Smallpox vaccination, the establishment of vaccination boards, and state formation in Venezuela and Cuba in the nineteenth century

The Balmis expedition, sent to America by the Spanish monarch Charles IV in 1803, was a watershed in the history of Medicine as it made smallpox vaccination available for the first time, effectively prevented the disease from spreading, and saved thousands of lives. Immunization required complex administrative measures and political decisions including the creation of Vaccination Boards, all of which involved different sectors of Spanish American society. This dissertation argues that at the beginning of the nineteenth century the Spanish American colonial state had reached some level of maturity and cohesion that made it capable of executing this complex project in public health. The significance of this mobilization and the every-day experience in implementing this new public health measure is the center of this work. It is situated geographically in Venezuela and Cuba, entities which took different evolutionary paths in the nineteenth century. The organization and functioning of Vaccination Boards in these two areas are used to illustrate the state formation process, and sharp political differences in this critical period.

Inter-subjective and transnational racial effects: The role of the United States in the formation and evolution of the collective perception and racial relations in Cuba, 1898–1902

Since the arrival of the first African slaves to Cuba in 1524, the issue of race has had a long-lived presence in the Cuban national discourse. However, despite Cuba’s colonial history, it has often been maintained by some historians that race relations in Cuba were congenial with racism and racial discrimination never existing as deep or widespread in Cuba as in the United States (Cannon, 1983, p. 113). In fact, it has been argued that institutionalized racism was introduced into Cuban society with the first U.S. occupation, during 1898–1902 (Cannon, 1983, p. 113). This study of Cuba investigates the influence of the United States on the development of race relations and racial perceptions in post-independent Cuba, specifically from 1898-1902. These years comprise the time period immediately following the final fight for Cuban Independence, culminating with the Cuban-Spanish-American War and the first U.S. occupation of Cuba. By this time, the Cuban population comprised Africans as well as descendants of Africans, White Spanish people, indigenous Cubans, and offspring of the intermixing of the groups. This research studies whether the United States’ own race relations and racial perceptions influenced the initial conflicting race relations and racial perceptions in early and post-U.S. occupation Cuba. This study uses a collective interpretative framework that incorporates a national level of analysis with a race relations and racial perceptions focus. This framework reaches beyond the traditionally utilized perspectives when interpreting the impact of the United States during and following its intervention in Cuba. Attention is given to the role of the existing social, political climate within the United States as a driving influence of the United States’ involvement with Cuba. This study reveals that emphasis on the role of the United States as critical to the development of Cuba’s race relations and racial perceptions is credible given the extensive involvement of the U.S. in the building of the early Cuban Republic and U.S. structures serving as models for reconstruction. U.S. government formation in Cuba aligned with a governing system reflecting the existing governing codes of the U.S. during that time period.

El Señor Presidente y el vanguardismo surrealista

El Señor Presidente es un texto vanguardista, no según la modalidad europea, sino según la vertiente híbrida surgida en América Latina. La novela utiliza recursos y estrategias discursivas del surrealismo para redimensionar las experiencias subjetivas de unos personajes envueltos por la atmósfera pesadillesca y demoníaca de la dictadura. Como texto híbrido mezcla lo ajeno (vanguardias europeas y cristianismo) y lo propio (cultura maya-quiché); y su confluencia posibilita la colisión de tres estéticas: la corriente realista (realismo y regionalismo), el mundo animista maya-quiché y las vanguardias (surrealismo).El Señor Presidente is a vanguard text, not in the European sense, but following the hybrid form appearing in Latin America. The novel employs resources and discourse strategies of surrealism to resize the subjective experiences of some characters enveloped in the nightmarish and demonic atmosphere of the dictatorship. As a hybrid text, foreign aspects (European vanguards and Christianity) are combined with their own (Mayan-Quiche culture); and their coming together leads to the collision of three esthetic codes: realist currents (realism and regionalism), the animist Mayan-Quiche world and the vanguards (surrealism).

Realidad y ficción en la obra de Mario Vargas Llosa
