La Revolución cubana se conformó, desde sus inicios, como un fenómeno de resonancias internacionales. Intelectuales de todo el mundo interpretaron y se interesaron por un proceso original dentro de las lógicas geopolíticas de la Guerra Fría. Desde 1959, intelectuales europeos, africanos, asiáticos y americanos viajaron a Cuba, establecieron conexiones con sus pares de la isla, participaron en los debates culturales y políticos del momento y cooperaron en la configuración de una comunidad a escala transnacional.

This two-day conference aims to create a framework for a broader understanding of the ways in which Spanish and non-Spanish musicians (including composers, performers, conductors, musicologists, critics, and others) relate to this key historical and ideological conflict of the 20th century. These relationships are not limited to the wartime period but also include the subsequent decades, in which a large number of musicians from Spain and abroad reflected on the confrontation and its consequences in their work.

Cette Journée d'Etudes portera sur les liens entre violence et politique dans l'Amérique Latine contemporaine (XX-XXIème). Nous nous proposons d'examiner le phénomène de la violence comme élément structurant du politique dans le sous-continent, qu'il s'agisse d'une violence d'"en haut" (contrôle, répression exercés par l'Etat), d'"en bas", sous une forme extrême ou diffuse. Nous nous interrogerons sur les modalités de manifestation et d'expression de la violence, ainsi que sur les buts qu'elle peut servir.
