José Martí: Images of Memory and Mourning is a critical study of visual representations of José Martí—The National Hero of Cuba—and the discourses of power that make it possible for Martí's images to be perceived as icons today. Dr. Emilio Bejel argues that an observer of Martí'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. 

Presented in collaboration with FIU's Cuban Research Institute.
