While the past and future are often evoked in rhetoric associated with authoritarianism, Torres argues, an emphasis on human actions in the present is important for a more democratic political culture, and she searches over a century of Cuban thought for this perspective.</p><p>Delving into political texts and essays, literature, and art, Torres puts theories of temporalities in conversation with the Cuban experience. Torres closely examines the use of time and its political implications in Fidel Castros History Will Absolve Me speech, the writings of Jose Martí and Che Guevara, the poetry of Eliseo Diego and the <em>Orígenes</em> group, and paintings and performance art by Cuban exiles Nereida García Ferraz, María Martínez-Cañas, and Tania Bruguera.</p><p>Recent events in Cuba have placed the search for democracy and social justice center stage, and Torres also studies the temporalities underpinning these movements, asking whether these projects are providing alternatives to overused past and future tropes. She suggests ways of thinking for todays activists, encouraging them to remember history and imagine new possibilities while cultivating space for human agency now.</p><p>Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.</p>...4378052Democracy and Time in Cuban Thought588653https://www.gandhi.com.mx/democracy-and-time-in-cuban-thought-9781683404217/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4250362/image.jpg?v=638914246869530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781683404217_W3siaWQiOiIyYjNmNDZkNi0yOWM0LTRjYjAtYWIwMi0yYjFjMTkxMjJlYTciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjY1MywiZGlzY291bnQiOjY1LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjU4OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781683404217_<p><strong>How the temporalities of past, future, and present have been used in Cuban political rhetoric and expressed in Cuban culture</strong></p><p>In this fascinating analysis of political discourse in Cuban culture, María de los Ángeles Torres focuses on how the concept of time has been employed by different political projects.
