The Power of Ideas: The Ethical- Aesthetic Dimension of José Martí’s Humanist Teachings
In the context of what possibly could be perceived as the ‘age of humanism’s revival’, Martí’s fairly unexplored appraisal (in the English-speaking world) of Christ before Pilate, the acclaimed painting of the nineteenth- century Hungarian visual artist Mihály Munkácsy, suitably portrays the close, interconnected relation that exists (or should exist) between ethics and aesthetics, and their collective place in the broader framework of humanism. …
Equality, Solidarity, and the Human Condition: Categories of Humanism in José Martí’s Anticolonial Critique
An examination of the humanist thought embedded in José Martí's anticolonial critique reveals his deep devotion to human solidarity and human equality, with education, in particular, seen as "an act of love." Underpinning this commitment is Martí's considerate awareness of the "human condition" of the oppressed and colonized. Whereas humanism as theorized and practiced in Western liberal circles has neglected to challenge the current order of opp…
Revolutionary Cuban culture in review: Theories, tensions, triumphs, and the struggle for universal social change
The article, in essence, reconsiders revolutionary Cuban cultural policy, focusing on what many have come to perceive as a highly contested issue: the revolution's theoretical perception and practical decree in terms of ‘expressive freedoms’. The biggest challenge, conceivably, that confronted and continues to plague Cuba's cultural leadership, has been to carve out a clear path that defends the revolution at all costs against Western imperialist…
Che and the Pre-Eminence of Culture in Revolutionary Cuba: The Pursuit of a Spontaneous, Inseparable Integrity
The triumphs and continuity of the Cuban revolution in large measure can be attributed to the close bond that exists between political and cultural practice on the island. Emblematic of Cuban politics, key aspects of Ernesto Che Guevara's revolutionary thought find expression in Cuban cultural theory and practices in the national, popular, and expressive arts domains. This process strikingly sustains the revolution's goals to bring about an equal…
Contesting the mechanisms of disinformation, Part II. Castro, Cuba, and the Empire: ‘You Are Not a Liberator’
Part II of ‘Contesting the mechanisms of disinformation’ inspects prevalent Western imperialistic notions regarding revolutionary Cuba, and Fidel Castro's official contestation thereof: are Cubans denied basic rights that the ‘free world’ takes for granted? Is Cuba ruled by a totalitarian, Stalinist regime? Have the Cuban people surrendered their basic liberties, even though they might have achieved their equality? How is the concept of democracy…
Contesting the mechanisms of disinformation, Part I. ∗ Contemporary developments in Latin America: A South African perspective ∗ For Part II, see Critical Arts 23 (3) 2009
In the context of spiralling decay that, in recent decades, has engulfed all spheres of the human condition, this article seeks to endorse Tomaselli's essentially ethical position, advancing that the foremost contextual launching pad for cultural studies should be based on a socio-political moral framework that embraces concepts of truth, fairness, and freedom. It is argued that the rigorous questioning of – and hence, confrontation with – domina…
Manifestations of Humanism in Revolutionary Cuba: Che and the Principle of Universality
The humanist dimension of revolutionary Cuban society owes much to the thinking and action of Che Guevara, a principal architect of the Cuban Revolution. Examination of Che's association with the humanist tradition of revolutionary thought and, in particular, the ideas of Martí and Marx reveals his resolute devotion to moral standards and human values (as promoted by José Martí) and a revolutionary "theoretical response" to defeating human aliena…
Culture, nation and social cohesion: A scrutiny of revolutionary Cuba
During the 1960s era and beyond, official Cuban cultural thinking sought to address, among many other issues, the colonial legacy of cultural partition and cultural subjugation. It is advanced in this article that the revolution sought to achieve its objectives by endorsing, amongst other measures, the concept of ‘transculturation’, a theoretical position earlier brought to prominence by Fernando Ortiz, Cuba's leading anthropologist at the time. …
Guitar Composer Leo Brouwer: The Concept of a ‘Universal Language
In the realm of art music, Leo Brouwer (1939-) is widely considered as the most significant living composer for the guitar. Since the latter part of the 20th century, students of the guitar at most, if not all, recognized music institutions have increasingly sought to perform Brouwer's works. Correspondingly, at the South African College of Music (University of Cape Town) respected instructors like Elspeth Jack, Neefa van der Schyff, and others, …
