del papel del arte y de las lenguas (español e inglés) como formas de materialidad en diversos espacios, se explorarán las interacciones entre diáspora, cultura y protesta, iluminando los procesos performativos de nuevas ciudadanías e imaginarios de la nación.

The Latin American Critical Cultural Studies Working Group focuses on Latin American Studies with a critical cultural approach. It is a space for discussion of humanities that are equally fundamental to the debate on Latin American democracies and development. Issues like migration, poverty and inequality, civil and human rights, modernization processes, collective memory, social movements and feminism, authoritarianism, and racial violence cannot be properly analyzed without inclusion of their expressions in the arts and literatures of the region.
