Description:

These twenty-five essays deal with a series of recurrent topics: the paradoxes of revolutionary violence, the storming of the bourgeois city by the proletarian masses, the obsolescence and revival of the idea of "Cubanness", those fundamental myths of Castrianism which are the "new man" and "irradiant scarcity", memory, ruin… A book, in sum, about the Cuban Revolution, its fatal course from the nationalist celebration of the early days to the melancholic uncertainty of the current ones. Its splendor and its misery; its flame ant its smoke. Duanel Diaz Infante (San German, Cuba, 1978) holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University (2012). He has published Manach o la Republica (2003), Limites del origenismo (2005), Palabras del trasfondo. Intelectuales, literatura e ideologia en la Revolucion Cubana (2009), and La revolucion congelada. Dialecticas del castrismo (2014). He currently works as assistant professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. Los veinticinco ensayos reunidos aqui abordan una serie de temas recurrentes: las aporias de la violencia revolucionaria, la toma de la ciudad burguesa por las masas proletarias, la crisis y resurgimiento de la idea de lo cubano, esas dos fundamentales mitologias del castrismo que son el hombre nuevo y la pobreza irradiante, la memoria, la ruina… Un libro, en resumen, sobre la Revolucion cubana, su decurso fatal desde la fiesta nacionalista de los primeros dias hasta la melancolica incertidumbre de los actuales. Su esplendor y su miseria, su humo y su fuego. Duanel Diaz Infante (San German, Cuba, 1978) se doctoro en la Universidad de Princeton en 2012. Ha publicado Manach o la Republica (2003), Limites del origenismo (2005), Palabras del trasfondo. Intelectuales, literatura e ideologia en la Revolucion Cubana (2009) y La revolucion congelada. Dialecticas del castrismo (2014). Es profesor asistente de Espanol y Estudios Latinoamericanos en Virginia Commonwealth University.
