Sexual Diversity in Young Cuban Cinema

Autor Margaret G. Frohlich
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 feb 2023
This book explores how young Cuban filmmakers have expanded the range of sexual subjectivities on screen. It analyzes cine joven (films made by young directors) from the late 1980s to the early 2020s, film reviews, articles, and materials from the Cinematheque of Cuba's archive to illustrate the confluence of sexuality, cinema, and discourses of youth. While sexual and cinematic cultures have their own unique relation to the public sphere, state institutions, and transnational flows, this book explores tensions, debates, and expressions that unite them. In an investigation of how young filmmakers employ queer strategies of self-making to bring sexual diversity to the screen, Margaret G. Frohlich shows us how cine joven takes part in the socialization of power in Cuba.

Notă biografică

Margaret G. Frohlich is Associate Professor of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Dickinson College, USA, where she also contributes to Film and Media Studies; Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies; and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She holds a Ph.D. in Hispanic Languages and Literature at Stony Brook University. Her first book-length manuscript, Framing the Margin: Nationality and Sexuality Across Borders, was published in 2008 and won the international competition for the Victoria Urbano Monograph Prize of the Asociación Internacional de Literatura y Cultura Femenina Hispánica. Her articles appear in The Journal of Language and Sexuality; Studies in Documentary Film; Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas (formerly Studies in Hispanic Cinemas); Letras Femeninas; and Romance Review. She has traveled regularly to Havana to conduct research since 2012, with intensive work in the archives of Cuba’s Cinemateca and in consultation with its director, Luciano Castillo. In 2015, as a visiting scholar of NYU’s Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, she gave a lecture on homoerotic subjectivities in Cuban film. In 2016, she co-directed a research trip to Havana with students of her course on Cuban cinema and those of a colleague’s course on translation. Students heard from and interviewed faculty and directors from both of the island’s film schools. She has organized several lectures on Dickinson’s campus by Cuban directors and film scholars.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This book is especially valuable for Frohlich’s insightful analysis of the filmmakers’ use of new media technologies, original cinematic language, and engagement with the rich Cuban film tradition, while assessing how the younger generations are negotiating their contemporary sense of identities with the evolving project of the nation. This is a must read for anyone interested in Cuban film, gender and sexuality studies, and contemporary Cuban society.”
Michael J. Horswell, Professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature, co-editor of Sumergido: Cine Alternativo Cubano, Florida Atlantic University, USA
“Margaret Frohlich’s sparkling book is a welcomed addition to the Cuban cinema bookshelf. It addresses cine joven’s contributions to civil society/state debates of the past 40-30 years focused on issues of sexual diversity, participation, and identity and its intervention could not be timelier: Cuba’s young filmmakers continue to explore intersecting discourses of youth/sexuality and queer subjectivities in the face of a state that continues to sharpen the edges of what is considered acceptable. Frohlich’s book offers us many tools through which to understand the complex landscape of sexual diversity and civil discourse in Cuba today.” —Ana Lopez, Professor of Communication and Director of the Cuban and Caribbean Studies Institute, Tulane University, USA
This book explores how young Cuban filmmakers have greatly expanded the range of sexual subjectivities on screen.
