Tourist Trap: Cuba as a Microcosm
Hans Magnus Enzensberger, who called tourism an industry “whose production is identical to its advertisement”, also wrote about the pitfalls of what he called the “tourism of the revolution” that flourished between the world wars in Soviet Russia. This essay combines both perspectives in a discussion of the experience of making a film about ecology in Cuba in 2019, Cuba: Living Between Hurricanes, which includes a section on the tourist industry.…

Television's problem with (classical) music
The idea I have in mind is to compare the situation on television today and thirty years ago of what persists in being known as classical music. I write as an academic, but this will not be a normal academic paper. For one thing, I shall not do any special research but base myself instead on memory and autobiographical experience, because thirty years ago, before becoming an academic, I began by writing music criticism and making documentaries on…
Uses and Abuses of Documentary
This piece addresses the teaching of documentary in a situation where students have an extremely limited range of models but the sophisticated and powerful technology of desktop video to make them with. The emphasis of the analysis is on the institutional context, on the one hand, and drawing on a conversation with Fredric Jameson, the hidden narrative levels in the documentary itself, on the other

A Quartet for Our Times
In 1992, music suffered the loss of three of the most outstanding composers of our century, the Frenchman Olivier Messiaen, the American John Cage, and the Argentinian Astor Piazzolla. In these three figures, who all lived long and richly productive lives, can be found important clues about the
