Description

A collection of essays on theories of space in relation to Havana. Cuban Intersections of Literary and Urban Spaces examines Havana as a center where urban and literary spaces often come together. The idea for this collection of essays grew out of an international conference on Cuba, Cuba Futures: Past and Present, held by the City University of New York’s Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies at CUNY’s Graduate Center in 2011, but evolved out of a collaboration with scholars in the fields of literature, architecture, urban planning, and library science. The topics addressed peek at a dynamic Cuban nation through its cultural interstices at a crucial moment in the island’s evolving history. This conference proceeding opens with a piece on the intersections between Havana’s colonial built environment and the literary aesthetic of the Baroque in the Caribbean. The collection continues with the following areas of study: urban gardens, urban planning, architecture, literary projections on space, international relations and cultural institutions, access to books, and social policies. Carlos Riobó is Assistant Professor of Latin American Literature and Cultures at the City University of New York. He is also the author of Sub-Versions of the Archive: Manuel Puig’s and Severo Sarduy’s Alternative Identities.
