Contrapunteos de Lydia Cabrera
No full textEven today in the history of Cuban anthropology, little attention is paid to the writer and anthropologist Lydia Cabrera, who has only recently begun to be part of the list of intellectuals in official Cuban culture. However, because of her work and life trajectory, Cabrera can be considered the modern founder of studies on Afro-Cuban religions.
The main purpose of this text is to analyse Lydia Cabrera’s ethnographic work based on the idea that there was a ‘counterpoint’, a dialogue, a metaphorical game, between the liminal identity of the author herself – manifested in a racial, cultural, gender, social and political sense – and her interest and dedication to the contribution of slaves and the population of African origin to the history, culture and, ultimately, the identity of their Cuban homeland.Todavía hoy en la historia de la antropología cubana se presta poca atención a la escritora y antropóloga Lydia Cabrera, quien solo muy recientemente ha empezado a formar parte de la nómina intelectual de la cultura cubana oficial. Sin embargo, en función de su obra y trayectoria vital puede considerarse a Cabrera como la fundadora moderna de los estudios sobre las religiones afrocubanas.
El objeto central de este texto es analizar el trabajo etnográfico de Lydia Cabrera a partir de la idea de que existe un contrapunteo, un diálogo, un juego metafórico, entre la identidad liminar de la propia autora -manifiesta en un sentido racial, cultural, de género, social y político- y su interés y dedicación a la aportación de los esclavos y la población de origen africano a la historia, a la cultura y, en última instancia, a la identidad misma de su patria cubana

Intraspecific variation. This is a relatively uniform species, the main variability being associated with the basic pattern of the elytral vittae. Sometimes, the marking on the humeral callus continues externally of the yellow vittae, or it is interrupted and looks like two or three isolated spots. In some specimens the yellow vittae fade to yellowish brown, or the marginal vittae are absent, or they may be partly or entirely confluent at the apex and medial area. The head varies from parrot green to yellowish brown. The labrum and mouthparts vary from chestnut to dark brown. The antennae (except the basal antennomere) are unicolorous, but varying from cinnamon to dark brown. The scutellum varies from yellowish to amber colored. The femora and tibiae are frequently lime green. In some specimens, the prosternal surface varies from parrot green to yellowish brown, and the meso- and metasternum and abdomen may be green to yellowish brown. Etymology. Collicola, meaning that lives in the hills, refers to the environment where this species has been found. Biological notes. This species was collected on pumpkin and maize, two of the main hosts of Diabroticina throughout their distribution. Field-collected adults survived in a rearing chamber at 25 + 1 ºC, 14: 10 (L:D) h photoperiod, in 1.5 -liter cages for up to 4 weeks, during which period mating was observed, and about 80 eggs were obtained. However, no eggs hatched when incubated at 25 + 1 ºC in Petri dishes lined with moist tissue paper, suggesting this species has an egg diapause, a common trait of the Diabrotica in the D.virgifera group (Krysan 1982). Geographic range. The specimens described herein were collected in the vicinity of Balcozna (27 º 53 ’ 30 ’’ S; 65 º 44 ’ 04’’ W), Province of Catamarca, at an altitude of 1300 m, and this is the only area where the authors have found this species so far. Type material. Holotype: male, ARGENTINA: Catamarca: Balcozna, 14 -II, 2002, on Cucurbita maxima Duchense (Cucurbitaceae), Cabrera Walsh col. Paratypes: 2 males and 3 females, with the same locality, date and collector as the holotype.Published as part of Cabrera, Nora & Walsh, Guillermo Cabrera, 2010, Diabrotica collicola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), a new species of leaf beetle from Argentina and key to species of the Diabrotica virgifera group and relatives, pp. 45-55 in Zootaxa 2683 on pages 46-52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19937
Insolencia, exi(s)lio(s), punning: el exilio de Guillermo Cabrera Infante
No full textIn this article, the author explores the literary representation of exile in Guillermo Cabrera Infante‘s novels and essays, through the various leit motive that express this theme, together with the circumstances that forced him into exile in 1965, after an outstanding participation in the Cuban Revolution‘s literary and intellectual circles. The author also relates these motive and themes with those codified by another exile, the classical Roman poet Ovid, and explores some traits that characterize not only the exile in general, but also the Cuban exile in particular, especially a profound nostalgia for the city of Havana and the "habanero", whose loss Cabrera Infante‘s works translate into literature.Este artículo constituye una reflexión acerca de la representación literaria del exilio en la obra del escritor cubano Guillermo Cabrera Infante, a través de los diversos leit motive que la recorren, junto con las circunstancias que lo llevaron a exiliarse definitivamente en 1965, tras una destacada participación en los círculos intelectuales de la Revolución Cubana. Se establecen vínculos con los temas codificados literariamente por el –también exiliado– poeta clásico romano Ovidio para expresar el exilio, y se presentan los rasgos que caracterizan al exiliado, particularmente el cubano, entre estos, su intensa nostalgia de la ciudad de La Habana y del habla habanera, cuya pérdida transpone la obra de Cabrera Infante

No full textFile originally titled “Gen. Alvaro Obregón. File number 5. Subject: B.A. Luis Cabrera. Letter signed by Clemente Reynoso on April 29-919”. Clemente Reynoso is a pseudonym of Gen. Alvaro Obregón, used when answering a letter written by B.A. Luis Cabrera, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit. In said letter, Cabrera addresses three issues: How friends are made using an elevated position. How those friends are “political dead weight” and why the author himself did not make friends by using his position as Secretary of Finance and Public Credit. Clemente Reynoso analyzes the three points, harshly criticizing Cabrera. (This letter can also be found in series 11020700, file C-20, “CABRERA, Luis”, in the Alvaro Obregón database and in series 13010201 “Documents in a Lock Box. CABRERA, Luis; Clemente REYNOSO”, file 10/7 from this same Database). / Cédula titulada originalmente "Señor General Alvaro Obregón. Expediente número 5. Asunto: Lic. Luis Cabrera.

Luis Cabrera, Secretario de Hacienda y Crédito Público, en la que Cabrera aborda tres asuntos: Cómo se fabrican amigos estando en un puesto elevado.
