Participaciones de Sarduy en la prensa revolucionaria : Una entrevista fuera de lugar a Mariano Rodríguez

Entre 1956 y 1961 Severo Sarduy publicó una importante cantidad de textos sobre literatura, plástica y teatro cubano en el Diario Libre, Lunes de Revolución, Nueva Revista Cubana, Mañana libre y Combate 13 de Marzo. Participó de la explosión que caracterizó a la prensa literaria cubana a partir de la Revolución y se inscribió en las filas de los intelectuales que trabajaron en favor de ella. Entregado a sus labores de periodista plástico, un muy joven Sarduy entrevista al famoso pintor Mariano Rodríguez (1912-1990), co-fundador junto al escultor Alfredo Lozano (1913-1997) y a los escritores José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) y José Rodríguez Feo (1920-1993) de la revista Orígenes. Esta entrevista fue publicada en La Habana el 12 de octubre de 1959 y en ella se exponen juicios estéticos y políticos sobre el régimen de visibilidad cultural del arte cubano en el nuevo orden social. Cabe destacar que, a pesar de la ruptura que se produjo entre los editores de Orígenes, Mariano Rodríguez se convirtió en el creador del "Eolo" que sirvió de ícono a la postrera revista Ciclón (1955). Por lo tanto, presentamos un recorrido por dicha entrevista profundizando el breve pero significativo vínculo-desencuentro sucedido entre ambos

Alchemy and Symbolism in the Work of Carlos Estevez

The purpose of this thesis was to explore how alchemy has influenced Carlos Estevez’s work through a study of the symbolic repertoire and the philosophical concepts associated with it in his art, particularly how these are expressed in his artworks and how alchemy has evolved thematically in his oeuvre. The study of alchemy influenced this artist so deeply that even pieces that were not primarily inspired by this philosophical system show traces of it, essentially by representing the concept of transformation, crucial to understanding the alchemical process. This thesis is based on Carl Gustav Jung’s idea of metaphysical transformation as one of the main aspects of alchemy, and on his theory of active imagination as a tool to represent thoughts through artworks. Alchemy transformed Estevez’s art, and by extension the way he approaches life, making him conscious of the importance of transmutation and alchemical concepts.

Between Two Worlds : Harry Reade, the Sydney waterfront and Cuban animation

Harry Reade (1927-1998) was an Australian waterside worker-artist who became involved with animation production through the Waterside Workers’ Federation Film Unit, in Sydney. During the early years of the Cuban Revolution, Reade contributed to Cuba’s social and cultural reform process by influencing the development of the educational sector of Cuban animation. This article examines the forces that shaped Reade and the ways in which he contributed to the use of animation as an agent of social change.

“Art Will Not Disappear Into Nothing; It Will Disappear Into Everything“: The Black Audio Film Collective and Latin America

The development of Latin American cinema in the 1960s was underwritten by a number of key texts that outlined the aesthetic and political direction of individual filmmakers and collectives (Solanas and Getino, 1969; Rocha, 1965; Espinosa, 1969). Although asserting the specificity of Latin American culture, the theoretical foundations of its New Wave influenced oppositional filmmaking way beyond its own regional boundaries. This chapter looks at how movements in British art cinema, especially the Black Audio Film Collective, were inspired and propelled by the theories behind New Latin American cinema. Facilitated by English translations in journals such as Jump Cut in the early ‘80s, Cuban and Argentine cinematic manifestoes provided a radical alternative to the traditional language of film theory available to filmmakers in Europe and works such as Signs of Empire (1983-4); Handsworth Songs (1986) and Seven Songs for Malcolm X (1993) grew out of this trans-continental exchange. The Black Audio Film Collective represented a merging of politics, popular culture, and art that was, at once, oppositional and melodic. Fusing postcolonial discourse with pop music, the avant-garde and re-imaginings of subalternity, the work of ‘The Collective’ provides us with a useful example of how British art cinema has drawn from theoretical foundations formed outside of Europe and the West. As this chapter will argue however, the Black Audio Film Collective’s work can also be read as a reaction to the specificity of British socio-politics of the ‘80s and ‘90s. Its engagement with the aesthetico-political strategies of Latin American cinema, then, undercut what was a solidly British project, rooted in (post)colonial history and emerging ideas of disaporic identity. If the propulsive thrust of The Black Audio Film Collective’s art was shaped by Third Cinema, its images and concerns were self-consciously British.

Autoethnography : critical appreciation of an emerging art

In this article, the author discusses how she applied autoethnography in a study of the design of hypermedia educational resources and shows how she addressed problematic issues related to autoethnographic legitimacy and representation. The study covered a 6-year period during which the practitioner’s perspective on the internal and external factors influencing the creation of three hypermedia CD-ROMs contributed to an emerging theory of design. The author highlights the interrelationship between perception and reality as vital to qualitative approaches and encourages researchers to investigate their reality more fully by practicing the art of autoethnography.
