Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the globalization
of Cuban culture, along with the bankruptcy of the state, partly
modified the terms of intellectual engagement. However, no
significant change took place at the political level. In Community
and Culture in Post-Soviet Cuba, De Ferrari looks into the
extraordinary survival of the Revolution by focusing on the
personal, political and aesthetic social pacts that determined the
configuration of the socialist state. Through close critical
readings of a representative set of contemporary Cuban novels and
works of visual art, this book argues that ethics and gender,
rather than ideology, account for the intellectuals' fidelity to
the Revolution. Community and Culture does three things: it
demonstrates that masculine sociality is the key to understanding
the longevity of Cuba's socialist regime; it examines the sociology
of cultural administration of intellectual labor in Cuba; and it
maps the emergent ethical and aesthetic paradigms that allow Cuban
intellectuals to envision alternative forms of community and civil
society.
