Product Description
José Martí: Images of Memory and Mourning
- Used Book in Good Condition
This book is a critical study of visual representations of José Martà The National Hero of Cuba , and the discourses of power that make it possible for MartÃ's images to be perceived as icons today. It argues that an observer of MartÃ's icons who is immersed in the Cuban national narrative experiences a retrospective reconstruction of those images by means of ideologically formed national discourses of power. Also, the obsessive reproduction of MartÃ's icons signals a melancholia for the loss of the martyr-hero. But instead of attempting to "forget MartÃ," the book concludes that the utopian impulse of his memory should serve to resist melancholia and to visualize new forms of creative re-significations of Martà and, by extension, the nation.
