Aesthetics and the Revolutionary City engages in alternative ways
of reading foreign visual representations of Havana through
analysis of advertising images, documentary films, and photographic
texts. It explores key narratives relating to the projection of
different Havana imaginaries and focuses on a range of themes
including: pre-revolutionary Cuba; the dream of revolution; and the
metaphor of the city "frozen-in-time." The book also synthesizes
contemporary debates regarding the notion of Havana as a real and
imagined city space and fleshes out its theoretical insights with a
series of stand-alone, important case studies linked to the
representation of the Cuban capital in the Western imaginary. The
interpretations in the book bring into focus a range of critical
historical moments in Cuban history (including the Cuban Revolution
and the "Special Period") and consider the ways in which they have
been projected in advertising, documentary film and photography
outside the island.
