José Martí: Images of Memory and Mourning

Emilio Bejel
4.9/5 (21939 ratings)
Description:This book is a critical study of visual representations of Jos� Mart� The National Hero of Cuba, and the discourses of power that make it possible for Mart�'s images to be perceived as icons today. It argues that an observer of Mart�'s icons who is immersed in the Cuban national narrative experiences a retrospective reconstruction of those images by means of ideologically formed national discourses of power. Also, the obsessive reproduction of Mart�'s icons signals a melancholia for the loss of the martyr-hero. But instead of attempting to forget Mart�, the book concludes that the utopian impulse of his memory should serve to resist melancholia and to visualize new forms of creative re-significations of Mart� and, by extension, the nation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
