"Cailcedrat" incluye parte de la historia de Odiseo y La puerta de no retorno hace referencia a la historia de Moisés. Tanto García Benito como Zannou usan figuras de la Antigüedad para hacer que los protagonistas-inmigrantes de sus textos sean héroes como Moisés y Odiseo. Como el inmigrante de hoy en día es a menudo un ser anónimo, sin fama e incluso sin nombre, esta visión es revisionista y radical.

Admirados por su agudeza y por el personal toque del artista, los Caprichos tienen una fuerte conexión con la Ilustración, y el análisis subraya el vínculo sobre la polémica de los sexos. Como muchos de los ilustrados más progresistas, Goya, a través de su obra, afirma una visión patriarcal.

However, pre-revolutionary Cuba is central in the formation of several literary,
visual, and performative expressions, as well as in the consolidation of distinct mechanisms of socialization and racialization in public and private life. Colonial Cuba, thus, adds essential brush strokes to the country’s portrait, featuring key moments of cultural subversion,
interaction and cooperation among emerging communities and identities before the Cuban
Revolution.
Cuba Colonial (vista desde el futuro) gathers scholars from different disciplines to share their insights on Colonial Cuba. This congress presents as an itinerary along with the various literary, visual and performative “revolutions” occurring in nineteenth century Cuba.
Through the lens of Race, Gender, Performance, Media, or Urban Studies, the works presented here offer novel methodological perspectives for research on Cuba’s colonial past. They also examine how colonial times shape contemporary Cuban national identities, cultural realities, and transatlantic relations.
